Fulton Rotary still building bonds with Rwanda club

The Fulton Rotary Club continues to build its relationship with a Rotary Chapter in Rwanda it founded seven years ago.

The club, called the Mt. Gisaka Rotary Club, is nestled in the Ngoma District of Rwanda and has been the site where Fulton Rotary members have founded a health center, sponsored live- stock projects and donated solar study lamps to students who do not have access to electricity at home, according to an email. Usually members make a trip over the summer to reunite with the Mt. Gisaka Rotary and during the 2015 trip, Fulton Rotarian Bob Hansen realized the Rwanda group did not have The Four-Way Test.

The Four-Way Test is a banner with a code of ethics Rotarians follow in their personal and business relationships.

"We can keep this community partnership alive between Fulton, Callaway and Rwanda," Hansen said. "There are a lot of these community partnerships that get started with a lot of flair and peter out quickly."

The Fulton Rotary club purchased a banner for the Mt. Gisaka Rotary club and shipped it down to Rwanda for the members to use during their rotary meetings.
