Derick Pasternak is a Seattle #4 Rotarian, and has visited the Club in the past. He is embarking on a new project supporting education and housing for Roma (gypsy) ethnic children in Eastern Hungary. Of this population of children, only a third receive secondary education. This project affords funds for a much need upgrade to the communal bathrooms at the school that currently are in such disrepair that they are not used by the 480 students. The funds ($48,000) will be raised by several clubs in the District and matched by the District.
