July 16, Amir Waly

Amir Waly, originally from Iraq Kurdistan, was our guest speaker for July 16. Amir is a dedicated member of the Lincoln Literacy team in Nebraska.

Drawing on his personal journey as an immigrant, Amir plays a vital role in supporting refugees and newcomers as they adjust to new life in the United States.  At Lincoln Literacy, he helps empower individuals through language education, workforce preparation and community engagement.  His background and deep cultural understanding make him a compassionate advocate for those navigating the challenges of resettlement.  Amir's work reflects a strong commitment to inclusion, opportunity and building a brighter future for all.

Rotary International Foundation Update

Your commitment helps Rotary members around the world create lasting, meaningful change - one project, one vaccine, one community at a time.

Because of donors like you, we've funded 458 district grants, 1,210 global grants, and 69 disaster response grants this year. 

These grants empower Rotary members to meet urgent needs, strengthen communities, and build a more resilient future.

And the impact doesn't stop there. In 2024 alone, more than 270 million children in 36 countries received over 1 billion doses of oral polio vaccine, thanks to the efforts of Rotary, our global partners, and supporters like you. 

Your generosity brings us closer every day to a world without polio.

Every grant awarded and every child protected are a reflection of your belief in a better world.

Happy Dollars for Polio Plus

Happy Dollars for Polio Plus
Thanks to everyone who contributed toward eradicating polio around the world.  This important work continues yet today.

Quote of the Week

I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated.
