May is Rotary Youth Service Month, and we are incredibly proud to see our Global Action member, Shoki Wafula, featured in the latest issue of the Rotary International Magazine!
ug is the founder of the Rotaract Club for Global Action (RCTGA), and his vision for youth-led service is inspiring a new generation of changemakers around the world.

Here’s what Shoki shared about his initiative:

“This May, we celebrate the power of young people! It’s the perfect time to support mission-driven, cause-based Rotaract clubs that empower emerging leaders. Our international e-club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Auckland, New Zealand, redefines the experience with a membership-centered, cause-based approach.

We believe meaningful service begins with empowered members. By prioritizing the personal and professional development of our young leaders first, we equip them to drive sustainable global change. From peace festivals in Uganda to youth-led investment funds, our diverse community across Africa, Asia, and beyond is building a space where every young person belongs.

Join us in shaping a future where youth leadership isn’t just a goal — it’s our foundation. Let’s lead, grow, and serve together!”

We are so proud of you, Shoki. Your initiative is already inspiring more Rotarians around the world to invest in and support youth-led service. 🌍✨

Our latest meeting centered on a presentation by Dr. Michael Roman about climate change impacts in Kiribati, a small Pacific island nation facing potential submersion due to rising sea levels.

Michael shared his 26-year connection with Kiribati through Peace Corps service and subsequent academic work on climate migration, including his role as a “fixer” for documentary films about the island nation’s challenges. The presentation included readings from his book manuscript and discussion of his social media campaign “Humans of Kiribati” which helped raise global awareness about climate impacts in the region.

This year’s Earth Day Global Cleanup has been nothing short of incredible.

What started as a simple idea — “Let’s do it again for Earth Day” — quickly grew into something much bigger.

Across our RCGA network and beyond, members, partners, and communities came together to care for the places that matter most to them.

But beyond the numbers, what stands out most is the spirit behind this initiative.

We saw members invite friends, families, and colleagues to join them. We saw new communities engaged. We saw Rotaract clubs leading the way and building early momentum. And we saw what’s possible when ownership is shared and action is made simple.

This wasn’t about one centralized event — it was about many small moments of care happening across the world, all at once.

Together, those moments created cleaner environments, stronger community connections, and a visible expression of Rotary’s commitment to protecting our planet.

This year, we didn’t just participate in Earth Day — we showed up for it.

To everyone who organized, participated, invited others, and shared their impact: thank you. This success belongs to all of you.

And perhaps most importantly — this doesn’t have to end here.

Small actions, when shared, create big impact. 🌿

To celebrate our campaign to bring clean water to farmers in Dumas, Haiti, , Haitian filmmaker and Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club for Global Action (RCGA), brought together talented Haitian artists and Bennchoumy to create an original song, produced by .
The song, Dlo Se La Vi (Water Is Life), is a powerful reminder that water is the foundation of sustainability, growth, and survival.
Through this campaign, RCGA is partnering with Dr. Junior, Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club of Cap-Haïtien, to install a submersible pump and artesian well system. This project will provide reliable irrigation for local farmers, transforming agricultural production, strengthening food security, and increasing family incomes.
This isn’t just about installing a pump.
It’s about restoring dignity, stability, and opportunity.
Join us in making a lasting impact.
