A Generous Donation from Rotary Club

November 29, 2024

On Monday, November 18, some members of Team Jamaica presented our mission and project to the Rotary Club of Austin University Area. It was a great night of food, laughs, and a shared commitment to "Service Above Self". Through this, we forged a partnership that will have a long and lasting impact on the community of Riversdale, Jamaica. 

This week, we learned that the board has agreed to donate $5,000 to our cause. We would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to the board and members of the Rotary Club for their generous donation!

We encourage everyone to learn more about this wonderful organization!


Members of Team Jamaica and Rotary Club.


P.S. Shout out to Technical Co-Lead Diya Nair and President Ivan Millman. Diya, for her connection to prior connection to Rotary in Singapore; and Ivan, for his strong advocacy for our cause.
