Rotary’s reach extends far beyond geography, and sometimes that reach can make a life-changing difference. During the Earth Network Rotary Club meeting on July 23, 2026, Martin Brocklebank shared an inspiring presentation, Our Global Fellowship Changes Lives, highlighting the power of Rotary connections around the world. Brocklebank is a member of the Rotary eClub of Innovation, an online club founded in 2014 that demonstrates how Rotarians can create meaningful impact regardless of location.
One of the presentation’s most compelling stories recounts how Rotarians mobilized to help a 27-year-old Rotary Peace Fellow and activist escape Afghanistan just hours before the Taliban took control of the government on August 15, 2021. The story serves as a powerful reminder that Rotary is more than meetings and service projects. It is a global network of people committed to helping one another in times of need.
