The meeting starts at 7:00am with breakfast and camaraderie; the formal program starts at 7:30am.
Meeting basic human needs is a struggle in many parts of the world, and there are a variety of organizations, including Rotary, which continue to tackle these challenges.
Children of the Nations (COTN®) is one of these.
Their website tells us that “Children of the Nations emphasizes holistic care, addressing physical, spiritual, social, and mental growth in all our children. We seek to create an environment that meets the child’s basic needs, encourages their individual desires and passions, and promotes excellence in achievement.”
While this mission seems simple enough, it entails a great deal of work and commitment. Children of the Nations operates in Malawi, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Advocate Jim Barker will tell us about all that they do. Bring a friend with you, and come hear how Children of the Nations works.
