Undertake service projects and activities which provides valuable experience and opportunities for the personal development of each Rotaractor. Rotaract activities are the basis for fellowship as well as service. Rotaract gives all members a chance to work together in active service projects in the community. It also links you with thousands of others who are working for better international understanding through Rotaract. Every Rotaract club works on at least three major service projects annually - one to serve the community, another to stimulate international understanding and a third to stimulate high ethical standards in business and professions. When you join, there will be a special place for you. In fact, you may be the one on whom the success of a project depends, or even the one who recognizes the need for a particular project. In Orange Walk, to commemorate Pan-American day (Oct. 12) the Rotaract club hosts an annual Miss Pan-am pageant, along with a parade. Belize City and Orange Walk clubs give out highschool scholarship to needy children. Belize City Rotaract club hosts an annual Children's Christmas party for the needy around the city along with the Children from the Child Care Center (Children's Home). Some of Belize City Rotaract's achievements have included the making and distributing of garbage drums to various secondary schools throughout the City. One of the more long term plans that have been taken is the rennovation of a park within the City, to make the park safer for children to play in. Rotaract activities are not all work by any means. Rotaract groups find that their association is the basis for fellowship as well as serivce. Whether it is a group trip to tourist sites around Belize, an overnight trip, or a sporting event, or tour to a company or a special project for a local hospital, school or other public agency, you are part of the action through Rotaract. Rotaractors are invited to participate in the four day Annual District Conference, hosted by a different country every year. Belize hosted its first conference in 1987.
