"Fellowship Through Service"

There is an alarming level of hopelessness among our Jamaican people, there is no belief that things will ever get better, and we often fall prey to this attitude. We fail to see ourselves as the agents of change, we fail to embrace the impact that our Inner-City Art Competition has, or the Inter-Home Spelling Bee Competition or any of our other community service projects have, by giving hope…..it was Napoleon Bonaparte who said and I quote “leaders are dealers in hope” As Rotaractors and by extension the leaders of the not too far tomorrow we must be dealers in hope! ----- Pres. Andrew Evans

Rotaract Club hosts Free Heath Fair for South East St. Andrew Communities

Kingston, Jamaica – October 11, 2009: Rotaract Club of Kingston (RCOK) is for the 6th year, hosting its annual HIV/ AIDS Awareness Seminar & Health Fair in partnership with the CHASE Fund. The fair, under the theme ‘Test, Listen, Learn”, is free to the public and will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2009 on the grounds of Excelsior High School between 9am and 4pm.

This year’s fair will feature HIV screening and will offer services that include Diabetes tests, Pap Smears, Dental Services and General Check-ups. Counselors will also be on hand to offer professional advice on Family Planning, coping with HIV/AIDS and HIV/AIDS Prevention.

RCOK believe that hosting such an event, will assist us to engender changes in the behavioural practices of individuals that will lead to a generally healthier Jamaica.

“We’re encouraging everyone to come out for free testing and counseling” says RCOK president Andrew Evans. “Wellness is not a subject to be taken lightly, and we urge the public to take advantage of this opportunity to re-enforce their health status, receive services from trained professionals and gain peace of mind.”

We look forward to seeing you there.

Project Management Seminar

The Rotaract Project Management Seminar was held at the Hilton Kingston on September 26, 2009. The aim of the seminar was to develop the skills of young professionals in successfully planning, implementing and completing projects.

The event was the brainchild of Rotaract Club of Kingston’s own Nicole Goodin (Dir – Professional Service 2009/10), however it was moved that an event such as this be a District-wide project. It was at this point that the Rotaract Clubs of New Kingston, St Andrew and Liguanea Plains were invited to participate in the planning and execution of the event. An open invitation was issued to members and guests of Rotaract Clubs across District 7020. There were members and visitors in attendance from the following clubs:

Back to School Project

Once again another Home was chosen to receive educational assistance for children going back to school. The Church of God Girls Home was selected and the proceeds from Seh Sup’m fundraiser provided:-

- Three girls entering grades 8-10 with text books; and

- Six girls with school shoes and socks for the upcoming school year

It Was My First

It was my first “Seh Sup’m” event so I didn’t know what quite to expect. A fledging poet myself I had visions of a smoke filled room, rhythmic drum beats and afro-centric poets with words sounding like dripping honey. What can I say? The room wasn’t smoke-filled, but I got a lot more than I bargained for.
