Ken Hodge a member of the Newport News Rotary Club, linked up with the Nkwazi (Zambia) Rotary Club and was awarded a Rotary International 3-H Grant. (pending completion of a bridge built in Zambia as an example of what can be accomplished) to support training of Zambian workers in the skill of building modern footbridges in remote locations of Zambia. Our club has been asked to consider the project and the subject will come before the board and the membership later this year. Volunteer positions are also available for those willing to go to Zambia and help in the planning and construction of the representative bridge which is part of the requirements to be met in order to kick off the 3-H grant funding. for interesting charts see: http://www.bridgestoprosperity.org/
