Presentation to Springfield Rotary

We would like to thank the Springfield, MA Rotary for allowing us the opportunity to give a presentation about our upcoming trip. On February 21st we gave a presentation that outlined Rwanda, the Rwandan Genocide, and the service work that we plan to do while abroad. This presentation was the first step in our fundraising experience while preparing for this trip. It opened doors to many opportunities and spread awareness to a wider audience. Many of the people we met during this presentation became extremely enthusiastic about our trip. This compelled us to continue fundraising and spreading awareness about what it is we are doing. Our gratitude to the individuals who made generous donations of supplies and funds is abounding. In addition to this experience being a practice in networking it also gave some of our group members a chance to become acquainted with the general history of Rwandan as well the culture. Not all of our group members specialize in Genocide studies so this presentation was a necessary step in preparing our knowledge of Rwanda and its culture.
