For the past 70 years, Rotary and UNESCO

have been pursuing the same goals around the world.

Rotary’s relationship with UNESCO dates back to a

1942 London Rotary Conference

to promote international cultural and educational exchanges.

Attended by ministers of education and observers

from around the world,

it was an inspiration to the creation of UNESCO in 1946.

Wheelchairs for Kids has produced more than 30,000 wheelchairs

since it began as a Rotary project in Perth in 1998.

Every $150 raised gives a child the freedom of mobility and liberates a carer.

Starting in May, Trish O’Reilly, CEO of AAMIG

will be undertaking a 60-day,

6,600 km ride across America to raise money for Wheelchairs for Kids.

I invite you to consider making a donation for this truly inspiring charity

in response to the efforts of those involved in the TransAmerica Cycle Challenge.

Please sponsor Trish here.
