Kelli Calloway - Rotary's very own Ambassadorial Scholar

We were treated to a talk by Kelli Calloway, a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar from Visalia and sponsored by Rotary Club 5230 who visited Queensland/Brisbane, Australia and stayed for 11 months.  The Ambassadorial Scholar Program is one of Rotary's oldest and best known programs that promotes information and good will by studying abroad; promotes service above self as Ambassadors of Goodwill; and, develops humanitarian leaders by participating in Rotary Service Projects.  As a Rotary Ambassador, Kelli received her Master's Degree in International Public Health.  She learned about Rotary through her many travels, through Australia's District Conferences, Inbound and Outbound Scholar orientations and Rotary related research.  She served as an Ambassador of Goodwill by interacting daily with the host country, attending workshops and seminars, attending Interact and Rotaract meetings as well as giving many presentations.  She represented Service about Self as she volunteered her time helping with flood disaster relief efforts, ran a shelter-box fundraiser as well as ran Project NOW (Nurturing our Women).  She also went to the Soloman Island where she put her efforts into education, literacy and safe drinking water.  Kelli looks forward to a life long affiliation with Rotary!!!  Kelli - we salute you and your efforts!!!
