So much good work is taking place around the world... and Rotarians are behind a lot of it!
There are so many great service projects happening right now around the globe -- here's a sampling of Rotary In Action.

They set up computers with the Rosetta Stone language software, and so far the program has helped 172 refugees learn English and local governments are considering expanding it.
