Five days of energy and inspiration for all participants
We are so proud of our heroes!! Our volunteers Melanie Lewis, Barbara McChesney, Abdul Rashid Alhassan, Janet Kabeberi-Macharia, Ilya Shcharbitsky and all volunteers from the Netherlands and Germany.
The EndPlasticSoup initiative created a lot of attention all over the Rotary International Convention in Singapore: from Nacho Dean during his presentation at the main stage to our breakout presentation and our Booth in the House of Friendship.
