Members and their support team of community volunteers from the Rotary Club of Pearlridge (RCOP) headed out West to Kapolei on Saturday, August 16 to assist the Rotary Club of Kapolei Sunset in labeling and packing books that will be shipped soon to the Philippines as a part of the Books4Kids Project.
Rotarian volunteers and their supporters made another dent on Saturday in the estimated 70,000 books that will eventually make its way to the Philippines. The Books4Kids Project is a joint venture of the Rotary Club of Kapolei Sunset, the Rotary Club of Surigao City & the Provincial Governor of Surgaio del Norte, Sol F. Matugas.
Kapolei Sunset and RCOP community volunteers also teamed up in July to tackle the Books4Kids Project workload. Rotary Club of Kapolei Sunset volunteers have prepared over 7 tons of books for shipment in the months of May and June of this year.
Mahalo to our Pearl City connection, RCOP Board Member Rick Lau, and community volunteer Mary Villamil for helping out on Saturday!
