Rotary clubs fight opioid epidemic
After months of doing research and consulting with health officials, substance abuse experts, educators, and media professionals, New York Rotary members put together a plan to fight a major U.S. problem: opioid addiction. But they needed an international partner for their Rotary Foundation global grant project. Six months of searching connected them with the Rotary Club of Tijuana Oeste, Baja California, Mexico. Clubs in Canada and India also agreed to support the project with funds. Click here to read the rest of the newsletter
Rotary Weekly 8th February 2019
Meet Pakistan’s virus hunter
Dr. Ujala Nayyar dreams, both figuratively and literally, about a world that is free from polio. Nayyar, the World Health Organization's surveillance officer in Pakistan’s Punjab province, says she often imagines the outcome of her work in her sleep. In her waking life, she leads a team of health workers who crisscross Punjab to hunt down every potential incidence of poliovirus, testing sewage and investigating any reports of paralysis that might be polio.

These are often quiet achievers who never stand in the limelight, but are steadfast, reliable young students who are loyal and supportive of friends and peers.
We are not looking for either high achievers or teenagers with behavioral problems.

RYPEN runs from a Friday evening to the following Sunday afternoon.

Rotary Service and Engagement February 2019
Sparking peace in your community 
Each day, conflict and persecution drive 44,400 people worldwide from their homes, according to UNHCR figures. Rotary’s service projects, scholarships, and peace fellowships take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, which include poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. 

During February, Rotary Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month, think about service projects that can build peace and mitigate conflict. Rotary has many resources to get you started. Click here to read the newsletter
