Our first month in the new Rotary year is almost finished and all members are now aware of their roles for the coming 12 months. 
 
Our club has some fantastic goals to achieve and now it is time for us all to step up and ensure we have yet another successful year in Rotary.
 
We would love to have some new members to help us work towards these goals and helping out in our community - International, National and Local.

Vincent's story
In the scenic landscapes of Sotik, Vincent, a dedicated and hardworking smallholder farmer, shines as a pillar of strength and determination. As a married man with a deep sense of responsibility, Vincent has made it his mission to provide a brighter future for his family through his agricultural endeavours.

With a few years of farming experience under his belt, Vincent has cultivated his land with care and expertise. His unwavering commitment and diligent efforts have resulted in successful harvests, ensuring a stable income for his household.

Now, Vincent seeks a loan to fulfill his utmost priority: providing a quality education for his children. The funds will be utilized to pay for their school fees, granting them access to educational opportunities that will shape their future.

Vincent's unwavering dedication to his family's well-being, coupled with his proven track record as a smallholder farmer, makes him a deserving candidate for this loan.
