When a seed is planted.

Jennifer Levy was our lunch speaker on August 16^th.

It was in October 2003 that Jennifer received the Kent Rotary Student of the Month for Community Service.  That same year Jennifer was the chartering President of the Kenwood Interact Club.

Now fast forward – Jennifer has graduated from the University of Washington, and is studying abroad in Costa Rica and Argentina as she completes her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Columbia University in NYC.

During her studies, she never forgot about her roots in Interact and serving the community.

Last year she formed and is now the President of Los Abuelitos, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, that works to support underserved elderly populations in need around the world.

Senior citizens are often overlooked, especially the ones that have no family.  Los Abuelitos coordinates volunteers that provide companionship and physical therapy to the people who need it and deserve it the most. 

When Rotary plants a seed, it reaches for the sky.
