      Question is…what do you really do for the BVI?
      Do you go out and assist the needy? Do you participate in cleanups in your community?
      OR…are you one to throw trash out of your vehicle contributing to our litter problem? Do you help with going green to save our planet? Look at yourself and how you can contribute to having a better living environment for you, your family and loved ones, and for us all. We all need to look at ourselves and help to make this world a better place to live. Share love and peace.

    This is a really good man here. All the best with your turn. Just look out for the less fortunate and help those that are in need and not greed. You know where you came from so show those values and make mummy proud.

    FYI, The Rotary Club of Tortola recently donated blood bank equipment, so we don't have to wait for Puerto Rico to send us blood every time there is a need among many other important contributions to the BVI and beyond. Contact any member and we can share the good news.
