The Rotary Club of Goodyear Pebblecreek has pledged $500 to help renovate a school in Budapest to serve Ukrainian students displaced by the war and is challenging every other club in District 5495 to match Goodyear Pebblecreek with a club donation of its own.
 
Our sister club Rotary club in Budapest-City (RCBC), Hungary (HU) is asking for help to pay the start-up costs for a new Ukrainian Elementary and Secondary School House for 350-400 war displaced children in Budapest.
 
There is not enough time to do a global grant approach as the school is scheduled to open in September 2023 if the building can be remodeled into 11 classrooms.
 
RCBC has the building, the government-approved certificate and has identified Ukrainian teachers -- and now needs $65,345 (23,556.000 HUF) to complete the project. 
 
The MOAB Rotary Club has pledged $25,000, Utah District 5420 has pledged $10,000, Latter Day Saints Charity affiliate in HU has pledged $15,000, District 1911 HU pledged $2,835, and Rotaract District1911 HU $425 -- leaving a “balance to raise” of $12,085.
 
Combined club monies or individual wired monies will be sent when final project details are confirmed by RCBC President, Kristóf Kovács (kristofkovacs25@gmail.com).  
 
The Rotary Club of Goodyear PebbleCreek is pledging $500 and is challenging every club in District 5495 to match that donations.
