The Rotary Club of Harlingen was honored to welcome a very special guest from Nigeria, Sister Chi, through the invitation of Past President Wayne Lowry 🌍🤝
Her visit served as a powerful reminder of Rotary’s global impact and the life-changing work made possible through international partnerships. Wayne Lowry, alongside Past District Governor Eddie Bartnesky and fellow Rotarians, helped support efforts to bring clean water access to communities in Nigeria through Rotary water well initiatives 💧. These projects have helped provide safe drinking water and improved living conditions for countless families and children.
Sister Chi shared her gratitude and perspective during her time with the club, highlighting the importance of service, compassion, and international fellowship ❤️.
Moments like these remind us that “Service Above Self” truly reaches around the world 🌎✨
