Disaster Relief - Cyclone Idai May 2019

6330 Passport makes contribution to Cyclone Idai relief:

The Global Literacy Project has taken a little detour from the sea container loads of school supplies we usually ship and we wanted you to know.

On March 14 Cyclone Idai devastated much of central Mozambique and parts of Zimbabwe and Malawi. In addition to the growing number of dead and homes destroyed, cases of Cholera have risen from 5 on March 27 to over 1000 by April 2 and over 4700 by April 11. In addition over 700,000 Hectares of crops ready to harvest have been destroyed!

The Rotary Club of Grand Bend’s Global Literacy Committee is preparing a 40’ sea container for shipment to the Rotary Club of Donda, near Beira Mozambique. Rotary Clubs will distribute the goods to those in most need.

Here is a message from one of the students that 6330 Passport sent to RYLA....

“Thank you so much for the Invitation to the Seminar! I’m very glad that I had this opportunity, I’ve met people I wouldn’t have even had the chance to. I really feel like as a group and as the weekend moved on we grew stronger as leaders and I feel like I’ve learned more things about myself and my leadership style than I could have imagined. I’ve truly gained knowledge that will be helpful in my future including on exchange. I can’t express how glad I am that Rotary sponsored me for this weekend. Thank you!!!!
Kathryn”

Make Rotary Fit Your Life!

Members of the Provisional Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport are local people who want to make a difference in their community and the world in a way that fits within their time, talent, and finances, as well as with their family, work, and life commitments.

To facilitate this, the 6330 Passport Club conducts business electronically and offers several in-person opportunities per year. In lieu of weekly meetings, members are encouraged to engage in humanitarian service- however that works best for them! The founding principle is simple: make Rotary fit your life!

The 6330 Passport Club members are full Rotary members, with the same privileges and rights as Rotarians who are members of traditional clubs.

Membership in our club provides you with a passport to visit and work with any

other Rotary Club in the world, and to take part in activities, programs, and projects that interest and engage you. While this club is targeted at former Rotary members looking to return, young professionals, Rotaractors, Rotary Alumni, and others who find a traditional club doesn’t fit their life- anyone is welcome to apply!

Passport Clubs differ from e-clubs in that members live within a defined geographical region- in this case, District 6330.

If you think this new style of Rotary club might be a good fit for you- reach out!
