Published 8:01 pm Thursday, March 16, 2017
Rotary is partnering with other service organizations to inspire volunteers around the world to participate in an International Week of Service, March 25-31. An example would be Korean and Mongolian Rotarians working together to “Keep Mongolia Green,” in a project designed to counter desertification and erosion caused by in part by overgrazing of livestock in Mongolia. The five-year project involves planting more than 250,000 trees, building infrastructure and providing training for local farmers. Each year, Rotary members around the world log 16 million volunteer hours in projects on an international scale and in their own backyards. We Rotarians are committed to doing good in the world.
