ICC REPORT 2013 - Austria and Bosnia-Herzegovina
ICC Report Austria and BiH 2012/13
PDG Paul Jankowitsch, RC Baden
ICC Chair Austria and Bosnia i Hercegovina
ICC live
Since I was taking over the function as chairman for ICC activities in Districts 1910 and 1920
the first months after July 2012 were obviously filled with stocktaking and learning from my
side.
Successful meetings were held with our German and Swiss ICC Partners in Kassel, Germany
and the next meeting will take place in mid September 2013 in Gmunden, Austria. Also very
succesful and lively were activities and projects of the Czech Slovak and Austrian ICC as well
as the Israel – Austrian ICC. Until the end of the year 2012 a Romania - Austria ICC
cooperation document was signed in Bucuresti and the main driver is on the Austrian side
RC Zell am See. Similarily talks about deepening and widening the links with France were
held – mainly at the Peace Conference in Berlin, initiated by RIP Tanaka - and will hopefully
lead to further action in 2013/14.
In February 2013 Austria had the pleasure to welcome RIP Tanaka and at this occasion an ICC
agreement Japan – Austria – well prepared since the Fukushima exchanges in 2011 - was
signed with the first concrete youth exchanges planned in July 2013.
Recommendations/Marketing of ICC initiatives
Based on my impressions I proposed as „working hypothesis“ for starting new ICCs to have
at least 2 committed RCs on either side before signing an ICC agreement, which was well
accepted by our clubs.
In order to position the „Internationalisation“ avenue of service in our countries a new
presentation pack was put together – based on the Bangkok documents (thank you Toni and
Gianni) - and used in PETS/SETS seminars as well as in the most recent District Conference
June 7 and 8 2013.
In April 2013 a new type of workshop was held, assessing the past activities by the chairmen
of the various ICCs and identifying new regions and initiatives as well. Out of that a possible
Egyptian Austrian ICC, and maybe a Turkish Austrian ICC as well as a Serbian Austrian ICC
are developing.
New initiatiaves can also be reported from Bosnia i Hercegovina, where in April 2013 after
some preparatory talks in RC Sarajevo International a special workshop to assess options
and interest in Bosnia and Hercegovina in general was held.
Based on that we will inform the clubs on an ongoing basis and highlight the importance and
pleasure of the ICC avenue of service. Since the DGE has chosen his annual motto „ View
across borders“ we are very positive that our information, motivation and invitation for
respective actions will be well received in 2013/14

ICC REPORT 2013 - Eastern Africa
EASTERN AFRICA DISTRICT 9200 – INTERCOUNTRY COMMITTEE REPORT
MAY 2013
Introduction:
The ICC Eastern Africa Countries (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania and
Uganda) section, which comprise District 9200, is very young having formally been
established 2007-08 Rotary year. An operational District ICC function was established during
2008-09 Rotary year following the signing of an MOU between District 9200 and the ICC
German Section. Since that time, there has been frequent visits and regular correspondence
between these two sections. The German Section has regularly sent representatives to our
District Conferences and through such dedicated senior Rotarians such as Uwe Richardsen
and currently Joachim Piep, our District has come to appreciate the work of ICC. The
presence of a high powered ICC German Section team lead by Joachim Piep at our District
Conference and Assembly, for the past three consecutive years has helped cement our
relationship.
Activities:
The level of ICC related activities is only beginning to pick up. There have been some
running projects in education and literacy, assistance to HIV/AIDS victims and orphanages;
and water, sanitation and hygiene in all the six D 9200 countries, but these have not yet been
properly documented and a data base is being constructed with the help of our German
colleagues.
We are most appreciative for the Global Grants projects proposals by our ICC German
Section friends to help the people of the drought stricken region at the horn of Africa. The
Global Grants projects are to provide assistance to the displaced people of Somalia living in
border areas of Dadaab in Kenya and Dollo Ado in Ethiopia. It is important to note that over
13 million people in this region urgently need humanitarian assistance; and we are most
sincerely grateful to the ICC German Section for these timely interventions.
The Future:
There is great expectations from our collaborative efforts with the ICC German Section, and
our District has set up Coordinators of ICC activities in each of the six countries, including
cooperation/integration of Rotaract Clubs in D 9200 and D 1800 (the link District to the ICC
German Section) which has been initiated to create opportunities for young people to interact
and network with each other.

