Join us tomorrow, August 26th, as we welcome guest speaker Devankar Muhki. Mr. Muhki is currently a 4th year student at Wayne State University majoring in Public Health with a co-major in Conflict and Peace Studies. Devankar was President of the WSU Roteract Club from 2017-2019 and now serves as District 6400 Rotaract Representative. Devankar has started a project called Green Now Detroit (GND). This project aims to educate Detroit youth on do it yourself (DYI) sustainable strategies to fight climate change. The project was awarded Resolution Project’s Fellowship on Student Social Ventures. Not only will GND provide environmental education but it will also teach carbon footprint data skills and digital mapping abilities to aid in understanding environmental injustice. Devankar is putting together an operations team of young people and an advisory team comprised of professionals, professors, and anyone who is able to provide guidance (source for bio).
We are delighted to welcome Devankar to our meeting and cannot wait to hear about the upcoming Taking Action for Peace Conference in September. As many of you are aware, Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution is one of Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus. This will be the first year since the start of COVID that this conference has been able to take place in person. To learn more about the Taking Action for Peace Conference in Ann Arbor, click here.
