Rotary Club of Central Tortola partners with NLBC for Soups n’ Sandwiches initiative
According to the Rotary Club of Central Tortola, this marks the third time this initiative has been carried out, and each occasion continues to affirm the club's shared commitment to compassion, dignity, and service to those who need it most.
"Through a simple meal and a kind word, we were reminded that meaningful change often begins with showing up and caring.
"We were especially grateful for the support of the Rotary Club Sunrise of Road Town, whose partnership and willingness to serve alongside us helped make today’s outreach possible. When organisations come together with a common purpose, the impact is far greater than any one group could achieve alone," Rotary Club of Central Tortola commented on social media.
'One act of kindness at a time'
The club expressed appreciation to all the volunteers, partners, and supporters who continue to give their time, resources, and hearts to this effort.
"Together, we remain committed to reaching our community, one act of kindness at a time," the Rotary Club of Centra Tortola stated.

I would very much like to know who are those in need?
I'm not being bias here but bvi shouldn't have person's living here to be in need. Almost every local have land why not rent it out and get an income? There are persons who can rent it and do gardening or have livestock etc etc? The government building houses for elder persons who have land so there are any homeless people here. The only person's suffering are the island workers who doesn't work for 40 hours a week or work for very small salary, they are the ones who suffering especially if the have school age kids, they cannot go do an extra days work anywhere else if their regular boss only give them 3 or 4 days per week work. Construction work slow down tremendously, have anyone consider those workers who are struggling to make ends meet.
Why can't Rotary help to create a more equitable society that helps to give persons a hand up rather than a hand out? Why can't they help to establish and run after-school programmes (as they do in other jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands)? Why can't they help more in supplementing the exhorbitant costs of home-care for the infirmed an aged? How about sponsoring the Safe Haven Centre for example? Why can't they support more TVET training opportunities for young people that would help to sustain our economy? Why can't they partner more with other organizations on job creation initiatives? Help persons learn how to 'fish' for themselves.
These are just a few ideas that I am sharing for the leaders of these types of community organizations to marinate on. Please do not insult our collective intelligence by posting photos of helpers preparing brown food bags for persons 'in need'. We are just tired of these charades and facades. We are NOT impressed at all! Stop it!
