 Rotary Club of Dhulikhel , with the support from Rotary District 5520 , Rotary Club of Albuquerque del Sol and Women To Be supported 60 disabled people with special food packages at Saphing village , the remote village of Kavre district of Nepal. Because of covid-19 strict lockdown and lack of sufficient agricultural land, most of the people highly depend upon the labor work in Kathmandu. With less food and no source of income, most of the people have been struggling for livelihood. The condition is worst for disabled people as people neglect them and comes to the last interim of feeding. Because of lack of awareness and age-old traditional concept of the people in this village, disabled people are treated like animals even some are kept like the dog in small cage. One of the village local leaders said no one has supported the disabled people of this village before. They are thankful to the Rotary . Thanks to the Rotaract club of Dhulikhel , Rotaract Club of Kathmandu University & Rotaract Club of Kathmandu University Medical Science. Special thanks to the past president of RC Dhulikhel & International Service Chair, RID3292 Rtn.Ranjeev Shrestha and Christine Glidden from Rotary Club of Albuquerque Del Sol and Women To Be. Rtn.Pralhad Prasad Parajuli , district chair to the especially able committee and Assistant Governor Rtn.Laxmi Khanal both were also present.

The Rotary Del Sol (RDS) Club with the New Mexico Ramp Project built 46 ramps for disabled individuals in the Albuquerque metropolitan area and partner support because the need is great.
Generally on the 2nd Thursday of each month club members met at the New Mexico Ramp Project (NMRP) warehouse to build
modules that were used on the following Saturday to build the ramp.
Rotary Del Sol (RDS) and its partners built eight (8) ramps in New Mexico during the last eight months and the average materials
cost for a ramps was $1,151.78. RDS paid $4,607.10 for materials to build 4 ramps which exhausted all grant funds. The additional
funds ($741.10) were made available by RDS. 4 ramps were built with RDS partners who paid for the materials and RDS provided
all the volunteers.

 Rotary del Sol was recently recognized as one of the #3 club in the District for giving to the Rotary Foundation. We were one of only 4000 clubs worldwide with a 100% member participation rate. The Rotary Foundation funds projects locally (like our Navaho Hope project which delivered dozens of semi's filled with food and supplies to the Navajo Nation) and internationally.

Our second ramp pre build and build took place on Thursday and Saturday this week.
Those at the pre build were Greg Hallstrom, Tony Pino, Ed Robertson as well as Doug Rowley, NM Ramps Chairman, and Mr. Reyes with the City of Albuquerque Senior Affairs Department. The pre build took about 3 hours.
The on site ramp build began at 7:00 AM and was finished by 1:00 PM.
Those in attendance were Michael McCaffrey, Dick Wilkinson, Lance Ellis and son Darrin, Brad Sackett and son Scott, Greg Hallstrom, Ed Robertson, Doug Rowley and Mr. Reyes.
This project was a little more involved because an old ramp had to be demolished before we could install a new one.
It was a great day and everyone left the job site with a real sense of accomplishment and thankful that a grandmother’s life was going to improve because of the work.

This year's New Mexico Governors Charity Ball was our most successful ever. According to Tony Pino - the event co-chair: This year's Charity Ball the biggest success ever. We broke several records:
1. Most attendees
2. Largest number of sponsors
4. Largest number of dignitaries
5. Most raised at auctions And, finally, most money ever raised- $140,000 (estimate) and climbing Thanks to all of you who made this possible. You should feel very proud of our accomplishments.

During late January-early February, Rotary Del Sol Club member Dave Ring served as part of a Rotary delegation from the U. S. and Canada aiding Indian Rotarians in their annual Polio Eradication Week. While India has been officially polio free since 2012, keeping the world's second most populous country that way requires major ongoing effort. During his time there, Dave met with hundreds of Indian Rotarians, helped inoculate many precious infants, and enjoyed the side-benefit of visiting the Taj Mahal, one of this world's seven man-made wonders. He'll be taking our club on a whirlwind remembrance of that trip this Thursday morning.

It's NOT the Ride to End pollo...that would be chicken! It's polio! My actual riding experience regarding the Ride to End poLLo, instead of polio would be more humorous if did not illustrate the problem we have keeping it on the world radar screen.

Del Sol Rotarians get the job done. Over two weekends, Rotary del Sol worked to create a new walkway for volunteers to walk pets at Watermelon Ranch, a local no-kill shelter. The project also helped us to raise money for Governor's Charity Ball auction items through a grant from DIsney.