ICC REPORT 2013 - Eastern Africa
It is also very important to note that D 9200 has grown in all aspects and this growth has
resulted into a re-districting which takes effect from July 01, 2013. This has lead to the
creation of two new districts, D 9211 (Tanzania and Uganda) and D 9212 (Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Kenya and South Sudan). The set up for the continuation of relations with the ICC German
Section are being detailed out to ensure that progress gained is maintained.
All the above has been possible through very close working relationaships between District
Governors Wernt Brewitz of D 1800 and Geeta Manek of D 9200.
With the opening up of all Rotary Clubs to the Rotary Foundation Future Vision program,
Clubs in D 9200 are initiating projects to address the community needs, taking an integrated
projects approach, to address water, sanitation and hygiene, education and literacy, maternal
and child health, nutrition and food security, feminine hygiene, and poverty community
concerns.
In the same vein, we are open and willing to partner and work with all other ICC Sections;
and we are hereby inviting them to come to our assistance for the urgently needed
humantarian service to our needy communities.

ICC Report 12 / 13 Germany
Amongst all our projects which passed the regular and well known scheme
of Rotarian engagement, I would like to mention a possibily remarkable
observation:
German Rotarians donated for the victims of the Somalian famine.
The connected sum was split: 50 % for a camp in Kenia, the other half for
a camp in Ethiopia.
After long intensive investigations and research activities we decided
the cooperation with “Care” (Kenia) and the Jesuit Rescue
Service ( JRS ).
JRS sent all necessary paperwork, cost-estimates etc. propertly and
clear in an approperate time: the basement of our project (communication
centre) was defined.
Care received an immediate support for a bigger truck. There after,
longlasting writing activies took place: Care didn’t not accept our
rotarian rules concerning the use of funds control!!
That would have taken to much time and efforts for the company.
(We decided to continue with the “Red Cross”)
We have never expcted problem No. 2:
Neither in D 9200 nor in our pilot-districts D 1830, 1860 we found clubs
only to complete (more or less) the paper-work for a global giant!!
My conclusion :
Our ICC’ s should be informed again and again intensively about the
procedures of global giants.
The districts are even not prepared just to do the paperwork.
( the money already was available!!)
What is going to happen from now on, when Rotarians have to find
partners to finance a global grant?
We should think about these problems seriously.

