A Hobby with a Purpose

We concentrate on supporting Youth Exchange. We help youngsters to participate in the Rotary International Youth Exchange every second year. We believe that youth exchange is the best grassroots internationalization and peace education.

We also highlight important social development needs. We have been working together with elderly people living at Ehtookoti, Asikkala and organized activities together with them.
