Rotary changes lives because of you.

Rotary Foundation: Your best investment

The next time you’re asked to make a Rotary Foundation donation, think about 126 children who will remember Rotary and Rotoplast for the rest of their lives. This year, a Rotoplast medical team, including 10 members from Hawaii, performed 236 surgical procedures on 126 children with cleft palates in Sohag, Egypt.

This project was the brain child of Hawaii Past District Governor Ayman El Dakhakhni who participated by working 12 - 14 hrs a day. Through his vision and leadership, District 5000 stepped up to the plate and donated a total of $20,120, which was matched by Dedicated District Funds for a total project of $45,700.

The value of the surgeries and consultations: $614,485.
