CLUB STORIES
RTW, Days For Girls and TAGI are changing lives in Uganda
RTW, Days For Girls and TAGI are changing lives in Uganda

Club President, Daphine Marunga, recently provided an update on the work of her Uganda-centred charity known as The Amara Girls Initiative (TAGI).  An ongoing project in conjunction with Days For Girls and the support of the Rotary Club of Toronto West (RTW) has focused on providing menstrual kits and improved hygiene facilities that enable girls to stay in school.

 
In many countries, schools do not have adequate safe hygiene facilities and feminine hygiene products are not readily available or affordable.  Girls feel obligated to stay at home during their periods.  They fall behind in their school work and some will drop out of school.  When girls struggle to attain a basic education, their difficulties have broad impacts.
 
Last Hurrah, Summer 2023
Last Hurrah, Summer 2023
The Rotary Club of Toronto West had a bitter-sweet summer.  We experienced the passing of our beloved Rotarian, Donald "Don" Foster, who has been with the Rotary Club for over 60 years.  But we also had some wonderful celebrations.
 
 
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe Rotary Club of Toronto West knows how to make hay while the sun is shining.  We had a wonderful summer but we saved the best for the last days of Summer.  We had a wonderful family pool party at the residence of Rtn. Susan on August 12.  On this day we also celebrated the 17th birthday of Jeremy, Rtn. Anthony and Veronica's grandson.  Fortunately, there were other teen-agers at the pool party including Sabrina, granddaughter of Rtn. Willis. 
  
 To end the summer in a big way, RTW together with the Tibetan Club and the Etobicoke Club celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Rotary Peace Park and the International Day of Peace.  It was a wonderful celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion. featuring multi-cultural foods and fun.
 On September 14, we had our last social breakfast meeting for the summer at the Olive Restaurant, one of RTW's favourite breakfast places.  And now we welcome the fall.
