DISTRICT ROTARACT REPRESENTATIVE MESSAGE
Greetings District 7030!
We have entered the month of our District Leadership Training. This
is the first time the event will be held within our District and a packed
and rewarding programme is planned for all in attendance.
Rotaractors will be participating in a mixture of large group sessions,
specialised sessions based on your current and future role within
your clubs, as well as breakout sessions focusing on general areas of
leadership.
In October clubs submitted their first quarter reports. It was a
pleasure receiving reports from 28 out of our Districts 37 active
clubs. We are hoping that this trend continues throughout the yearand clubs continue to submit their reports. Reports do not only serve
the purpose of fulfilling an obligation to the District; it also allows
club Presidents and Directors to review their activities and identify areas for improvement and
possible best practices to be applied to future projects.
Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Rotaract Clubs of Grenada, Kingstown and Piarco (UWI).
Although the period spent on the island was short, my visit with the RC Grenada did not only include
a productive meeting with the club, but also social gatherings and an exciting hike to a beautiful
waterfall. My visit with the RC Kingstown was also enjoyable as I had an opportunity to interact with
members not only in a Rotaract environment, but also in their professional lives. Although located on
home soil, the RC Piarco (UWI) also made me feel welcomed and I encourage all clubs to continuewith the excellent work they are doing. This month I am scheduled to visit four more clubs and I am
looking forward to meeting with each of you.

ROTARY FOCUS
Rotary Foundation
At the 1917 convention, outgoing RI President
Arch C. Klumph proposed to set up an
endowment for the purpose of doing good in the
world. In 1928, it was renamed The Rotary
Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within
Rotary International.In 1929, the Foundation made
its first gift of $500 to the International Society for
Crippled Children. The organization, created by
Rotarian Edgar F. Daddy Allen, later grew into Easter Seals. When Rotary founder Paul Harris died
in 1947, contributions began pouring in to Rotary International, and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund
was created to build the Foundation.
EVOLUTION OF FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
1947: The Foundation established its first program, Fellowships for Advance Study, later known as
Ambassadorial Scholarships.

Hobbies/Interests:
Degree programme/Occupation:BSc. Management & International
Business/ Sales Supervisor at Grenada Distillers Ltd.
I joined Rotaract because
I felt that I needed to do something more meaningful with my life. My life shouldnt be just limited to
work, school (at the time) and socialization. The best way to do so was to be involved in activities that
were fulfilling, with persons of like mind. Rotaract did that for me.
My fondest moment thus far in Rotaract was
After the passing of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, this was the year I joined Rotaract, it was amazing to see the
level of volunteerism that both Rotarians and Rotaractors portrayed, and furthermore we planned and
executed Conference 2005, thereafter.
I believe that Rotaract is important because
It not only helps young people to tackle trending issues in the community but it also helps them to
improve on their professional and vocational skills. I have watched persons grow from being shy at doing
presentations to being very comfortable with public speaking after.

more. When I joined the Rotaract Club of Mount Hope, my hunger for Rotaract was satisfied and I know
that I am making a difference with every project we undertake.
My fondest moment thus far in Rotaract was
My first visit to the Wendy Fitzwilliam Paediatric Hospital and the Keeping Families Together Longer
Nursing Home and Activity Center. When I saw how my club and I brightened these peoples day I felt on

build deeper relationships with the people around me.

acceptance and inclusion of people with Down Syndrome as well as people of all abilities in society.

Rotaract Club of Barbados West participates in the
2014 International Coastal Clean-up
On September 20th, 2014, members of our club participated in the 2014 International Coastal
Cleanup hosted by the Caribbean Youth Environment Network Barbados Chapter. The International
Coastal Cleanup is the largest volunteer effort to cleanup waterways and the ocean
(http://www.oceanconservancy.org/our-work/marine-debris/ ). The Rotaract Club of Barbados West
joined in this initiative because we collectively saw the need to ensure that our coasts were clean and
safe for the marine life, residents and tourists. Participants had an option to join groups at 9 different
beaches across Barbados. We chose the lovely Batts Rock beach, located in Black Rock, St. Michael
(West).
The Community Services Committee spearheaded this activity along with members of the Club.
Members arrived suited in white club t-shirts and armed with the spirit of charity and hard work. The
cleanup was indeed a success and we are all looking forward to the 2015 International Coastal
Cleanup!

World Polio Day Awareness 2014
On World Polio Day, October 24, the International Service avenue of the Rotaract Club of F.R.E.S.H.
initiated an End Polio Awareness project. With this project we wanted to stimulate as many Rotaract
clubs and people all over the world to donate to the End Polio Now website.
First we made our own End Polio flyer which consisted of our logo. Secondly an awareness
presentation about Polio was made, indicating what polio really is, where it comes from, how it can be
spread, the risk factors of an infected person, where it still exists, what we can do to prevent it and to
visit the End Polio Now website. We also made a group photo in the colors of End Polio Now (red,
yellow and white) with the, we are this close to ending Polio sign.
We asked several Rotaract clubs to join us in this awareness project by sending our flyer and
presentation, with the attention to present this to their Club and distribute and share our flyer through
all sorts of media, such as Whatsapp, Twitter and Facebook. The responses of the Rotaract Clubs and
people were very positive.

