Service Projects
Our International Service Director from 2010-2011, Netila Demneri, organized a Habitat for Humanity Build in New Orleans before the Rotaract Pre-Convention and invited Rotaractors from 7 other Rotaract Clubs in the U.S. and the U.K. to collaborate on a project that lives up to the theme: Building Communities, Bridging Continents.
Here is a video of Netila being interviewed by a reporter from Rotary International.
