Rotary Peace Centers
Making Peace a Reality
Rotary created the Rotary Peace Centers in 2002 toidentify and train highly qualified professionals tobecome agents of peace. ... They promote national
and international cooperation, peace, and thesuccessful resolution of conflict in their lives, in theircareers, and through their service activities.

Creating peace in the world
An ambitious goal,
put into action by Rotary

Rotary Peace Fellows are committed to theadvancement of peace, serving as leaders in a range
of international, national, and local organizations. They
promote national and international cooperation,
peace, and the successful resolution of conflict in theirlives, in their careers, and through their serviceactivities.
The Rotary Peace Centers program is made possiblethrough the generous support of a relatively small
group of Rotarians and friends of Rotary whose major
gifts and commitments will help endow the program. A
goal of $150 million in gifts and commitments by 30
June 2017 will ensure the long-term success of theprogram.

The spike in regional and local conflicts around theworld has underscored the need for professionals
skilled in creating peace. Rotary created the Rotary
Peace Centers in 2002 to identify and train highly
qualified professionals to become agents of peace. Six
Rotary Peace Centers at seven prestigious universitiesthroughout the world offer Rotary Peace Fellows arigorous program of study and applied field
experience in areas relating to peace and conflict
resolution. The Rotary Peace Centers draw from
Rotary’s long, unwavering commitment to peace, seenin projects that address the root causes of conflict.
Rotary’s 70-year collaboration with the United Nations
and Rotary’s peace symposiums and peace forums
throughout the world further the cause of peace.

ROTARY PEACE CENTERS
Rotary Peace Fellows study at Rotary Peace Centers
located in countries other than their own. Through arigorous program of academic study and practicaltraining, the Rotary Peace Centers develop leaders
who become catalysts for peace and conflict resolution
in their communities and around the globe. The
program relies on Rotarians to help identify potential
candidates, with a goal of selecting approximately 50
master’s degree fellows and 50 professional
development certificate fellows each year.
The Rotary Peace Centers operate in partnership withseven premier institutions of higher learning. These
institutions have changed as the program has evolved.

One of the newer programs in Rotary's panoply ofworldwide service activities and projects is the Rotary
Village (Community) Corps. This new form of grassroots
self-help service was initiated by R.I. President M.A.T.
Caparas in 1986 as a means of improving the qualityof life in villages, neighborhoods and communities.
Frequently there is an abundance of available labor,
but no process to mobilize men and women to conduct
useful projects of community improvement. The Rotary
Village Corps--or Rotary Community Corps as they arecalled in industrialized countries--is a Rotary clubsponsored group of non- Rotarians who desire to help
their own community by conducting a specificimprovement project.

The Rotary members provide the guidance,encouragement, organizational structure and some ofRotary – 114 Years of Service to the World!

the material assistance for the Rotary Village Corps,
which in turn contributes the manpower to help theirown community. Thus, the Rotary Village Corps
provides a totally new process for Rotarians to serve incommunities of great need. Rotary Community Corps
have been organized mainly in depressed ghetto
areas of major cities where groups of individuals need
the organizational and managerial skills of Rotarians
to undertake valuable self-help community projects.
The Rotary Village Corps program offers a totally new
dimension to the concept of service to improve thequality of life.

Answer to this week’s Question:
1927
Kool-Aid (first known as Kool-Ade) was inventedby Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska. All of his
experiments took place in his mother's kitchen. Its
predecessor was a liquid concentrate called Fruit
Smack. To reduce shipping costs, in 1927, Perkins
discovered a way to remove the liquid from Fruit
Smack, leaving only a powder; This powder wasnamed Kool-Aid. Perkins moved his production toChicago in 1931 and Kool-Aid was sold to General
Foods in 1953. Hastings still celebrates a yearlysummer festival called Kool-Aid Days on the second
weekend in August, in honor of their city's claim tofame. Kool-Aid is known as Nebraska’s official softdrink.
