“Rotary opened my eyes to the many needs that we have within our communities. I met other Rotarians who, through their businesses and many business associates, engage in initiatives to uplift and assist the less fortunate. Furthermore, through Rotary International, we are able to appeal to Rotarians and Rotary clubs worldwide to support the many upliftment projects that we embark on locally.
Campbell said he is happy to have an amazing group of very active and very ambitious Rotarians who are very committed to assist the less fortunate and undertake initiatives to uplift local communities.
The primary projects that the club will continue to focus on include:
1 000 Survival Gardens Project
This project entails supplying households and communities with gardening equipment and seeds to grow their own vegetables and fruit to feed their families in a dignified and sustainable manner.
