Here is a short video of three of the Impact Giving Award recipients up on Laguna Beach Patch. Rosalind is the third speaker.

The Rotary eClub of the West, District 5320, featured Rosalind Russell, Laguna Beach’s Goat Lady by sharing a story on their website. Many Rotarians do make up meetings at this club and Rosalind’s work is part of the inspiration they can read and learn. The many collaborations for the villages were by Rotary Clubs within our world. Their work has benefited many of the villages of the R Star Foundation. She has gladly worked with the Rotary Clubs to create literacy classes, cottage industries and brought in water wells for the entire District of Kavre as well being given 320 water filters for families in areas beyond the wells. “Rotary enhances and expands the work we do in Nepal,” states Russell. “Without the help of my Nepali son Rabindra, these collaborations could not be done.”

Reverend Rosalind Russell of R Star Foundation (affectionately known at “The Goat Lady”), and Joyce Hansen of Rising Star Outreach, will focus on the “star” qualities of volunteerism and honor several volunteers.
