Rotary Korea has announced its extensive domestic and international service activities conducted throughout 2024, underscoring the value of giving back and volunteering. This year, Rotary Korea has consistently contributed to society through various initiatives such as medical support, assistance to vulnerable groups, and disaster relief.
Rotary International District 3650 carried out a large-scale medical service project in Hanoi, Vietnam. In collaboration with Operation Smile, a global non-profit international medical NGO, this project involved 44 clubs that raised a total of $30,000. With these funds, surgeries were provided to over 100 Vietnamese children with cleft lips and palates who lived in medically underserved areas. Volunteers offered comfort to the patients and their families, also donating toys worth 6 million won. Over the past 14 years, District 3650 has provided free surgeries to approximately 2,700 children, significantly improving the quality of life for individuals with cleft conditions.
On December 17th, the Seoul Muaik Rotary Club visited the "Gruteogi Learning Center" children's center in Gaepoong-dong to support their "Love Echo Presentation." The event featured various long-term presentations, and club members participated as judges to encourage the students. For 20 years, the Seoul Muaik Rotary Club has provided consistent regular support to help local children grow up healthy.
