“What an incredible day of service! Our Rotary Club, alongside the dedicated STRIVE students, came together to volunteer at Village Water Filters, where we helped build water filters to provide clean drinking water to those in need.
It was inspiring to see Rotarians and STRIVE students working side by side, making a tangible impact on communities that lack access to clean water. This collaboration highlights the power of mentorship and community service, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved!” ... See MoreSee Less
