She said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to recognise Rotarians who give their time and talents to help communities at a time when they need it most.


Rotarians come from all walks of ife, they are men and women


who want to make a difference. We were delighted to receive


support from Nick Clegg, who kindly offered his time to recognise the excellent work hat the worthy volunteers


undertake everyday; much of which is funded solely by the ndividuals, who work neither or money nor for recognition


but to help causes that they are passionate about and believe in wholeheartedly.”

Kenya, India, Pakistan and Sumatra, caring for the poor around Bethlehem, and, nearer home, to enhancing facilities in local communities and spearheading the voluntary flood relief project in the Somerset Levels.
