1. Introduction
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability means different things to different organizations. For The Rotary Foundation, sustainability means providing solutions to the needs of the community so that the beneficiary community can sustain activities after funding ends. Global grant projects must be sustainable and have the following characteristics:
Community Needs - The host community and Rotary project sponsors develop projects based on community assessment of their needs and strengths.
Appropriate Technology - Design materials are appropriate for the community and, ideally, are purchased locally.
Sustainable funding - The community is able to sustain the project without ongoing financial support from The Rotary Foundation or other Rotary sources.
Knowledge transfer - The project includes the beneficiaries of teaching how to meet their continuing needs after the project is completed.
Motivation - Schools receiving the equipment will be able to take ownership of the project upon completion.
Monitoring and evaluation - The project includes a measurement plan to confirm a significant improvement, ideally for at least three years.
We identified the need at the EBM school Rodolfo Hollenwerg, conducting scheduled visits, inspecting the facilities and registering the needs of the schools.
The acquisition of the project will address the needs of school-age students for basic education improvements and improvement of pedagogical tasks proposed by teachers in new projection rooms and in the modern computer lab.
All management and teachers are committed to receiving the project because they have been technologically outdated for many years and have limited access to technology, hampering the education of school-age students.
The project provides training and supervision to teachers and heads of teaching.
The school will be accredited after delivery and will not need new Rotary resources, and will constantly review the equipment according to the training that will be given.
The financial resources obtained by the global grant project will allow the use of the equipment without need of repair and for three years the Rotary Club of Blumenau-Fortaleza will do the necessary maintenance.
The school will be accredited after delivery and will not need new Rotary resources, and will constantly review the equipment according to the training that will be given. To give this project sustainability, we are suggesting to the school participating in the project to organize an annual school sports tournament called "RC xxx Tournament", with the participation of the community and young athletes from invited schools and with sale of pastries and drinks. The funds will be used in computer room upgrades with the help of the global grant.
The financial resources obtained by the global grant project will allow the use of equipment without the need for repairs and for three years the Rotary Club of Blumenau-Fortaleza will contribute to the proper maintenance.
Regarding environmental sustainability, we are proposing that the school and Rotary Club of Blumenau-Fortaleza plant planting seedlings.

The Rotary Club Partner is our partner in the design of the global grant project with a focus on Basic Education and Literacy and contributes with its experience to help us to idealize and follow the project with programmed visits, implementing in this way an exchange of cultural knowledge, always providing a solution adequate to the needs of society. With the inclusion of the Rotary partner, Brazilian teachers will benefit from new knowledge and appropriate technology to educate students. This Global project concept has already been developed and approved by The Rotary Foundation and benefits Schools, Universities and Social Project Centers.

The District 4650 - SC - Brazil, responsible for helping our Club in this great project of sustainability in education and literacy, contributing with all the support in the preparation of the project with the guidance of EGD Leopoldo Defaci, the Rotary Foundation Committee President EGD Militino G Eising and our GD Helvino Wilsmann, and with the contribution of $ 9,300.00 from the FDUC fund.
The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, our great partner in implementing the humanitarian project with the DDF grant in the amount of $ 18,531.00
The Municipality of Blumenau through the Department of Education has invested in the structuring of schools, maintaining them with an excellent body of teachers, feeding program for students of school age and invested in fiber optic technology, providing good internet communication which allows the flow of information for training and online courses and constant improvement of teachers and students of school age.
The Technical Officer, Rotarian Fellow, author of the project, Vinícius Martins Muzy, chair of the Rotary Foundation Project Committee is the Administrator of the Federal Council of Administration (CRA) and Commander of the Brazilian Chamber of Culture, and signs and supervises the implementation of the project.
The Club Administration Committee formed by President Valdecir Mengarda is a teacher and administrator, having in his career exercised a public function in the Secretariat of Social Assistance of the Municipality of Blumenau, knowing well the social problems of students of school age. And his successor, president-elect 2018/2019 Paulo Bonin, a professional with more than 30 years in information systems company and current president of ApesBlu - Association of Paradesport School of Blumenau, has contributed to the inclusion of students with physical disabilities in sports and education.
2 Rationale and Need
The project of the computer room and the seven projection and multimedia rooms will be run in a municipal public school in the municipality of Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil and will directly benefit about 270 school-age students from the school: Rodolfo Hollenwerg Basic School, responsible for the association of parents and teachers of that educational entity.
It aims to broaden the possibilities of working in the classroom and bring the functionality to this school environment to improve the education of all children and the literacy of children, young people and adults.
With the support of the partner Rotary Club, the project will be widely used to promote the professional development of our teachers, performing foreign language exchange, cultural exchange for teaching our schoolchildren up to 17 years old. In addition, the school may invite students' parents to interact with their children in pedagogical activities, use of technology in the library and computer room.
The school is located in a poor community of the municipality, where the majority of parents have a family base to provide outsourced services and rely on the school as the great partner in the integral basic education of their children.
How will it meet the needs of the community? Estimated beneficiaries.
This project will be implemented by the Rotary Club of Blumenau-Fortaleza and RC Partner and District, which will use its own resources and financial assistance from partners and The Rotary Foundation through the use of a Global Grant for the purchase of computers and projectors for the facilities of equipment in classrooms and for the training of operators.
It should be noted that this project, the Rotary Club of Blumenau-Fortaleza, carried out an action among friends for the collection of financial resources, which generated resources that have already been used to revitalize the school's computer room as a new electric grid, which are ready to receive the equipment to be obtained through this Global Grant, lacking investments in furniture.
This project will serve in two shifts the 270 students enrolled in this school unit, enabling the active participation of each student in the pedagogical activities prepared by the class teacher and by discipline, giving them the opportunity to conduct research and school work.
In the year 2018/19 there will be groups of elementary school students, young people up to 14 years of age, and the students of the schools will participate in this room as elementary school students and the program to encourage culture, using this tool for research and increasing the possibilities of autonomy in the use of projections in the classroom.
The project will expand the possibilities for the life of the students of school age contributing with the professional formation of the students, will increase the methodological resource of the teachers with interchange and new tools and softwares for their professional improvement, motivating them in classes more creative and transmitting more knowledge to students, in addition to creating a social and interactive space in these school communities, favoring integral development.
Educational institutions, whether or not they want this paradox, need to educate children with a minimum of structure and assistance from the rulers, and it is up to them to improve the way of transmitting knowledge and reducing differences among existing classes.
It is imperative that all possible resources be applied to form the CITIZEN and encourage their creativity, making them question this unbridled search for perfection and the constant development and use of IT rooms can make a great contribution to this.
Living with teachers, management and students, we realize the need of projects to organize issues such as: lighting, air conditioning, comfort and cleanliness of structures, technology directed to education to improve learning and socialization of school children.
