A Worldly Reach - I just recently befriended a Rotaractor from Ghana on Facebook. She is 18 and in her words in a message to me "I want to become one of the best Rotarian in the nearest future." This is great that at 18 she is so involved with Rotary and believes in it's mission. Growing up, I was never priveleged enough to be exposed to other cultures from around the world. Sure, you learned about other cultures in school but you never really got the interact with kids from different parts of the country. One of the cool things about Rotary is that it has such a wordly reach. Since I have been in our club, every year we have gotten the chance to meet future District Govenors from around the world; and we have an exchange student every year. Connecting with other Rotarians around the world thru Social Media is just one more way we can connect with each other and I am looking forward to making many more friends around the world!
There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.http://rotary.org/en/AboutUs/RotaryInternational/Pages/ridefault.aspx
