#ELIMIN8 In 34 countries around the world, maternal and neona-
tal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth
into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its
effects are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeat-
ed, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light
and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus
kills mothers too.
$1.80 WILL SAVE A MOTHER AND HER FUTURE BABIES
PROGRESS KIWANIS GOAL : 110M 14 M
DO YOUR PART– NOW!!
P LAN A FUNDRA IS E R !
A baby dies every 9
minutes from MNT
160 babies die each
day from MNT
Our goal is to raise
US$110million to elimi-
nate MNT by 2015
We will save and pro-
tect more than 61
million mothers and
their future babies
34 countries remain
at high risk for MNT
9000 Kiwanis leaders
will help achieve our
fundraising goal

Spotlight: 3 Club Reports
What a fun time of year! With exams and everything finishing up for the end of se-
mester, Claremont Key Club decided to lay low in January. We still conducted
our annual tree chipping fundraiser, raising over 1000$ for our trip to DCON. We
also continued planning elections, social, events and fundraisers to come in Feb-
ruary, as we plan on finishing the term of strong!
Claremont
We started the month of January planning a Humanities and Science Symposium slated
on Feb 17 for the benefit of Project Educate. We have invited three speakers –a lawyer,
environmental engineer and a biomedical scientist to share about their career path in
their field of work. Admission is free but donations are welcome. This symposium is open to
all key clubbers or any high school and college students. It will be at 1:30 at the Unitarian
Church , 949 West 49th Ave. Vancouver. . We started discussing about the upcoming elec-
tions which is happening on Feb 23.
Vancouver Westside
To start off our new year as Britannia Key Clubbers, we came up with a New Year’s resolution: to be
kind and caring leaders not only within our own club but also to other students in our school. In or-
der to make that dream come true, we came up with a creative and fun service project: making
handmade "Take What You Need" posters with a ready-to-take inspirational diction in hopes that
our fellow students can find peace and motivational encouragement and boost their self-esteem.
Given that school is such a stressful environment (due to exams and drama), we hope that our stu-
dents will find our project a catalyst to keep them going. January was also an appreciative month
for us because we were able to select a Guatemalan child to sponsor through YUDA BANDS. His
name is Cristian Ajbal, a 13 years old boy with a burning passion and big aspirations to become a
doctor. His siblings are disabled and his parents cannot financially support him with his education.
Despite his situation, Cristian is still determined to become a doctor that can hopefully save other
children like his siblings and himself someday. The Britannia Key Club is very proud to be able to
raise money for a good cause and we hope that Cristian will grow up to be a wonderful leader like
us.
