Nassau, Bahamas - The Rotaract
Club of East Nassau, a community service organization comprised of young
professionals, recently directly impacted the lives of six children by enabling
them to continue playing the sport that they love.
The six future soccer superstars
all play for the Insurance Management Bears, managed by fellow Rotarian Hope
Sealey. The sponsorship, at a cost of $175 per child, covers the coaching fees
and the uniform cost, and through the playing of the sport teaches the children
teamwork, social skills, commitment and a host of other skills that will take
them far beyond the soccer pitch.
“While it’s important that we
assist with major natural disasters, donations like this can make a tremendous
positive impact on a child’s life”, said Jaime Lewis, Community Service
Director for the Rotaract Club of East Nassau. “Just by enabling kids to play
soccer we help provide them with important life skills that will, in time, help
to better the entire Bahamas.”
The Rotaract Club of East Nassau,
sponsored by the Rotary Club of East Nassau and a member of Rotary
International, is a community service organization for young professionals
ranging in age from 18-30. The Club was the 2010 recipient of the District 7020
Rotaract Club of the Year Award. More information can be found at their
