Madison Rotary Supports World Central Kitchen
Following the recent destruction in Puerto Rico, Florida, and the surrounding areas caused by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, The Madison Rotary Club is proud to donate $1,000 to World Central Kitchen (WCK) in support of their immediate relief efforts feeding those in need. World Central Kitchen, led by chef José Andrés, started with a simple idea:  When people are hungry, send in cooks. Not tomorrow, today. Wherever there is a need, the WCK team is often first to the frontlines, providing hot fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. “As part of Madison Rotary’s mission to fight food insecurity we looked for ways to quickly assist our friends in the South. With WCK’s experience and existing teams already on the ground, supporting them directly seemed a sensible choice”, said President Doug Willis.  To learn more about World Central Kitchen, click here.
Madison High School Interact Club Supports Maasai Girls
Madison High School Interact Club is a school service club.  Students with the support of faculty advisor  Carole Rawding and support from members of the affiliated Madison Rotary, identified the Maasai Girls Fund, a local NJ foundation that makes possible scholarships for young Maasai village girls in rural Kenya.  Without the Fund’s help, these girls would have only a few basic grammar school years, then lives of hard servitude, being sold in exchange for cattle as genitally cut child brides into polygamous marriages.  The Fund, led by Paul and Avery Mantell of Kinnelon, also Rotary members, arranged to stop cutting, and has helped dozens of these village girls attend four-year boarding school including tuition, uniforms, room and board.  MHS Juniors Nina Kornchankul and Owen Weller led a successful Walk-a-Thon fund raiser campaign in Madison back in May that, combined with a follow-up online fund raiser, netted over $2,600, enough to fund four years of high school for one young lady, Leah Malano, pictured.
