The Foundation also supports individuals making a difference in the world. Fary Moini [moy-nee], a member of the Rotary Club of La Jolla Golden Triangle, Calif., is a registered nurse. She spent two months as a Rotary Volunteer in Pakistan in 2002, helping families in refugee camps. Upon her return home, she raised money to help build a school near Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
Moini recently received national recognition in the U.S. when she was awarded the National Hometown Hero award from the Lifetime cable television network for her efforts. Though grateful for the award, Moini said that her most significant reward was helping those in need. During her acceptance speech, Moini said: “I belong to a great organization, Rotary International, and with their encouragement, with their support, I was able to do these small things with love.”