ROTARACT CLUB OF MOUNT HOPE
Community Service Project, Rotaract Club of Mount Hope
The Rotaract Club of Mount Hope recognizes
the importance of the motto Fellowship
through Service and as such, has dedicated a
great deal of club resources to serving the
community. The club has embarked upon a
drive to bring friendship and goodwill to the
most vulnerable of our societythe young and
the elderly.
Ms. Devika Poonwassie, DirectorCommunity
Service for the year 2013/2014, spearheaded
an initiative to encourage Rotaractors to engage with the elderly and children in their environment.
This community service project, which began in March, sought to reach out to individuals in need
within the population. It began with visits to geriatric homes in the districts of Trincity and Valsayn
and visits to the four paediatric wards at the Wendy Fitzwilliam Paediatric Hospital, Mt. Hope.
Rotaractors on their visits to the geriatric institutions interacted with the residents through song,
dance and some good ole chit-chat. The female residents also had the opportunity to have their
nails manicured. Our Rotaractors truly believe that spending time with the elderly had a great impact
on them as the advice given to them by these stalwarts of society was invaluable. In addition to this,
Rotaractors found that the visits to the paediatric wards where they interacted with the children
proved to be a rewarding experience. They spoke of the perseverance and happiness demonstrated
by the children despite their illnesses and how this encouraged club members to always be positiveregardless of their situation.

ROTARACT CLUB OF PARAMARIBO
Get your healthy groove on with some music, Sickle Cell Awareness
Part One
The weekend of 13 - 14 September 2014 was marked by creating awareness of Sickle Cell condition
in Suriname. The first finance project was an aerobathon held on the 13th September. Besides raising
awareness, the Rotaract Club Paramaribo wanted to contribute further to a healthy Suriname. The
aerobathon was held in the parking lot of the Courtyard Marriott. The first part of this event was
hosted by the B-Fit Gym with some exercise routines using Zumba. It was then time for some
kickboxing hosted by the Titans Gym. A DJ kept the audience entertained and engaged with a variety
of music. The audience ranged between the ages of 12 60 years old. The Rotaractors of RCP and
Fresh were also swinging and participated in all activities. This was despite lots of them not being as
flexible as most of the audience. Every participant received an apple and a bottle of water as gifts to
highlight healthier food choices.
During this project, attendees were able to have tests done to measure their blood pressure and
diabetes level. The sickle cell information booth provided the attendees with useful information
about sickle cell in Suriname. Thanks to the Marriott and our biggest sponsor, Grassalco, we had a
very successful project. We danced and sweated for a healthy and sickle cell conscious Suriname.

Gisteren, morgen en vandaag
So do you remember the Palmentuin (Palm Garden) from Conference 2014? It is almost the
backyard of our very own White House the Presidential Palace. The Rotaract Club Paramaribo
organized this project with a school at both locations. It was on August 1st 2014 when we executed
this project. We wanted to educate the students and make them knowledgeable about the historysurrounding these 2 places especially if they didnt know anything about them as yet. The average
citizen cant just walk up and go into the Presidential Palace. You have tobe invited. The club took
about 25 children to these two historical places, where we got a guided tour and could ask all the
questions we wanted. We even got catered food and drinks.
The Palmentuin(Palm Garden) was our second and final stop. Rotarians, Rotaract members,
prospective members, teachers and the students danced, played and of course ate and drank yet
again! It was a very meaningful community service project. Everybody involved got an idea of what
happened hundreds of years ago and up to the present. So now we know that if we study our past, wecan define our future. We know that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift.

ROTARACT CLUB OF POINTE-A-PITRE
Pink October - Fighting against Breast Cancer with Selfie Beauty
In October 2014, in Guadeloupe, there is an ongoing campaign against Breast Cancer.
Vanessa Foy, a fellow Rotaractor and owner of the beauty shop "Selfie Beauty", came with the idea of
"No Make Up Selfie Challenge in order to take part of this awareness campaign in an original
manner, in partnership with Rotaract Club of Pointe--Pitre and the League Against Cancer -
Guadeloupe Committee.
It is a viral project that met an extraordinary infatuation on the web.
In March 2014, a young English girl has set the challenge via social networks to post a natural picture
with no makeup on, to contribute to the fight against Breast Cancer. The infatuation was immediate, to
the point that the current biggest stars align themselves to the cause.
Accept the view of oneself and be able to look back in the mirror is already a first victory over the
disease. A great opportunity to educate the people in Guadeloupe regarding cancer and to create a
solidarity spirit by encouraging them to donate to the League Against Cancer - Guadeloupe
Committee.
Together against Breast Cancer because we are stronger together!
