In October 2019, North American Rotarians will travel to Monrovia, Liberia for a life changing experience. Have you ever heard a Rotarian speak about their personal experience participating in a cleft lip/cleft palate mission, or hands on work on a humanitarian grant? These trips have a profound effect upon the individual. For those of you who have gone on one of these trips you know, and for those of you who have yet to enjoy this experience, you should.
The West Africa Project Fair is endorsed by Rotary’s Reach Out to Africa Committee (ROTA), who is trying to generate greater connectivity between the African and North American Rotarians to generate greater support of the projects of Africa. This committee needs your help, leadership and motivational skills, as immediate past president, to generate awareness, interest and action to support these projects. Further, projects fairs are an expanding program, encourage by Rotary and The Rotary Foundation as an extraordinary opportunity for clubs to find viable, qualified humanitarian projects
Please ask the 2019-20 President if you can announce this program in your club over the next month, get it on websites, and get it in newsletters. Encourage your members to participate – help Rotary Be the Inspiration and Connect the World.
Let us know if you have any questions. We hope to hear from you soon.
