\nThe motto for the 糖心vlog视频\u2019s Rotaract club is \u201cservice above self.\u201d Recently, the student members acted on their motto by hosting a free barbecue for the residents at Camp Unity, a tent village in Woodinville, Washington. It was a collaborative event, with Woodinville Rotary members and local firefighters volunteering together to help the Rotaract students serve the community. The Woodinville Rotarians also provided the funding for the barbecue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ariana Navarro, a Business Administration major and the club\u2019s president, served the food with a smile. She was happy about the student turnout \u2014 and the club\u2019s membership is on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiving back to the community feels so good, and students want to help,\u201d Navarro said. \u201cWe only have so much time in the day; I want to spend some of mine helping others. I always have felt like I had a hole inside me. When I am in service, I feel that emptiness filled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mia Harris, a premajor and the club’s Peace Committee lead, spent her 19th birthday celebrating with the residents. \u201cUnfortunately, a lot of the time we deprive homeless people of their humanity by ignoring them,\u201d she said. \u201cBy interacting with them in a social and friendly way, we are acknowledging them as valuable human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the barbecue, residents enjoyed a meal of burgers, hotdogs, chips and other snacks. Club members and Rotary mentors also distributed socks and beddings. \u201cThe students have done so much for us by coming here,\u201d said Ren\u00e9, a resident of Camp Unity. \u201cThe food is incredibly helpful. It is acts of service like this that give me hope for the next generation to do better when it comes to dealing with homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian, another resident of Camp Unity, gave the Rotaract Club a tour of the village. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a stereotypical homeless camp,\u201d he said. \u201cThe goal of Camp Unity is to find permanent housing and jobs for its residents. We don\u2019t allow drugs, alcohol or abusive behavior. If you want to live here, you have to agree to certain guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UW Bothell Rotaract club is a chapter of Rotary International, an organization founded more than 100 years ago with the mission of bringing business professionals together to provide humanitarian services. Locally, Rotarians mentor the student Rotaract members, helping them apply for grants and scholarships and connecting them to the larger network of Rotarians worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rotaract club welcomes new members year-round, and all students \u2014 not just business majors \u2014 are welcome to join. The club\u2019s activities include food drives, sock drives, \u201coperation warm coats\u201d and work parties. Members also help in the community through projects such as planting strawberries at food bank gardens and conducting mock interviews for people trying to find work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
