Giving that transforms lives.

WORDS Avneet Kaur Bhasin. Rotary Foundation Donor Services Specialist.

It’s all set up online, it’s super easy. And though we don’t see it, we know it’s going to do good.”

In a world full of causes, The Rotary Foundation stands out – not just for what it does, but for how deeply it changes lives. From eradicating polio to empowering women, from building peace to providing clean water, the Foundation’s work touches every corner of the globe.

But behind every successful project is a donor who believed in the power of service – and gave.

Once again we gathered at the Sandringham Yacht Club for a dinner to celebrate the festive season.
Everyone who attended, some 28 members and guests, enjoyed the sumptuous meal and great fellowship. Thanks to Linda who helped organise and provided the beautiful table decorations.
