Vocational training teams (VTTs) are groups of Rotarian and non-Rotarian professionals who travel to another country to learn more about their vocation or to teach local community members about a particular field.
District 5340 in Southern California's VTT, funded by a Rotary Foundation global grant, helped kick-start an Adopt-A-Village project in Nkonda, Uganda, that involved four areas of focus: water and sanitation, basic education and literacy, disease prevention and treatment, and economic and community development.
During the trip, their team of four Rotarians and three other professionals provided training in farming techniques, financial planning, and microcredit. They laid the groundwork for a clean water system, trained staff at a health clinic, and renovated a school's computer room. They motivated the local government to provide additional public funding for the school and clinic, and paved the way for partnerships with three local nongovernmental organizations to help sustain the project.
Both districts are Future Vision pilot districts. In July 2013, the Group Study Exchange (GSE) program will end with the implementation of the Foundation's new grant model, also known as Future Vision.
