I LOVE NEPAL!

This is a photo presentation of my experience in the Rotary GSE program during our visit to the beautiful country of Nepal. Just watching this, makes me want to be back there. I miss it and my wonderful friends over there very much. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.

The Rotary Foundation is a non-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends, who share its vision of a better world.

The Foundation's mission is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
