Some Jamaicans kept the the tradition of going to work on Labour Day by helping to give Jamaica a facelift, painting and doing repairs to Public buildings, roads, their offices, homes and more.

Kudos to all who could have used it as a rest day but decided to take on the manual labour.

Out of the many great Projects that Suga saw happening on that day, Suga would like to highlight the Repainting of parts of the Savanna-la-Mar Hospital by the Rotaract Club of Savanna-la-Mar and the Repainting of a Pedestrian crossing that was a joint project between the Rotaract Clubs of St. Andrew, Liguanea Plains, St. Thomas and New Kingston.

Sometimes Jamaicans may see Pedestrian crossings and still choose to cross the road at another point and put themselves in danger.

Hopefully the brighter Pedestrian crossings as a result of the work done on Labour Day will remind Jamaicans that they should cross there.

Remember to do your part to help Build a Better Jamaica.

TBT to Rotaract Club of Kingston’s Partnership Project with Every Mikkle Jamaica!

Rotary and partners in Rotary, Rotaract, serve their communities wherever they see a void and opportunity for improvement. They also help with developing young minds and develop their own members personally and professionally as well.

Every Mikkle Jamaica is another non-profit organization that creates positive memories for Jamaica’s Orphaned and at-risk children.

The Rotaract Club of Kingston partnered with Every Mikkle Jamaica and visited the National Children’s Home in Papine during World Rotaract Week in March of this year.

They interacted with the kids, assisted with repairs to their Chicken coop, donated 100 baby chicks and stationery.

It’s Water and Sanitation Month for Rotary

Screenshot_2016-03-16-14-17-27-1-1

March is recognized as Water and Sanitation Month by Rotary. Rotaractors and Rotarians worldwide are motivated to build wells, install water tanks and assist in providing clean water for children and families, as at least 3000 children die each day from preventable waterborne diseases.

The Rotaract Club of Nassau Sunset in the Bahamas currently has a Water Bottle Project where they provide reusable water bottles to students of Willard Patton Preschool encouraging them to drink and take clean water to school each day. The project also reduces plastic bottle waste, as the bottles are reusable.

The Rotaract Club of Nassau Sunset is about $150US away from their goal. Help them to donate reusable Bottles to Willard Patton Preschool Students.
