Projects
Undertaken By The Rotaract Club |
One
of the primary goals of Rotaract clubs is to provide service both
locally and internationally.
Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have a variety of
programs, activities and emphases to support the efforts of both
Rotary and Rotaract clubs in developing their service projects.
The following section details Rotary International and Rotary Foundation
programs, projects and emphases and explains how your Rotaract club
can obtain additional information. |
A
I D S Awareness |
The Rotary International(RI) Board encourages Rotary clubs to
work with governmental health agencies and non-governmental organizations
to increase awareness among their membership and the broader community
about AIDS education and prevention. Rotary clubs have been asked
by the Board to use United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
materials in expanding collaborative activities with Rotaractors
and Interactors.
Rotaractors are the key leaders in enhancing AIDS awareness among
their peers, working within cultural and community sensitivities.

Children
At Risk |
| Recognizing that children are an especially
vulnerable population and need special care and protection, RI’s
Children at Risk emphasis encourages clubs to undertake projects
to alleviate the hardships suffered by children living in exceptionally
difficult conditions in order to enable them to grow into adulthood
in an environment of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom and equality.
This emphasis is an extension of RI’s endorsement and support
of the rights of all children to food, shelter, health care, education
and freedom from abuse and violence, regardless of race, creed or
nationality.
Service projects encompassed by the Children at Risk emphasis focus
on hunger, literacy and primary education, health care and immunization,
safe communities and schools, drug and alcohol abuse prevention,
alleviating homelessness and promoting stable and nurturing homes. |
Concern
For Aging |
As people’s life expectancy expands,
concern for the aging is a growing need in many communities. This
Community Service activity is designed to encourage Rotary and Rotaract
clubs to undertake projects that respond to the social, physical,
vocational, and educational needs of senior citizens.
Concern for the aging projects incorporate senior citizens into
community activities and help break down generational barriers. |
Drug
and Alcohol Abuse Prevention |
| Through its emphasis on drug and alcohol
abuse prevention, RI is drawing attention to a problem of global
proportions. Rotary and Rotaract clubs are encouraged to undertake
service projects that help reduce substance abuse in the community,
particularly through educational programs on the dangers of drug
and alcohol abuse.
Given the importance of addressing this problem to the nation as
early as possible, Rotaractors are in an ideal position - both to
influence younger children and their peers with respect to this
issue. |
Rotary
Volunteers Program |
| The Rotary Volunteers
program links Rotarians, Rotaractors, Rotary Foundation scholars,
and non-Rotarians with exciting volunteer opportunities in
community and international service projects.
The Rotary Volunteers program is designed to create greater awareness
among Rotarians/Rotaractors of volunteer opportunities within their
own and other communities, provide expertise or skills not available
within the community to service projects, and increase and facilitate
participation in all types of volunteer activities. |
| "The youth
of today are the leaders of tomorrow" stated Pandit Nehru.
It is this goal that the Rotaract Club Of CEG endeavors to achieve
and which aptly applies to its motto :
"
BE A PART OF THE REVOLUTION !!! " |
