Clean Water in East Chicago
Posted by Mary Kaczka
Bottled drinking water is needed to provide an alternative to the contaminated tap water for the residents of the Calumet neighbourhood of East Chicago, Indiana a Superfund site. Residents of the Calumet neighbourhood of East Chicago live in an environment polluted with elevated lead and arsenic in the soil around their homes, in some cases, exceeding the EPA allowable limits. The west Calumet part of the neighbourhood was the former site of USS Lead. The area was listed on the National Priorities List of the worst contaminated sites in the country in 2009 and was declared a Superfund site by the U.S. EPA. Under a consent decree entered between the responsible parties and the EPA funds have been secured to remediate/excavate the contaminated soil. |

Helping people with disabilities make their own music![]() Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. |

Saving lives in Ghana![]() A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga. |
