Last week's actions

Last Week we learned about an exciting Rotary scholarship project called Rise!

This is a dynamic, live 20-minute presentation addressing important topics like widespread illiteracy and rising migration rates in Guatemala, and how providing scholarships to the poorest children in the hemisphere is the key to lasting change.

If your Club or members are interested in supporting the GLP through Rise scholarships, you can:
