The Rotary Club of Kigali Golf is passionate
about more than just hitting the links. Within
months of its formation, the club began supporting
programs to foster entrepreneurship within the deaf
community and other underrepresented groups. In November the club delivered more than a
dozen sewing, knitting, and textile heat-press machines to the Rwanda National Union of the
Deaf and to Empower the Future, an organization supporting mothers of former street children.
The equipment, valued at about $8,500, was paid for with member donations as well as a golf
tournament (naturally). "We look forward to building a long-term partnership with the Rwanda
Union of the Deaf, Empower the Future, and other organizations supporting marginalized
communities," says Tabvi "Mellow" Motsi, a member of the club's public relations committee.

In March, the largest wildfires in Korea's history
swept across the country's southeast, scorching nearly
120,000 acres and forcing more than 37,000 people to
evacuate. Rotary districts swiftly assessed the needs
and delivered food, water, hygiene kits, and other essential supplies to shelters and affected
communities. Rotarians were able to reach even more people in need through $100,000 in
funding from The Rotary Foundation. Rotary members also assisted with clearing orchards and
with home demolition in devastated areas. Some even provided heavy equipment, including to
assist with reconstruction of the historic Gounsa temple in Uiseong. "Disasters like these strike
without warning," says Ung Seop Jeong, immediate past governor of District 3590. "No one is
truly prepared, but Rotary is always there for the community."
