Service Above Self – Making a Difference

Editor – PP Geoff Horvath

Making schools healthy: Rotarians are providing
clean, fresh water to every public school in Lebanon sostudents can be healthier and get a better education.
Enhancing educational systems: In Kenya, Rotary
clubs are working with the Global Partnership for
Education and local and national governments toadvance life-long learning opportunities for poor andmarginalized children.

Rotary members make amazing things happen,
like:
Opening schools: In Afghanistan, Rotary members
opened a girls’ school to break the cycle of poverty
and social imbalance.
Teaching adults to read: Rotary
members in theUnited States partnered with ProLiteracy Detroit to
recruit and train tutors after a study showed that morethan half of the local adult population was functionallyilliterate.
New teaching methods: The SOUNS program in SouthAfrica, Puerto Rico and the United States teaches
educators how to improve literacy by teaching children
to recognize letters by sounds instead of names.

You are such an important part of saving lives with us. I
wanted to let you know of temporary operationalchanges that will be affecting our bloodcollection. Faced with staffing challenges that manyindustries and organizations are experiencing in thecurrent environment, we are temporarily modifying ouroperations by pausing the scheduling of any
community-hosted blood drives by Lifesaver Clubs(LSCs) and collections at our Windward Mall location
now through October 31, 2021. This will include ourHilo drive later this month and Kona in October. Our
goal is to resume our normal operations in November,and we will keep you informed as soon as a restartdate is confirmed.
This pause will allow us to ensure our donors receive
the highest standard of care and attention while we
maintain healthy standards for our teams. However, italso means that we will be relying on our three Oahu
donation sites to supply blood for the ENTIRE
state. Hours and operations at our three main donor
centers remain the same. We ask you to please
