Our club is the International Partner for a COVID ICU Rotary International Grant with Mirzapur-Elite, a club in India,. As the international partners, we signed RI papers for them to complete their application and help track the project. Their district financed the Medical Unit so our club fulfilled the international partner role. They built this Covid ICU unit in a small village that didn’t have adequate medical facilities. It has enabled this village to treat critically ill people right there in familiar surroundings and to save lives. It’s amazing to know that through Rotary International we were able, in our own small way, to make something wonderful like this happen. A great example of Rotary in Action.

The 40-year-old Australian actress, Rebel Wilson, appeared on "Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire" and was raising money for the charity of her choice -- School of St. Jude in Arusha, Tanzania. Rebel served as an ambassador and once sponsored a student. She won a total of $250,000 and donated her entire winnings to the School of St. Jude. Very exciting news for St. Judes.
