The Rotary clubs of Howden, England, and Varna-Euxinograd, Bulgaria, collaborated on a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant project to provide a van for the Saint Joan Zlatoust Day Care Center for children with special needs in the city of Varna, on the Black Sea coast. The center offers full-time care and a variety of health, education, and rehabilitation programs. The bright red van will transport the children to and from their homes each day.
