On March 23rd, the Lewisville Morning Rotary Club honored Hebron High School Special Education Teacher Karen Cummings as our Teaching Vocational Hero.

 

Rotary believes that Vocations are an opportunity to serve humanity. And, no one serves humanity more than our teachers, police officers and firemen. Consequently, Rotary clubs throughout District 5790 have been honoring the outstanding vocational hero's in our district.

 

Karen was nominated by Hebron High School leadership for her outstanding dedication to the special needs children of Hebron High School. Karen is a graduate of the University of Texas in Dallas. She has been married to her husband Don for 36 years an has two daughters Lauren and Lindsey.

 

Lewisville Morning Rotary has gotten to know Karen when she attends one of our meetings where we honor a Student of the Month from the Special Ed program. Clearly she has had an impact on these students and their families.

 

Congratulations Hebron High School Vocational Hero, Karen Cummings!

The lack of water in the Tribal Regions of India has lead to extreme poverty among peoples that live in this part of the world. This is an area that suffers extreme rain during the monsoon season two months out of the year. But, experiences extreme arid conditions for the remaining 10 months.

 

The Lewisville Morning Rotary Club and the Nasik Rotary Club is proposing a $33,000 Vocational Training Team Grant to study the best possible way to give these peoples a way of capturing the water received during the monsoon season and storing sufficient amounts to last the entire year. In addition, the team will study how to provide safe drinking water, water for hygienic needs, water for husbandry and plant growth and water for personal sanitation.
