Rotaract, according to the Rotary website, is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary.This past weekend marked a huge accomplishment for Rotaract as it was invited by the Shanghai Charity Foundation to participate in a community service activity. The foundation is a government agency and works to raise funds that benefit charitable organizations through philanthropic endeavors that aid children, the elderly and disabled.
Members of Rotaract spent the day volunteering at a retirement home cleaning up the yard, 
making dumplings, and singing with the residents. In addition singing Chinese songs with the residents, there was also some karaoke. However, I was a bit too shy to participate and instead watched my group members perform. In total, there were three different teams. Each team consisted of Rotaract members, Chinese students, along with older Chinese people.
