INTERNATIONAL – DONNA PRAHL

2019 Country of Study is India

India National Flag

The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular

tricolor of India saffron, white and India green; a 24-spike

wheel, in navy blue at its center known as the Ashoka

Chakra. The Flag is based on the Swaraj flag designed by

Pingsli Venksyya. The flag became official on August 15,

1947. In India, the term “tricolor” almost always refers to the

Indian national flag.

A special type of hand-spun cloth or silk, made popular by

Mahatma Gandhi.

According to the Flag code of India, the Indian flag has a

ratio of two by three (where the length of the flag is 1.5 times

that of the width). All three stripes of the flag (saffron, white

and green) are to be equal in width and length. The twenty

four spokes are evenly spaced.

Gandhi first proposed a flag to the Indian National

Congress in 1921. In the centre was a traditional spinning

wheel, symbolizing Gandhi’s goal of making Indian self-

reliant by fabricating their own clothing. The design was

then modified to include a white stripe in the centre for other

religious communities, and provide a background for the

spinning wheel. Subsequently, to avoid sectarian associations

with the color scheme, saffron, white and green were chosen

for the three bands, representing courage and sacrifice, peace

and truth, and faith and chivalry respectively.

VOLUNTEER HOURS – Pat Meriedth

The Purpose of Volunteer Hours?

I have been asked several times, "What is the

purpose of turning in Volunteer Hours?"

Whenever someone asks me what is HCE, we as

HCE members should respond accordingly.

We are a not for profit, educational, and

volunteer organization. Volunteering is an

important part of what our organization is all

about. The reported hours are used by the IAHCE

State Board to recognize those outstanding


http://www.cuautismnetwork.org/


members who go over and above the call of duty

when volunteering. The U of I Extension uses

the hours to help show how programs they

support make an impact on their communities and

the state as a whole when proving their worth to

the state government. Our volunteer hours help

to support the U of I Extension program and

financing.

The IAHCE President refers to the number of

hours reported quite often during presentations to

non HCE groups. This information is important in

determining how much of an impact we make all

over the state of Illinois.

For example, if we were to remove the

volunteer hours designated to the 4-H program, it

would be guaranteed that the 4-H program would

suffer.

Members of HCE use the excuse that if I turn in

my volunteer hours, "I feel that I am bragging".

As your CVH Volunteer Chairman, I encourage

all HCE members to turn in all their volunteer

hours and receive your well-deserved pat on the

back. The most important issue to keep in mind is

that this information helps the U of I continue to

provide these services.

Remember, it does not matter how big or how

small the number of hours!

What matters most is that every HCE member

and every hour counts!

Please note there was an error in the 2018 Volunteer Hours in

the February Chatter for the Staley unit. The number of

members reporting should have been 40 and not 3.

Pat Meriedth
