Service
|
Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Service programmes address issues such as healthcare, hunger, poverty, literacy and the environment. Rotarians experience the fulfilment that comes from giving back to the community. There are also opportunities to serve the club by becoming a project lead or club officer.
Rotary was founded on fellowship, a cornerstone that continues to attract members today. Club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world. Rotary sponsors some of the world's largest exchange and educational programmes. Our club provides innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involves family members in a wide range of social and service activities. Team-building, fundraising, public speaking, planning, organisation, and communication are just some of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in motivating, inspiring and guiding others. |