ICC REPORT 2013 - Israel
Report on the activities of the ICC`s – District 2490 Israel
Rotarian year 2012-2013
Israel-France: this ICC is focusing on a project for the benefit of children suffering
from cancer, namely the organization of a trip to Euro Disney, Paris. Each child
accompanied by a parent. The Paris Rotary Club, who has among its members Rtn
Marianne Fraenkel (the French counterpart of Rtn Tova Ishai, Chair of ICC IsraelFrance) is very much interested in hosting the first group this very summer. The
French Consul in Israel is doing his utmost to encourage air companies to finance the
airfare. The estimated costs amount to Euro 5,000.- circa per child and escort, and
they include flight, transportation and a 4 days` stay at Euro Disney.
Israel-Serbia: There are some organizational difficulties as regards the relations
between Rotary International and Rotary districts in Serbia. RID Gidi Peiper is
handling this issue and is keeping in close contact with the incumbent Serbian DG. A
meeting was held at the Serbian Ambassador`s office on how to deepen the
cooperation between the two districts and PP Hanan Haas (the Chair of the IsraelSerbia ICC was able to arouse the interest of the Ambassador on the SACH (Save a
Child`s Heart) project. The Ambassador, together with PP Haas and members of the
Embassy`s staff, then visited the Wolfson hospital in Holon. The Ambassador also
contacted the Head of the pediatric department of a Belgrade Hospital and asked for
her professional cooperation. The Ambassador has also graciously accepted the
invitation to a dinner to take place shortly in PP Haas` home.
Israel-Hungary: on April 19th, 2013 seven Rotarians from the Vatz Rotary Club of
Hungary arrived in Israel for a short visit of the country. The ICC chair PP Yoel Fisher
organized their itinerary while PP Eliezer Kashay, ICC member, helped by escorting
the guests who did not have a sufficient knowledge of the English language. Some of
them resided at PP Fisher`s house in Holon and met with Holon club`s members on
Sunday April 21st, 2013. On March 20th, 2013 PP Fisher gave a dinner in honor of the
12 Rotaract members who came to Israel to share in the Youth Conference in BenShemen. The organization of the group as well as the initiative to increase the
participants` taxes were made in cooperation with the Hungarian DG.
Israel-Poland: ICC`s Chair PP Shlomo Bronher contacted his counterpart in Poland,
Malgorzata Czajukowska and additional ICC members. He also met with the Polish
DG Leslaw Morawski who travelled to Israel in March 2013 together with the group
of youth who took part in the Youth PeaceConference and joined them in touring
the country. Chair Bronher also met at the Youth Conference in Ben Shemen with
two escorts of the Polish Youth group. One group came with 4 Interactors (Interact
Poland was founded under the guidance of PP Gabi Oren from Gan Yavneh Rotary
Club)and the principal of KOWAR school and the other one came from WROCLAW
with 6 Interactors and was accompanied by a member of the local Polish Rotary
Club. Chair Bronher intends to formalize Interact relations between the two districts.
Israel-Belgium/Luxembourg: Chair PP Alex Rotfeld. In February 2013, five ICC
members travelled to the "Aleh Negev" project in order to learn the needs of the
- 15 -
residents in the village for autistic and disabled children. In their upcoming meeting
they wish to shape their pattern of activity for the benefit of the village together
with the parallel Belgium-Israel ICC. The ICC is also checking the possibility to share
in the SACH project and is pushing forward the purchase of medical equipment for
Wolfson Hospital, hopefully with the involvement of the parallel Belgian ICC too.
Israel-India: Chair Rtn Aviva Reubens. At the end of March 2013 a MG (old version)
in the field of education was established with the cooperation of the Rotary clubs of
Lod, Beith Dagan, Modi`in, Nazereth and more. The project concerns the supply of
700 kits for elementary school pupils, each kit containing pens, pencils, hygienic
supplies etc. Various Indian delegations from different Indian districts visited our
district in April and May 2013, and ICC`s Chair Aviva Reubens joined in some of the
meetings and activities.
Israel-Romania: In September 2012 members of the iCC attended the inauguration
of the Felix Rotary Club in Romania. In November 2012, ICC members participated in
the Bucharest International Conference and ICC Chair PP Ephraim Pri-Har gave an
address on the SACH (Save a Child`s Heart) activities for the benefit of Romanian
children. On that occasion, a twin –clubs agreement was signed between the Beer
Sheba Omarim and the Borsa Rotary Clubs. In December 2012 ICC Chair Pri-Har
attended the Berlin Peace Conference where he had the opportunity to introduce
the SACH activities. As a result, an agreement was reached for a continued
cooperation with the Romanian DG and the USA representative Dana Moldovan. In
March 2013 a large Romanian delegation came to Israel for the Youth Peace
Conference. HE The Romanian Ambassador to Israel honored us with his presence at
the opening ceremony. Additional activities of the ICC included the signing of a twinclubs agreement between the Kishon and the Piatra Neamt Rotary Clubs, the
meeting of the Romanian DG with the SACH administration in order to coordinate
the training of Romanian doctors at the Wolfson Hospital as well as visits to various
Israeli sites.
Israel-Holland: ICC Chair PP Mati Harel plans to organize a GSE between Holland and
Israel districts, and looks forward to the approval of the relevant DG`s.
Israel- Germany: Chair PP Laura Netzer. The meetings of the ICC take place twice a
year. In December 2012 the Israel-Germany and the Germany-Israel ICCs met in
Berlin in the framework of the RI Peace Conference. Members of both ICCs shared in
the Peace Conference as well as in the ICC Forum. One German student is now
studying at Tel Aviv University on a scholarship of the RF, another German student
has been accepted to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem , also on a RF scholarship.
In April 2013 the two ICCs met in Hildesheim , Germany. On the 40 th anniversary of
Hildesheim Rotary Club`s Charter, we agreed to keep on the cooperation between
the two ICCs. Members of the Germany-Israel ICC will participate in the Rotary
Institute which will take place in Jerusalem in November 2013. Furthermore, groups
of German Rotarians are planning to travel to Israel during 2013.

