On Sunday 26^th August the VTT/GSE team heads out for a month long exchange to District 5370 in Northwestern Canada.  The team has a vocational focus on youth education.  On the Friday prior to departing the team had the opportunity to visit the Minister of Education, the Right Honorable Hekia Parata at Parliament.

Hekia showed a keen interest in what the team will be doing in Canada and is interested to hear about their learning’s when they return.  They had a good discussion on various aspects of New Zealand education and issues of the day.

We wish the team well for their travels and look forward to hearing of their experiences when they return.

What others are saying about Rotary

“Rotary has the ability to organize campaigns to mobilize support for some of the worthiest causes that exist, and that makes Rotary a precious resource.”

– Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General

“Rotary’s PolioPlus program is a shining example of the achievements made possible by cooperation between the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations.”

“I admire the Rotary promise to solve problems that destroy lives and trample dreams and human potential.”

–Queen Noor al-Hussein of Jordan

“Through my contact with Rotary, I learned about the importance of community service. The Rotary motto of Service Above Self has left a deep impression and has guided me since. I would like to express my profound gratitude to The Rotary Foundation for having given me that unique opportunity and a solid foundation that eventually led me to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, a global service organization to protect those fleeing from armed conflict and persecution.”

– Sadako Ogata, Japanese prime minister’s special representative for assistance to Afghanistan

A profile deserving promotion

Rotary has much to be proud of and the mission to remove Polio from our planet is almost a reality.  Do share.

The Swimarathon is happening again Feb 23 2013 - let's make this an even greater event to have fun, raise the profile of Rotary and our fight against polio and to gather more funds to contribute to the cause.
