A marwari family helped her get back home.

Rotary
The new team took charge from the old team with lots of thanks to the old team for their efforts in the previous year and with great new plans for the next year. We had a two hour function on Friday ( I did manage to reach on time beating a few meetings and traffic and rain ). For the previous year our club got recognised as the best club in the District for community service ( your truly was the Director in charge of this portfolio ) so it was happy occasion for me.. The club got the award not only for this but for vocational service as well . Under vocational service , we had a tailor made computer course for twenty girls in "Office " , tally etc., in association with Andra mahila Sabha and it was heartening to see all of them get jobs at the end of the course( salaries from 1800 to 4000 ). So good work by the team all in all.
This year , I continue as the Director of Community Service-- Hopefully we should be able to do good projects that reach the needy- Any thoughts on this subject is welcome
