Kitchen Project is taking shape


The Industrial Kitchen project we are developing in an association between the local brazilian Rotary Club (Alvorada e Londrina SUL - D4710) and Rotary Club of Armidale Central, Australia (D9650), is already taking shape.


The photos below show the kitchen installation in progress, which was planned for students with Down´s syndrome. The pictures show also physiotherapy items and educational toys, which were included in the project since they were lost in the floods of October 2011.

How did the project start?
After the flood that devastated the APS Down School (Brazil) in October 2011, we contacted the Rotary Club of Armidale Central, Australia (where I participated in the Youth Exchange Program in 1993) and presented the difficulties the Down School was going through, because they had lost many equipments and educational materials.

Rotary Club of Armidale Central took the initiative to develop an international project to help the school and the idea of ​​making a Industrial Kitchen emerged. The main idea was to install and fit the kitchen to accommodate Down Students, which could become a form of income to the school and the students.


APS Down School thanks the Rotary for such generosity!
