Rotary changes lives all over the world
Rotary clubs are having a tremendous impact on communities around the world. In southwest Uganda, Rotary members from Europe, Uganda, and the United States have teamed up with a pioneering doctor and two private entrepreneurs to address the needs of the Batwa Pygmies. Together, they’ve opened a nursing school to train badly needed caregivers for the entire region.

Planting a million trees in Sri Lanka
On 26 December 2004, a tsunami slammed into Gowri Rajan’s house on the coast of Sri Lanka, destroying everything inside and sweeping Rajan toward the ocean. She survived by grabbing on to a tree, one of the few left standing. Recently Rajan and other Sri Lankan Rotary members started the One Million Tree Stories project, which is raising money to plant trees in areas stripped of forestation in the disaster.
