Helping the poor and shelterless
In southern Mexico, migrant workers fleeing povery, civil war, and gang violence are increasingly falling victim to beatings, kidnapping, and even murder. Measures designed to safeguard human rights and secure Mexico's southern border have made matters worse on these individuals and families trying to carve out a better life. Rotary scholar Levi Vonk spent time in migrant shelters learning their stories, and explains how Rotary's funding of scholars is helping shed light on the complex issues involved and equip people of action to pursue solutions.
 
Exchange full of new experiences for student with blindness
Seema Tamang became the first outbound Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Nepal during the 2016-17 school year. As a student with blindness, Seema admits being a bit scared as she approached a new environment. But in her blog post for Rotary Voices, she describes how the experience broadened her perspective, and advises other youth exchange students to be prepared to gain new ideas and grow their confidence.
 
The power of a garden
Rotary members in Harvard, Illinois, have teamed up with community groups to help alleviate hunger and bring the community together. As many as 250 needy families benefit from the 10,000 pounds of vegetables that are grown in a community garden and donated every year to the local food pantry. With only seven members, the club has had an impact far beyond its size, amplifying its efforts by partnering with others.

Rotary, University of Chicago host peace series
Pathways to PeacePathways to Peace Series: Peace in the Age of Uncertainty
 
The 21st century has ushered in an era of rapid and at times incomprehensible change. Citizens in communities great and small are living in a near constant state of social, political, economic and cultural upheaval. Simply put, people no longer feel safe and secure in their lives. From crime on the streets of Chicago to human rights violations in Syria and unending war in Afghanistan, people are increasingly convinced that the world is falling apart. The reality is that in many ways, the world is healthier, more prosperous and more peaceful than at any time in history. Thus we face the paradox of a world that is both turbulent and tranquil at the same time. How do we calm the unrest, spread prosperity and show that the world can be, and in fact is, a better place to live?
