William & Mary Rotaract up for a Challenge!
I met with William and Mary students on campus yesterday at a Rotaract meeting. Rotaract is a university-based Rotary-sponsored service club and their international activism parallels ONE’s mission to fight global poverty and injustice. The Williamsburg club even hosted the ONE bus in September as it toured college towns around the country!
Now W&M Rotaract and ONE members are ready for a challenge – the ONE Campus Challenge! During the meeting they brainstormed ideas for a spring semester packed with awareness-raising events and service projects. I’m looking forward to our collaboration and can’t wait to see members of the Tribe at the Power 100 Summit in 2010!

Hi,
My name is Jahaziela and I’m a rotaractor from Madagascar.
First, congratulation for your project. Humanity needs people like you.
Second, may be we can fight poverty together and make a new project for Madagascar. How do you think about that?
Finally, we are looking for RAC William and Mary contact. Please, can you give us their contact?
Regards, from the red island.
