Seven cadre leaders from The Rotary Foundation talked through the seven areas of focus of Rotary during the third day of the International Rotaract Summit (IRS) 2023, January 14.
The second training session of IRS 2023, which was called “Advocacy-building Session,” concentrated on teaching the delegates from various districts across the Asia-Pacific region on the central information about the main causes of Rotary International. This session aimed to edify the participating Rotaractors in preparation for their Global Grant application initiative. Rotaract clubs starting last year have already been granted to apply for this grant, as stated in the Rotary policy updates.
The technical advisers from The Rotary Foundation who have shared information were: Rebecca Pursche for Peace and Conflict Resolution; Patricia Flores for Disease Prevention and Treatment; Frederick Muyodi for Water Sanitation and Hygiene; Brenda Anena for Maternal and Child Health; Denise Creisson for Basic Education and Literacy; Nesta Hatendi for Community Economic Development, and; Jay Colingham for Environment.
During this session, the Rotaract Club of Metro Sorsogon, headed by President Mariel Encinares, was the main host of the event, together with other clubs like Rotaract Club of Lucena South, Rotaract Club of Cosmopolitan City of San Pedro, and Rotaract Club of Tanauan.
On the following day, the delegates finalized what causes would they choose to create a community service project proposal aligned with the 7 areas of focus.
