In 2008 he received "Service Above Self"award from Rotary District 5950 for outstanding service in the community. He spoke about how Rotary has affected his life. Several years ago he received a scholarship from Rotary International the enable him to complete his law degree. His journey with Rotary started few years ago when he decided that he should pay back the scholarship that he received, the person that he spoke with at Rotary International told him that that was not possible but maybe he should join a local Rotary Club. Which he did. He is now very passionate about Rotary and the work that they accomplish. In 2014 he wrote a book titled "My Rotary Journey". Owoola Bello thanked Wooj for speaking to our club.
