An example of the power of DISC 7780 International Cafes. Within 30 days of the inspiring presentation at a Café in 2021, District 7780 became activated and raised over $10,000 to support this project, a human milk bank in Dharwad, India. The Global Grant was submitted and approved, and The Human Milk Bank at Dharwad was Inaugurated and started operation on the 29th of June, 2022. Included in this article is a photo of the signage for the Rotary partnerships and another of the Team of Rotary Club of Dharwad which took the lead in the Global Grant. The District and the Bridgton-Lake Region, Bath Sunrise, and Kittery Rotary Clubs were all recognized for their contributions to the success of this grant.
