Knoxville Rotary - Twin Club Connections

RCK's Past President Mike Shires lives in Knysna and his wife, Sandy, operates a Rotary sponsored breakfast feeding program for township residents who are out looking for day work each morning. If those looking for work have a meal in the early morning, they will be able to work better. Our club has partnered with the Knysna Rotary Club for over eight years and helped renovate several pre-shool facilities and we have collaborated on several matching grants to benefit young township children. RCK Board member Allen Pannell and his children traveled to Knysna a few years ago and while there they painted a pre-school, which is called a creche in South Africa. We have sent several teams of Interact students to Knysna and Stanford, SA to help and learn about South Africa.

Next summer we hope to have a team of Interact students and some members of our club go on an Outreach Discovery trip to Knysna and Stanford. If you are interested, please let Townes know and plan to come to the World Community Service potluck on August 18 at Kathryn Johnson's home. More info about the potluck is in our newsletter.
