1. Is this worth trying here?

What we hope will change: Connects a local club's verified contribution to a wider international project story, showing interdependence without claiming ownership of community-led outcomes.

What is happening in our club or community now?What is the smallest useful version we could try? What will we leave out?

Things our club needs to check
Question	What it means for us	Who will check	Done?
Centre community and in-country partner agency and avoid poverty imagery, saviour language or claims that Rotary alone created change.

Critical — inaccurate or extractive international storytelling can harm communities, partners, funds and Rotary credibility.
