Charter Week for Rotaract Club

16.MAR.07

The Rotaract Club of Kingstown is celebrating 21 years of existence.

“Fellowship through service” is the guiding statement of the organization and true to its motto, it has striven over the years to meet the needs of the Vincentian community through a wide range of activities.

Active in communities spanning the length and breath of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines, some of the projects that spring instantly to mind: feeding of the homeless, the annual Secondary Schools Spelling B competition, assisting children who have been abandoned by their parents, providing lunches to shut-ins including persons at the Louis Punnett home and rebuilding the homes of several elderly persons who lost their houses under unfortunate circumstances.{{more}}
