The Fellowship maintains a web page with membersī
information, and gives space to its members to publish material
in their spheres of interest.
The Fellowship members share a very active
discussion forum about Rotary Information, including a
translation service into Spanish and Portuguese of the latest
R.I. News. A volunteer group of translator members feed the
Fellowship with the latest R.I. information available, as soon
as it gets out of Evanston.
The Fellowship promotes and encourages individual
members to circulate information about the activities of their
clubs and districts, allowing sharing ideas, and best practical
experiences. This is a key area of the fellowship as it allows members to ask/offer
advice and
help in different regions. Members act as ambassadors and help
build bridges across the countries: if something that cannot be
solved by a club in one given place is published, a member in
some different area of the region will no doubt come forward
with a solution. This not only covers activities, but also
includes Rotarians traveling in/outside the region, and Rotary
Foundation scholars, for example.
The Fellowship participates in Community Service
activities proposed by members in a given place, and
collectively help to solve problems, including funding some
activities. One example is the proposal from Rotary Club Oliva,
in Cordoba, Argentina, to help patients at a Mental Hospital in
their area by obtaining a milk cow. Mental Health experts
believe such a project ameliorates patients conditions and help
them develop areas of activity and responsibility. The Rotarian
cow is to join a bread producing activity at the same Hospital,
and fellowship members not only are donating funds (coming from
all over Latin America and Spain and France), but are involving
their clubs and individual club colleagues to support this
project. A few experts in dairy production have already come
forward to advise on this issue.
The Fellowship organizes face to face meetings in
different regions of Argentina like Tandil and Mar del Plata,
giving members an opportunity to share weekends together, after
and in addition to their daily exchanges on the net. Thus,
members can reinforce the bonds of friendship and can enrich
their knowledge of Rotary.
The Fellowship has participated in promoting its activities at
the 99th Rotary International Convention in Los Angeles.
