Prior Lake Rotary teamed up with the Faribault Rotary Club on a Global Grant and District Grant to help provide educational opportunities for at-risk students and students with special needs at Ptea Teuk Dong (PTD) Learning Center. Prior Lake Rotary took the lead on a $92,000 Global Grant to help improve facilities for special needs students and provide professional development to teachers at PTD. Faribault Rotary took the lead on a $10,700 District Grant to build a soccer pitch for children at the school and in the village to encourage physical activities and improve health. Prior Lake Rotary came on board with a $2,625 contribution to the District Grant. (Photos of the progress and end results are shown below)
