Alok Mohatta and CK Dheenan negotiated an extensive series of meetings, fundraisers and organizational tasks before securing approval from their respective Rotary Clubs, District Rotary Clubs and, ultimately, from The Rotary Foundation of India and The Rotary Foundation (USA).
CK, a retired physician, was Project Coordinator for the Rotary of Rockville, Maryland, supported by Club President, Frances Tetervin; Rockville Rotary Club Foundation President, Eileen McGuckian; and fellow Rotarian, Alan Tetervin. “We could not have achieved our Club goal without the remarkable support of hard-working volunteers and generous donors from California to Washington, DC,” said CK.
There are 33,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide, whose members give their time, funds and expertise for the betterment of the world. Alok Mohatta and CK Dheenan personify the Rotarian motto, Service above Self, in completing this global, humanitarian fundraising project.
