A Rotarian from Dallas, Jo Jo White, is very active in equestrian circles. She will attend the National Horse Show in November. Jo Jo is also committed to Rotary’s area of focus “Water & Sanitation”.
She will have a display booth at the Show for her cause “Clear Rounds for Clean Water”. Monies she raises will go through Wasrag (Water & Sanitation Rotarian Action Group) to Rotary club water & sanitation projects in the developing world.
Wasrag will provide promotional materials for the Show (see www.startwithwater.org ) But, she welcomes the support of every Rotarian in D-6740 who shares her passion for horses and for Water & Sanitation.
Please spread the word to your clubs about this opportunity to support the most important of Rotary’s area of focus.
There will be more information on this in upcoming newsletters. Here is some information about her past projects.
January 2011
I would like to thank all those who have supported and encouraged the long-term goals and vision of Clear Rounds for Clean Water. I am very grateful for all of the interest generated in such a relatively short period of time. Since its inception as a 501(c)(3) corporation in July of 2009, Clear Rounds for Clean Water (CRforCW) has been able to make significant financial contributions to several water projects. By joining forces with major worldwide non-government organizations CRforCW capitalizes on matching grants, proven sustainability of water and sanitation projects and accountability directly from personnel and volunteers in the field or on site. We are in Northern Uganda with Rotary
International and World Vision; Trujillo, Colon, Honduras with Hands to Honduras and the Rotary Club of Port Isabel, Texas; and Southern India with Living Water International.

Since the project launch on March 19, 2010 at the Paicho Primary School where the
first completed bore hole was dedicated, we are thrilled to report that to date we have successfully drilled or rehabilitated an additional 44 wells throughout the project area. This progress is not only ahead of schedule but considerably under budget.

Honduras in Trujillo, Colon, Honduras.
This project is developing a clean water supply for 6,000 residents of Barrio San Martin; building a dam, laying new pipeline from the dam to a new 42,000 gallon tank, a slow sand water filtration tank, a clean water tank with chlorinator and a back up well to insure
consistent moisture for the filter system and maintain water pressure in the distribution pipeline.
Living Water International in India
CRforCW funded the rehabilitation of a water well hand pump in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. As we move into a new year of some economic uncertainty financial support of charities is done with great discernment and scrutiny. CRforCW pledges to continue its efforts to help alleviate the world water crisis, to research viable
water and sanitation projects that are realistically sustainable and to finance such projects that are supported by committed indigenous persons and unwavering volunteers. Clear Rounds for Clean Water has in the past and will in the future make every penny of your donated dollar stretch to its maximum value. Please remember the terrible circumstances of more than 884 million people (roughly 1 in 8) that suffers from a lack of clean safe water. We welcome your continued support as we expand our efforts, seek donations and sponsorships.
Thank you again,
Jo Jo White
