Ever wonder where our containers filled with materials end up? This is the school library in Tshelanyemba, Zimbabwe. The librarian sent this photo to show how they’re using the desks, chairs, filing cabinets and books that were on the last container! Many thanks to everyone involved! Whether donors, sorters, packers or fundraisers you have all made a huge impact on the lives of the people in this community.

Welcome to Eva Schmit, our 2018-2019 Youth Exchange student from Fouches, Belgium. Eva is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Arlon in District 1630. She will be in Newfoundland for the school year, staying with host families while she attends High School. We look forward to getting to know you Eva!
The Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest is seeking a beneficiary for the proceeds of our annual gala and auction. Our areas of focus for this year's fundraising are mental health and/or addictions, as we recognize that these are areas of great need within our city.
Another year, another container is heading to Zimbabwe. Thanks to all of the volunteers and donors for continued support for this amazing project.
