Rotary Helps and continues to help...



Helping our Neighbours More Often

Local Service Clubs and Cayman's corporate community have a long history of generosity to the many charities and non-profits in the Cayman Islands.

Charities address needs on a large level, however we should reminded that helping our neighbours is a lifestyle that helped build these islands.

Recently, Sebastian Guilbard of the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman and John Felder of Cayman Automotive reacted to a request for a cancer victim. It was a simple request, but one who would make this proud Caymanian pioneer comfortable as he fights such a ruthless disease.

Henry Mansfield Conolly has been fighting cancer since 2005 and he needed a recliner to be comfortable. How many people are there around us all who's life could be greatly enhanced or made more comfortable by such a simple gesture of good neighbourly love?

“The family of Mr. Henry Conolly was overwhelmed with the generosity of the donation of the Recliner to him. Words cannot express what this gesture meant. It has helped enhance his daily quality of life tremendously and for this we are very grateful. Yes Angels do exist among us as , “We give Service above Self ” - message from the family.

Rotarian Director, John Felder, a cancer surviver himself, made the presentation to the family of Mr. Conolly and encourages everyone to get involved in the needs of the people around you. After all, sharing is caring.
