Continue our relationship with the Tepic Nayarit club and find ways in which we can define new goals and opportunities in helping the migrant sugar cane and tobacco workers and their children. Work on simplified grants, DDF, and matching grants and perhaps make another fact-finding trip before identifying a long term, hands-on project both clubs can become involved in ( perhaps a water project) and establish a lasting relationship with the Indians and the Tepic Rotarians. Work closely with the World Community Service committee for proposed funding.
