The Rotary Club of Voorschoten-Leidschendam made a donation destined to provide post-school activities for the youngsters of Wishi-Marchena.The Wishi-Marchena neighborhood is typified by above average incidence of poverty and single-parent families.
As a result many children are neglected at home and either take to the streets, or become couch potatoes. Either way their physical and intellectual development is stunted by the lack of nourishment for both body and soul.

Rotarally 2009: Combined Efforts Lead to Success!
As we look back at Rotarally 2009, a well received fundraising event to collect funds for post school education for the youth in Wishi/Marchena, we are thankful.
Thankful to all the participants to the rally who contributed to our cause. Thankful to the sponsors who through their generosity made it possible for us to organize the event.
UPDATE: More pictures, made by fellow Rotarian Shirley Lo-An-Joe (including some never before seen behind the scenes photos) and a special word of thanks to all sponsors can be found here. You need to see these pictures!
And last, but certainly not least, we are grateful for the help we got from Rotaract members and the Rotarians of our Club.
