A Nepal Relief Fund has been developed by the Marblehead Harbor Rotary (MHR) to provide humanitarian assistance after the devastating floods.
MHR has a long-standing relationship with the Dhulikhel Nepal Rotary. After the 2015 earthquakes, three MHR members, led by Margo Steiner, participated in a Habitat for Humanity trip in the Dhulikhel area. This relationship was strengthened by Rotarian Dr. Patricia Sullivan, who was teaching and consulting at the physical therapy department at Kathmandu University. Her Rotarian and physical therapy colleagues requested her help with providing rehabilitation for the injured living in rural areas. With her MHR, Dhulikhel Rotary, and Kathmandu University colleagues, she wrote and implemented a Rotary Foundation Global Grant to provide that care.
Madelyn Battcock-Emerson, who graduated from Boston University in May 2024, was chosen to represent District 7930 as the 2026 Global Scholar in the Rotary Foundation’s Area of Focus of the Environment. She will be pursuing her MSc in Plant Biotechnology with a specialization in Molecular Plant Breeding and Pathology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands.
