District Ambassadorial Scholar Benny Manser - Update Print E-mail
Written by Benny Manser   

tun_myints_rice_fields_are_only_a_few_weeks_from_harvesting_-_photo_benny_mansermercy_corps.jpgDear fellow Rotarians,

I hope you are all well, I am currently working in Burma in the Ayewaddy delta region which was hit by a cyclone a few years ago. I’m interning with the charity Mercy Corps and I am really finding the people, community and the entire situation in this country amazing and everyday I'm learning a lot.

Click on the link to a short online blog http://www.mercycorps.org/bennymanser/blog/26221
 ‘Improving Harvests in a Cyclone’s Wake’.  I will endeavour to keep you updated occasionally and  would like to say a really big thank you to you all for giving me a stepping stone to come out here through the Ambassadorial Scholarship and hope we can establish some Rotary projects here in the near future.

Warm wishes,

Benny

A Thought...

glennestessl.jpg"One of the most wonderful things about Rotary is that it allows you to be part of something so much larger than yourself."

Glenn E. Estess Snr., RI President 2005.

Nothing Changes...

paul-harris.jpg"I would like to think that the pioneering days of Rotary have only just begun. There are just as many new things to be done as ever there were. Kaleidoscopic changes are taking place, many of them without our will. Even to hang on to the fringe of this fast-changing world is about all most of us can do. Rotary simply must continue to pioneer or be left in the rear of progress."

Paul Harris - The Rotarian February 1945
