Rotary Club of Fillmore Learn about the Amarok Society
By Gazette Staff Writers — Thursday, January 23rd, 2025
Last week the Fillmore Rotary program was presented by Gem Munro, from Amarok Society, an international program the club has been sponsoring for three years. They are located in Bangladesh where the children are not educated at all. He and his wife started a school where they began by teaching the mothers and followed up with each mother teaching her children. There was a video of a young woman who started out this way and as she grew up, she began teaching and is now going to University. These women and children have gained confidence and are learning both languages and are now respected by their families and the community.
