Our Questions to you:
How to make THE ONE better?
How to make THE ONE a truly
International Rotary Project that is
promoted in every major country?
We have set up a stewardship committee to ensure that all money given to
awardees would be properly spent.
All the awardees also have to submit mid-term reports and final report under certain
criteria before they can receive the award
money. All Bills and expenses have to be
reported and copies sent to us.
Awardees are reminded that the logos of
Rotary and THE ONE must be suitably and
prominently displayed in the premises
which are built/ renovated /enhanced
using the award money.