ICC Israel-Croatia: at the end of April 2013, two Croatian MDs arrived in Israel for a
month of training in invasive radiology and oncologic gynecology at the Rambam
Hospital in Haifa. The two doctors are accommodated in a comfortable flat with a
view on the Mediterranean sea in the town of Naharia . In the evening, and mainly
on the weekends, ICC Chair Reuben Cohen accompanies them on sightseeing tours
of North Israel. After they complete their training, they will enjoy a 2 days` tour of
Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and Masada and travel back to Croatia on May 18th, 2013.
ICC Chair PP Reuben Cohen has been invited to share in the annual convention of
Rotary Croatia in Osjecko between May 23rd and 26th, 2013. On May 24th, there will
be a meeting of the ICC in order to plan the 2014 activities. The 2013 program
includes also the arrival of 5-6 agronomists and veterinaries for training in various
agricultural subjects, such as sheep farming, management of dairy cowsheds and
cattle farming. Two more agronomists will join in, one an expert in field crops and
the other one in fruit production . According to plan, they should come to Israel in
October-November 2013. We are also planning to send to Croatia a delegation of
young Israeli wine makers for training in the preparation of white wines.
ICC Israel-Bulgaria: Chair PP Liora Gavish. This ICC has created an activity structure
with three clubs in the town of Varna by contacting them and suggesting
cooperation and mutual visits. The Interact president visited the Interact clubs in
Bulgaria and established personal relations as well as joint activity plans. After the
terrorist attack in Burgas in 2012, this ICC contacted Bulgarian clubs and offered our
assistance, we also donated blood for the wounded. The Israel-Bulgaria Chamber of
Commerce of Tel-Aviv has renewed its activities. New members registered and also
shared in the representatives of firms active in Bulgaria. This Chamber of Commerce
will make sure to keep organizing activities and cooperation with Rotary Israel. A
Bulgarian representative also attended the Youth Peace Conference that took place
in Israel in March 2013. We look forward to the participation of Bulgarian Rotarians
in the Jerusalem Rotary Institute in November 2013 and to develop further the
already good relations existing between Rotary Bulgaria and Rotary Israel.
ICC Israel –Spain: Chair PP Joel Salpak. In April 2013, PDG and District Chair of the
ICCs Avner Fuchs approved in principle the creation of an Israel – Spain ICC. PDG
Miguel Angel Taus was asked to handle the needful parallel procedure in Spain so
that an agreement between the two parties can be signed as soon as possible,
hopefully in the framework of the Lisbon Convention in June 2013.Plans are made to
learn how to establish twin clubs, to organize mutual visits of Rotarians, either
singles, families and groups and to identify programs of cooperation. Approximately

ICC Israel-Italy: In September 2012 ICC Chair DGE Shaul Dangeli attended the
unveiling of a monument in honor of Paul Harris which was held at Mt. Fumaiolo in
Italy (the source of the river Tiber). The insignia of the 25 Rotary clubs that
sponsored the project, including the only non-Italian one, Haifa Rotary Club, were
inscribed at the monument base. The official anthems of Italy and Israel were played
at the ceremony and addresses were given in praise both of the project and Rotarian
cooperation. During the current year we welcomed here two delegations of Italian
Rotarians who dedicated part of their visit to Rotary issues. Another delegation
postponed its visit from March 2013 to November in order to participate in the
Jerusalem Rotary Institute. In September 2013 a delegation of Israeli Rotarians will
attend the Peace Conference of District 2060 in Venice. In the framework of the
activities of District 2490, the incumbent DG participated in the Peace Conference in
Vicenza in April 2013. The main project the ICC is sharing with Rotary Italy is still
TRIUMPH, which is taking place this year for the 5th consecutive time, namely a
summer gathering of 30 children from 4 different countries, most of them from
Israel, Palestine, Italy and France. This activity will take place in the Peace Village of
Rondine and is the result of our initiative and the wonderful cooperation with
District 2070. Together with Italian clubs, the ICC plans this year to establish a Global
Grant for the restoration of an area that was hit by an earth-quake.

relations were held in clubs across Serbia.
Newly chartered ICCs and initiated new ICCs
Four new ICCs were chartered: Croatia-Serbia, Macedonia-Serbia, Hungary-Serbia

UA/CZ&SK, UA/GE. Few of them are nearly collapsed, like ICCs UA/NL,
UA/USA, UA/ISR or UA/BY.
The specificity of our D 2230 (Belarus, Poland and Ukraine) is, that we have not
“outside” ICCs only, but the “inside” ICCs, too. So we have ICC UA/PL and
UA/BY, as well as BY/PL.
Unfortunately the long story with establishing of ICC UA/Cyprus is still not
finished. Our Friends from Cyprus are very busy, what is caused of the
economical situation, so we are still waiting for activation of this process.
Last year there was few main projects, organized of ICCs, finished:
1.The book “ROTARY as a Global Values-Based Community. Ethics in
Business and Society” of Rtns. Dr. Jisef Wieland and Harald F. Mueller was
translated from German/English into Ukrainian/Russian Languages. The book

Conference and in Berlin by occasion of ROTARY Peace Forum in Berlin
