Rotaract Club of Bombay North Island is back with its most popular and award winning International Service Project - ADOPT-A-TREE.

As last year, they will be planting 41 trees to commemorate the 41st year of Rotaract worldwide. This year, they are turning this concept into a Tree Exchange.

Every Rotaract club worldwide is invited to pledge one tree with RACBNI and in return they would request you to plant one tree for them in your vicinity. This planting of trees will happen simultaneously in the week of the 13th of March,2009.

Another highlight this year : 41 trees have been pledged and will be planted by students from Kalyandeep School for mentally and physically challenged kids.

An e-bulletin will also be released towards the end of the month. So do support RACBNI in this initiative of spreading the message of peace,love and friendship through ADOPT-A-TREE.All you have to do is simply pledge one tree on behalf of your club and then see the tree of our friendship grow and provide protection against global warming.

Yups, it's March already, people!

Seems like a slow semester for this avenue but not to worry coz we're currently planning yet another Goodwill Trip. Unlike our previous trips to i) Pune, India (2004) ii) Singapore (2006) iii) Chiang Rai, Thailand (2007) and most recently iv) Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta last December, this time round, we're going local.

What's more? We are collaborating with the Professional Development (PD) avenue.

Plans to Kuching and Sibu are taking shape. Currently, we're working hard on keeping the budget reasonable and the trip worthwhile. This 1-week-outing will not only cover the usual community service and fellowship with Rotaractors there, PD is arranging visits to a PETRONAS plant, the Bako National Park and UNIMAS as well!

Tentatively, this project is scheduled to be on the 11th - 17th JUNE 2009 and would cost just around RM800* we're trying our best to bring you the best deals :) Look out for more info to come!
