Beijing Rotary Club and Stephan Rothlin

Stephan Rothlin

Our lunch at the Kempinski Hotel on 27 September had as speaker Stephan Rothlin. He made a presentation on Corporate Philanthropy in China. It is his third visit to our club.

Dr. Rothlin is the CEO and Founder of Rothlin International Management CSR Consulting in Beijing and Director of the Macau Ricci Institute at Saint Joseph University, Macau.
As the current situation of corporate philanthropy in China appears to be more in flux and continues to develop rapidly, the initial phase of the Corporate Philanthropy Project is to study closely key aspects of philanthropic giving in China by foreign-based multinational corporations doing business here.
The research aims to make philanthropy and the commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility more visible and public and to lay the groundwork for corporations and their related NGO or government affiliated partners who excel in their proven track record of positive contributions and impact to the larger society to be given credit and wider public recognition.

Rotaract Beijing August meetings

Rotaract Beijing still active in August!

During the “holidays”, that is for the students, Rotaract West Club did not meet but many joined the Rotaract Sanlitun meetings. Recently we met in TUCTUC, the Thai restaurant in front of De Refter and QMex in Sanlitun.

Pretty lively meetings with our Sanlitun President Peter (or Petre if you prefer). And wide mix of nationalities. See the meetings of 1 and 29 August.

Rotaract Club Beijing, nursing homes and Lyrics Cafe

Our Rotaract Club has now changed its meeting spot to Lyrics Cafe in SOHO Sanlitun.
The meetings are well attended by a wide mix of nationalities, all young and enthusiastic volunteers – France, Belgium, Holland, France, Zimbabwe, Germany, Guyana, Kazakhstan… and more.
As mentioned earlier, one of the projects is paying regular visits to a nursing home in Beijing. See here also some of their idea related to nursing homes. On 22 November 2015 they made a movie at Long Zhen Senior Care, for retired seniors, in Laiguangying. Name of the movie: The Missing Ring.

See here pics from the meetings on 25 January and 1 February.
