Rotary and The Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset

The Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset was formed by several Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Waikiki in 1995.  The idea was to form the first Rotary Club in Hawaii to meet in the evenings after work for fellowship and fun.  The idea turned out to be a wonderful success with the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset being recognized for sustained superior service to our local and global communities...while having fun.  Our service spans the globe with projects on almost every continent and future projects being regularly developed.  Notable service includes Hawaii's first Vocational Training Team.  A VTT works to provide transformative vocational education to professionals resulting in significant regional impact.  Our VTT brought physicians from the University of Virginia (and subsequently from other professional organizations) to Romaina to support the development of a Pediatric Craiofacial Reconstructive Surgery Unit to a hospital in Iasi, Romania.  Surgeries are required to correct malformations due to inadequate prenatal care and nutrition.  Inclusive in this educational program was the concept of team provided care...

VTT led by Rotarians Rich Zegar and Daniel Murariau.

The Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset continues to be active running global service activities and projects in Malawi, Africa; Nepal and Bhutan
