UnknownThat the Parliament welcomes the more than £8,000 raised by Monifieth Rotary Club, which it understands will be used to finance a major water and sanitation project in Zambia; notes that the club donated £2,050 to the charity, Village Water, which was then doubled by Rotary International’s charity, the Rotary Foundation, and later doubled again by the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge; understands that Village Water is supporting projects in two villages, Kalwizhi and Kawi, which are in the western province of Zambia; understands that the charity will provide vitally-needed water pumps, wells and sanitation facilities and will ensure that the communities are directly involved and responsible for much of the construction work, maintenance, hygiene and sanitation; believes that the Monifieth club is currently involved with projects in India and Africa totalling over £38,000; notes also the club's activities closer to home, including taking over the running of the switching on of the Monifieth Christmas tree lights, and welcomes what it sees as the commitment of the club and its members to support their own community and people much further afield.

Computer-generated best guess
Possible final motion text as originally lodged
This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
