Members of Rotary Club of Willowdale were proud to support Markham Sunrise Rotary with the “Sew Girls Can Go to School” project.

Together, volunteers assembled reusable sanitary pad kits for girls in the Dominican Republic and across Africa, helping improve access to education by supporting girls’ health, dignity, and school attendance.

A meaningful day of service making a lasting difference in the lives of young girls around the world.

The Rotary Club of Willowdale marked its EPIC Day of Service yesterday with a community cleanup at Bayview Village Park. Our Club members came together to collect litter and help restore the park’s natural beauty, demonstrating a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and local pride.
