Meeting No 53 - 11 June 2016
Posted by BJN
Welcome to meeting No. 53 of
the Rotary eClub of Latitude 38
June is Rotary Fellowships Month
Drinking water, also known as potable water or improved drinking water, is water safe enough for drinking and food preparation. Globally, in 2012, 89% of people had access to water suitable for drinking. Nearly 4 billion had access to tap water while another 2.3 billion had access to wells or public taps. 1.8 billion people still use an unsafe drinking water source which may be contaminated by feces. This can result in infectious diarrhea such as cholera and typhoid among others.

This week's meeting material
- Rotary Fellowships at a Glance
- Water is a Gift - More than 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. Rotary helps communities develop sustainable water and sanitation systems and provides education on clean water and sanitation.
- Be a Gift to The World - Mahatria at the Rotary International Convention 2016
- The Power of Introverts - Susan Cain. Published February 2012. In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated
