From The Rotary Foundation:

A Vocational Training Team of eye surgeons traveled to Guinea, West Africa to perform much needed cataract surgeries on a trip that was coordinated with our strategic partner, Mercy Ships. While there, the team performed 65 life-changing surgeries, donated 16 ophthalmoscopes and trained 17 medical graduates. The trip had a lasting impact on those involved.  The team leader remarked how serving as a volunteer is a truly rewarding and exciting experience and one of the local eye surgeons was so moved that he is now interested in becoming a Rotarian. 

By supporting OUR Rotary Foundation, you’re able to:

·         Send volunteers with skill and expertise to part of the world in need

·         Align your project with our strategic partners for double the impact

·         Educate and train those you work with- the key to sustainability

·         Donate items that are too costly or not available in certain parts of the world

·         Inspire others to join you in Rotary- increase membership and in turn, support of YOUR Rotary Foundation

·         Provide life-changing experiences both for the volunteer and the recipient

This is a very powerful story about how your support of The Rotary Foundation can work in so many ways. I am thankful and grateful to be able to help you do this day in and day out.

Happy Foundation Month to all!
