ABOUT JANESVILLE KIWANIS CLUB AND THE SOS PROJECT Janesville Kiwanis Club is the premier service club in Janesville, Wisconsin, USA - We take the Kiwanis motto, "Serving the Children of the World" very seriously. Janesville Kiwanis Club was chartered in 1921. It's very earliest service projects involved providing financial assistance for the medical needs of children who's families cold not afford such care. The SOS Project is a continuation of this service, that we hope can be spread, through the efforts of other Kiwanis clubs, throughout the world. When our club was presented with the opportunity to supply a learning system that has been proven to work in aiding in the awareness of their enviornment for children with multiple handicaps, including blindness or sever vision imparement, we were interested. When we determined that the available equipment was too expensive for most public school syatems, not to mention in home use by the parents or gardians of these children, we decided to fund this equipment to school systems and "on loan" to parents and guardians of children in need in our area. We believe that the SOS Program could be a grass roots program for Kiwanis Clubs throughout the world, that could grow into the next Kiwanis Worldwide Service Project (remember IDD?). |
