It all started with a chance encounter back in 2005 when Rusty Broughton of the East Idaho Falls Rotary Club met Dr. Princewill Oyakhilome at a Polio National Immunization event in Ghana. Now, nearly ten years later, the Magic of Friendships in Rotary is clear! Six Rotary Districts

(Kansas, Colorado, California, Minnesota, Idaho, and Nigeria) and 22 Rotary clubs (11 in District 5400) joined together to create a project in Benin City, Nigeria, under the banner of WASRAG (Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group). With matching funds from The Rotary Foundation($27,350) work on the project is now about half complete. So far, 14 water wells and 14 bathrooms have been completed in what will ultimately be 28 remote villages serving some 36,000 people. Rusty and Princewill continue to monitor the projects' progress.
