Blueberries are sweet, nutritious and wildly popular.

Often labeled a superfood, they are low in calories and incredibly good for you.

They’re so tasty and convenient that many people consider them their favorite fruit.

Cleone has sent photos from Kenya of the car that our Rotary Club donated the money for so that these young men may learn to work on it.

Kenyan Students Thrilled!

The Rotary Club of Port Moody donated an old car for environmental automotive mechanic students to learn from. 

They live in a Kenyan village and need practical skills to thrive.

Musembe Technical and Vocational Institute is piloting it's first courses to help achieve that.

Watch to see how the Interactors are working to bring in tools.

Yay Rotary!
