Our club, motivated by our desire to engage in an international project, teamed up with Potters for Peace, visiting local clubs in Fernandina, Amelia Island Sunrise, Ponte Vedra Beach, and St. Augustine to support the Nicaragua Water Project. We focused on developing the application with clearly defined project scope and approved expenses for Rotary funding. We also explored collaborations with local Rotary clubs and NGOs. Additionally, our district is focusing on Haiti this year, with ongoing projects supporting local orphanages and fostering joint club involvement.
