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.

We set a high value on the efforts of Rotary International and on this organizations valuable work in eradicating polio from the world. Rotary has invested a lot of voluntary work and more than 1.2 billion US dollars for this work only.
