While many people would like to think that slavery was a tragedy of the past, the truth is that it still exists today, with up to 46 million people enslaved worldwide. The Rotarian Action Group Against Slavery (RAGAS) has a strategy for fighting this horrible problem, working at the local level. “It’s this Rotarian attitude – you give them a problem and instead of throwing their hands up in dismay, they start chipping away at it piece by piece,” says Carol Hart Metzker, a member of the action group. “Maybe slavery won’t be solved in my lifetime, but in two more years, we’re going to have a whole hamlet free.” Poverty, illiteracy, innumeracy, and natural disasters that destroy crops or homes can leave villagers vulnerable to debt bondage in rural villages.
The district vocational scholarships provide educational opportunities for men and women in District 6440 who are preparing for careers that require less than a four-year degree (Associate Degree, Diploma or Certificate) in order to enter those careers and become successful and productive.
Approximately 11 district vocational scholarships in the amount of $1,500 each will be awarded to full-time students enrolled in a vocational degree or certificate program at an accredited school.
This award will be used for tuition only, not for fees, books, tools, supplies, food, travel or personal expense.
Each club in the District is allowed to submit two applicants. 5 of the 11 scholarships will be awarded to students attending non-profit educational institutions (community colleges) and the other 6 will have no limitations. The duration of the scholarship will be one year.
