We, at the Bogotá Teusaquillo Rotary Club  are thrilled that your Organization is providing financial support for our important social project “POTABLE WATER FOR PROVINCIAL SCHOOLS – Phase I”. 
It concerns the installation of 50 sky-hydrant utra-filtration membrane filters to provide safe  drinking water.
The project, with a total cost of $ 128,000, will provide safe drinking water to more than 9,000 students in 50 schools.
Supported by the International Foundation DISASTER AID INTERNATIONAL part of the Endeavour Hills Rotary Club in Victoria, Australia, we have a dream to provide safe water to all children in schools ages 7 to 13 in rural sectors in Colombia. Our Club is coordinating a total of nine (9) Rotary Clubs that are local to the school areas, providing financial, logistic, and project managing guidance.  Our lead includes the Application process for a Global Grant with the Rotary Foundation, which has been initiated under the File No. GG1745928.  Once we have completed the financial aspect, we will schedule the completion and submittal of the application for approval in last part of May 2018. Until it happens, we would kindly request that you keep us in mind until the money can be deposited in the approved GG fund. 
Your donation of $ 3,180 is an important part of this dream, and will take us closer to make it possible!
Please extend our heartfelt appreciation to all your organization. 
We will keep you informed of our progress.  Speaking on behalf of our Club and the other nine provincial Clubs participating in the Project, we extend our invitation to your team to visit with us at any time, so that you can have a better vision of the impact your support will mean to our children.

With our warmest regards,
