Rotary set out in 2011 to raise $25,000 for a bus for the orphanage in Southern India but raised $50,000. Rotary Club of Orinda led the project and the clubs of Lamorinda (Lafayette, Sunrise, Rossmoor, Moraga) contributed money, as did the Interact Clubs of Northern California. (Interact are high school Rotary clubs.)
Rotary purchased the first bus in 2013 by matching $10,000 with Little Flock, and is buying another bus in 2017.
The remaining funds match Little Flock funds for their medical and dental clinic as well as their school that serves the orphans and the village around them.
To find out more about Little Flock visit www.littleflockhomes.org. It's located near a small village about 90 minutes from Chennai (formerly Madras). The orphanage was founded to handle orphans and castaways. It also serves the village with a population of about 1,000 with medical, dental and educational programs.
