Is Cuba Ready for Rotary?

The Update

 

Merna Gil

Monday night CIRC welcome’s back our friend Merna Gil who will provide updates on life in Cuba and the results of her trip there last month.  During her April visit, Merna’s group focused on small business development activites and enhancing the educational experience of students in privately owned Montessori preschools in Havana.

 Merna Gil has been an educator, mentor and advisor to both young and old her entire life.  With 45 years of experience as a teacher, education – both formal and informal – is her passion.  After retiring, Merna joined Rotary in 2017, with a mission to help enlighten student youth groups, leading to the creation of “Best Practices” for working with students and sponsoring clubs to help create a positive impact in their lives.  Much of Merna’s recent focus has been on providing humanitarian services to here beloved friends in Cuba.

Please help Valencia achieve her dream, DONATE NOW!

Hello there! My name is Valencia Vang, and I am an early graduate from a high school in North Carolina. I am a Hmong American, and I have been selected to participate in RYE: Rotary Youth Exchange program in Brazil.
 
During my stay in Brazil, I plan to learn Portuguese and become fluent in the language. I also hope to try new foods, immerse myself in a different culture, and make as many friends as possible. However, I won’t be just vacationing there. I will be attending school and participating in community service projects in the area where I will be staying.
 
Unfortunately, the program is quite expensive, and my family and I are unable to afford it. The entire cost of the program is around $5,000-$10,000. Therefore, I am requesting your assistance to help raise funds for this opportunity. By helping me, you’ll be enabling me to experience life from a different perspective and learn to be independent as a newly legal adult.
 
As the President of an Interact Club, I want to continue making a positive impact in a different setting and community, creating new friendships, and helping those who are in need. I believe that this exchange program will allow me to make a small difference in the world.
 
Please spread the word if you can donate or know someone who might be interested in doing so (by clicking the Donate button below) to help me meet my target and enroll in this program! Any donations are welcomed and I am grateful for your assistance in helping me to accomplish my objective.
 
Thankyou so much.
