“A tailor-made opportunity for India’s weavers “

While a 2005-06 Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar in
India, Hannah Warren gave a child laborer money to buy a dress.
She remembers wishing she could have done more to help the girl.
During her scholarship, which was sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Loves Park, Illinois, USA, Warren learned to speak Hindi and tutored
illiterate women.
In 2008, Warren returned to India to photograph sari weavers in
Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, part of a project funded by the Royal
Society for Asian Affairs. She had planned to shoot portraits of the
women wearing their hand-woven garments, but none of them could
afford to own the exquisite saris they wove for others or even to buy
the raw materials. So instead, Warren gave the women funds to
purchase materials to make their own saris. In their portraits, she
says, the weavers “looked so beautiful and proud” wearing the first
saris they had designed for themselves.
The experience motivated Warren to found Jhoole, a fair-trade
social entrepreneurship. The enterprise, based in Maheshwar,
provides impoverished women with training, materials, and an
international market for hand-woven goods so they can earn a living
wage.
In 2010, a US$12,500 Rotary Foundation Matching Grant provided
Jhoole with looms and other equipment, 1,500 pounds of cloth and
thread, and funds to cover office expenses, publicity, and website
design. It also covered the cost of training in weaving, sewing, and
personal finance from the Indore School of Social Work. The grant
was supported by the Loves Park club and four others in District
6420, including a $7,500 contribution from the District Designated
Fund. The Rotary Club of Khargone in District 3040 also provided
funding.
“With Hannah as a catalyst, we were given the opportunity to
improve the lives of women and children in an area of the world our
members may never visit,” says Past District 6420 Governor Anita
Papich.
District 3040 Governor Nalini Langer says that Warren “is making
commendable endeavours to empower women weavers and keep
the art of Maheshwari handlooms alive.”
“There is no way I could be doing this [work] were it not for my
Ambassadorial Scholarship,” Warren says. “Like Jhoole's programs,
Rotary scholarships are not a one-time donation; they are an
investment in goodwill.”

“
somewhere is to decide that you are not
going to stay where you are.”
Warm Rotaract greetings to our readers!!!
Hope you are keeping well. It is good to see
many clubs working hard despite time and Rtr.Jyoti Bhatt District Editor 2010-11
schedule constraints. Kudos to you guys!
But for the rest of you, buck up!! There has
been a decline in many clubs’ activities which
is unacceptable at this time when all of us are
up and ready for some major action.
Comic Corner
The next few months are going to be some of
the very best ones of this Rotaract year as the
DAC team has many events and projects lined
up for all of you. But as we have been saying
constantly, we require full support from all of
you to make our endeavors a success.
We hope to see better efforts from your side.
Take Care! 

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs
are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes
them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary.
Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they
also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international
understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract
