International Service

International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. Rotarians can support International Service by sponsoring a project in another country, seeking international project partners to support projects in their own communities, or by personally volunteering at an international project site.

Examples of International Service projects our club has led:

ShelterBox:  In response to natural disasters around the globe, our club has sent life-saving ShelterBoxes to aid in the relief efforts.  We’ve helped with the earthquake in Haiti and the tsunami in Japan.

Lima, Peru:  In December 2010,  a group of Rotarians and Salinas High School Interact students traveled to Lima, Peru to work with residents to clean up an  unsafe , neglected neighborhood and build a recreation field in its place, providing youth and teens with a safe and reliable place to exercise and compete.  You can see a few photos at the Club Projects / Peru Trip page.
