Another perspective

For any reading this who don't know, I am part of an intentional faith-based community known as Jubilee House Community (JHC).  We run the Center for Development in Central America (CDCA) in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua.  One of the aspects of our work here I have liked to compare to a conduit, connecting resources (primarily in the US) with needs (primarily in Nicaragua).

We became aware of a vast potential resource in many U.S. Rotary Clubs, eager to help in impoverished areas like Nicaragua, but Rotary guidelines require that the donor club work with a recipient club in the targeted area.  After a number of unsuccessful attempts to partner with the existing Rotary clubs in Nicaragua, we decided to start a new one.  You can learn more about our club on their Facebook page (Club Rotario Ciudad Sandino).  It is a proudly unique organization!

Rotarians are called to consider all their actions in light of the Four-Way Test:


I don't think that Donald Trump ever joined Rotary, although many business people do.  But I have to point out that so far his first 100 days fail the Four-Way Test right down the line!

I'm just saying . . .
