Helping Hands for Rotary Service Projects
Whether digging water wells in a remote region
of Africa or escorting a community senior
citizens group on an afternoon outing, Rotarians
are volunteering their time and expertise to
make this world a better place to live through
the Rotary Volunteers program. Through a
district and club committee structure, this
program matches Rotarian volunteers to projects
that can benefit from them.
Each of us has special skills that can benefit a
Rotary service project in our community or in
other communities where such skills are not
readily available. Let’s lend a helping hand.
