- "On my two-month journey through Kenya, in a village on the island of Rusinga, I met with 15 children in a school in a meadow. I wrote about my volunteering at my blog. I had two options: 1. to be next to them a couple of days, take a picture, hang on instagram and go on. Option 2 was to stay and use blog so i could raise money and help this little children where help was urgently needed. Guess which option I chose. "

Rotary is a global humanitarian organization that gathers worldwide successful individuals whose volunteer work or services want to improve their local communities, but also make a global world a better place. Rotary E-Club District Serbia and Montenegro is the first Rotary club in our country and it has its meetings held electronically via the Internet, and therefore can bring together the members from different cities, but also the different countries. This action in Kenya is the first international activity of this young Rotary Club.

- As soon as we got the call to join the campaign in Kenya we have accepted. Commitment of our Rotary club is that activity should be directed towards education, which this project certainly is. We are happy that with this project we helped the children on the other side of the world from Serbia. This is what gives the Rotary organization its strength. It is important for every individual to find a way to do something useful for their community besides their every day job. Its even better if one can do it on global level - said Nikola Bozic, first president and the founder of electronic Rotary club in our country.
