Thousands of women across Rotary are working tirelessly
on behalf of
others, touching lives around the world.
For International Women’s Day, 8
March,
we profile a few outstanding members
who are working in child and
maternal health,
economic development, and other humanitarian concerns
Carolyn Jones
Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Rotary Club of Anchorage
East
The first woman to
serve as a Rotary Foundation trustee,
three of them
as a preschool teacher for
developmentally delayed children in orphanages.
But
her volunteer efforts have taken her elsewhere as well:
"In the 27 years
that I've been a Rotarian,
I've administered polio drops in India, planted
trees in Brazil,
promoted microcredit in Costa Rica,
and delivered baby formula
in Uganda," Jones says
Fary Moini
San Diego, California, USA
Rotary Club of La Jolla
Golden Triangle
Over the last 10 years, Moini has taken 19 trips to Afghanistan
to
work on projects ranging from school construction
to setting up computer labs.
Her fellow Rotary members called her "inspirational"
in her
involvement in the building of a school in Jalalabad,
and in helping to provide
neonatal and midwife training
for medical professionals.
Deepa Willingham
Solvang, California, USA
Rotary Club of Santa Ynez
Valley
Willingham is founder and chair of PACE Universal
(Promise of
Assurance to Children Everywhere),
a nonprofit organization that educates girls
in the world's
poorest areas and works to prevent child trafficking.
Working
with Rotary clubs around the world,
the center she formed provides education,
microloans,
health care, clean water and sanitation,
and community
infrastructure.
"Together, we have created a site that is affecting the
lives
of 30,000 to 40,000 people," Willingham says.
Bernadette Blackstock
Franklinville, New Jersey,
USA
Rotary Club of Glassboro
Sunrise
The CEO of People for People
Foundation
, Blackstock helps
normally self-sufficient people
who have fallen on hard times to afford food,
clothing,
rent, utilities, medications, and other life necessities.
"Since
2003, our foundation has served over 10,000 families,"
Blackstock says.
Ginger Vann
Baker, Louisiana, USA
Rotary Club of Baker
With the help of her club, she
renovated a derelict school building
and worked with tutors to reach 50
students a day.
She's also passionate about workforce development in Baker,
where well-paying craftsman jobs often go unfilled.
"We're not going out
there and finding just anybody;
we're targeting the unemployed, underemployed,
and veterans," Vann says.

79% of Australian Rotary Health's currently-funded
researchers are female.
These women have made wonderful achievements
in the
world of research and beyond.
For #InternationalWomensDay we're celebrating Women in Research!
