Dunwoody Joins Alpharetta to Make a Difference in Brazil

This Monday, 3/21, was World Down Syndrome Day (Down persons have a third instance of chromosome #21.  Clever, eh?). Notably, it’s ALSO the day that Rotary Club of Alpharetta and Rotary Club Pelotas Oeste in Brazil celebrated approval of a $70,000 Rotary International Global Grant to fund special education and training for Down persons, their families and support groups in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. God’s timing is excellent!

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is a partner to this project, along with Peachtree City, Roswell, Stone Mountain, Dunwoody, Atlanta Brazil AND D7780 clubs Bath and Yarmouth, and five more Rotary clubs in Brazil - for a total of 15 clubs and three districts!
