Rotary Foundation Thought of the Week

Brought to you each week by PDG Bevin Wall, District Rotary Foundation Chair; and reproduced courtesy of www.rotary.org

This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about Humanitarian Programs in East Asia related to education.

The Japanese Rotary club of Omiya City Rotary (as reported through The Rotary-No-Tomo, the English language Rotary Magazine) has built schools and provided books in Bang Kong, Cambodia. The Nabari Chuoh Rotary has built a library for children of the Suoi Day Elementary and Junior High School in Vietnam. So many projects like these show Rotarians’ dedication to education and literacy.

Rotarians are proud of their long history as sponsors for Educational Programs. Yearly support to the Annual Programs Fund’s Every Rotarian Every Year initiative ensures the tradition of educational excellence is upheld.

For more information on giving or program participation, contact PDG Bevin Wall District 7730 Rotary Foundation Chair at Bevin@RLI33.org.

We remember those who have died in service to our nation.

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day weekend!

Lead the Way!
