Alumni award winners turn heads with unique accomplishments
Maya Ajmera founded the Global Fund for Children in 1993 to provide seed money to community-based organizations that help at-risk children across the world. Since then, GFC has awarded more than $32 million in grants to over 600 organizations in 80 countries, improving the lives of millions of children – from educating AIDS orphans in Uganda to conducting so-called curbside classrooms for waste pickers in Cambodia.
"Education is the key to getting human beings out of poverty," says Ajmera, whose studies at St. Xavier's College in Mumbai were sponsored by the Rotary Club of China Lake in...
Paralympian Dennis Ogbe defying paralysis
Dennis Ogbe grips the discus in his right hand. He swings his arm and twists at the waist as far to the right as he can. With one move he snaps back, letting the saucer fly. Upper-body strength is important for any discus thrower, but for Ogbe, a Paralympian, it’s everything.
At age three, Ogbe contracted malaria, and while receiving treatment at a clinic near his home in rural Nigeria, he became infected with the poliovirus. Paralyzed from the waist down, he was sent home in the arms of his mother.
He credits his physical rehabilitation to a harsh form of therapy – the taunts of the other...
Moving doctor’s office rescues women from breast cancer
In Tamil Nadu, India, two doctors, both members of the Rotary Club of Srirangam, discovered an alarming trend in the remote city outskirts of Trichy, women dying of breast cancer.
Drs. K. Govindaraj and K.N. Srinivasan knew that much of the death and suffering could be avoided, and both were motivated by their personal experiences with the disease. Govindaraj watched his mother die of breast cancer a decade earlier, and helped found the Dr. K. Shantha Breast Cancer Foundation in her memory. Srinivasan, an oncologist, witnessed unprecedented growth in the number of younger patients coming to...
Writer and war widow Artis Henderson finds peace through Rotary
In the first month of my stay in Dakar, Senegal, as a Rotary Scholar, a friend gave me a piece of helpful advice. “Buy a wedding ring,” she said. I had already learned that as a young American woman in a Muslim country, I attracted a certain kind of attention. But a ring?
My friend nodded. “That way everyone will leave you alone.”
With my thumb I felt for the empty space on my left ring finger -- a place that, even now, I sometimes touch and worry where my ring has gone. I removed my wedding band on the one-year anniversary of my marriage, eight months after my husband, Miles, was killed in...
Peace fellow Ali Reza Eshraghi on today’s Iran
Iranian-born journalist Ali Reza Eshraghi, 35, is the Iran project manager at the Institute for War and Peace Reporting and a teaching fellow in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In 2012, he completed his studies as a Rotary Peace Fellow at the Duke-UNC Rotary...

Welcome to the Rotary Club of South Miami! We are the lunchtime destination for business and civic-minded professionals in South Miami, Kendall, Pinecrest and surrounding areas.
We recognize that young professionals do business differently than our parents, the most significant difference, of course, being usage of the Internet. "Networking" online has its benefits, but nothing will ever replace creating and fostering personal relationships. You can't build trust online without having a personal relationship first.
But are we too busy to take an hour for lunch every week of the month? Perhaps. That's why the Rotary Club of South Miami is excited to initiate a new era of Rotary innovation - our Club will now meet for lunch twice per month, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday. We will also host one social event and particiapte in one service event per month. This lightens the burden on missing work, and also increases our interaction and networking time with one another. Finally, as "Service Above Self" is our motto, we will be able to give back to the community even more.
We hope you will come to a lunch meeting, social event or service project to see why we are part of the largest networking organization in the world, Rotary International. With Rotarians, you can make a difference.
Brett Trembly,
President, Rotary Club of South Miami
