Corazón Exprés is a charitable association who helps those families in situations of emergency. They help transform lives through immediate action, where other sources don´t reach quickly enough.
Rotary Club International L’Alfàs del Pi was formed in 2017. Across the world, Rotary International connects people, connecting 1.4 million members worldwide; Rotary transforms communities with 47 million volunteer hours worldwide each year; they fund sustainable projects, with 333 million dollars for global services in 2020-2021.
Rotary Club International L’Alfàs del Pi has formed a collaborating association with Corazón Exprés, called A Rotary Community Corps (RCC). An RCC is a group of non-Rotarians who share our commitment to changing the world through service projects.
RCC members plan and carry out projects in their communities and support local Rotary club projects. Sponsored by a Rotary club, an RCC leverages Rotary’s network, brand, and mentorship by partnering with clubs to plan and implement service projects. RCCs increase Rotary’s impact and expand its reach by bringing the knowledge and talents of local people to strengthen their community through sustainable projects.
There are more than 11,000 corps in 105 countries and 257 districts. RCCs are active everywhere Rotary is present: in urban and rural areas, and in both developed and developing countries. Read more about RCC trends worldwide in the annual Rotary Community Corps report.
The club has created an environmental project concentrated on beach cleaning, and in collaboration with Sun Palace Hotel & Spa, we have helped to start a chang in hotel habits away from plastics and using sustainable products. They are currently raising funds to help Ukrainian refugees arriving in La Marina area and to collaborate with local clubs in Ukraine with the aftermath of the war.
Rotary Club International L’Alfàs del Pi is a small and young club with limited resources, although we strive to be as active as possible. This year's motto is: "Serve to change lives."
