International Service

International Service 

This Avenue of Service is for the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

 

Through this Avenue, our club gives service on international projects and here are some examples of services we are providing:

• Pedals for Progress: Annual Pedals for Progress Program, where bicycles that are destined for American landfills are rescued and delivered to many developing countries where they are badly needed and highly valued partnership with local non-profit organizations, Rotaract, Interact and EarlyAct Clubs.

• Nepal Orphan Scholarship: started in 1995 - Annually providing full scholarships for more than 30 needy students and orphans in Nepal.
