International Service

The goal of International Service is to help people in other lands, and advance international understanding, goodwill, and peace.

International service takes on a number of different forms, but projects are designed to meet the humanitarian needs of people in many lands, with particular emphasis on the most underprivileged children and families in developing countries.

 

In 2025, the Rotary Club of Edson donated a school bus that went to Cernavaca, Mexico to aid kids in getting to school and to other appointments and programs in the surrounding area.
