Tarang Water & Sanitation

Water & Sanitation Edition - 9

Dear Rotaractors!

We hope everyone has been doing well and rising onward and upward. We are proud to present the March edition of Tarang.

This month, we saw many impactful projects including Kalakaar, Awareness to Down Syndrome and Speak English. Let us keep our Rotaract spirits high and continue working on meaningful projects. We also had our club outing to Erode to attend Rtr. Sarvanan's wedding. Tarang Editorial Team wishes him a happy married life. We have entered in the last quarter of the Rota-Year. We are enthralled to witness your energy, and we wish to see many more members grabbing any opportunity presented to shine. We will continue to have exciting and impactful projects in future as well.

We once again encourage our fellows to make use of Tarang’s special column, RCB’s Got Talent, where we celebrate anything you have achieved in your personal or professional life, or anything you have created on your own. We love seeing our members accessing their creative side!

We hope you enjoy reading the March edition of Tarang as much as we enjoyed creating and designing it for you!

Mask up, sanitize, and stay safe, folks.

Rotary Theme of the Month Providing clean water is one of Rotary’s six areas of focus and so the Theme for the month of March is “Water & Sanitation”.

Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.

We don’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects. When children learn about disease transmission and practice good hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home to their families, expanding our impact.
