 | | Shape-shifting Singapore | | No matter how recently or how often you’ve been to Singapore, you’ll always find something new.

In the September issue of the magazine, Huang shares some of the delights he found on his visit as a preview for the thousands of Rotary members expected to attend. Be one of them by registering before 15 December and take advantage of the early discount. | |

| | Modular homes for Moshchun | | Rotary districts around the world have used disaster response grants totaling nearly US$1 million to donate 76 modular homes to Ukraine.

| The life of a Rotary Youth Exchange student | | Smera Chanda started her Rotary Youth Exchange in September of 2022. Sponsored by a Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, she spent a year with host families in Catalonia, Spain, learning not only Spanish but also the local Catalan. Inspired to give back, she dedicated her hours after school to helping primary school students with their English. “I now have another incredible family whom I will remember forever,” she shares. Read more of her story in her blog post for Rotary Voices. |  |
