00:00Rotary International has kicked off its annual convention in Taipei.
00:30Taipei was meant to host the event in 2021, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:36Rotary focuses on humanitarian work like polio eradication, disaster relief and fighting poverty.
00:42Local chapters in Taiwan also hope to showcase how they are making a difference at home.
00:47It's like they maybe bring water resources to those mountainous areas. Maybe they will help the aged people by bringing
00:57them food, the old people that stay alone at home.
01:02And maybe sometimes they help the education in the remote areas.
01:09Organizers expect around 40,000 people to attend from 140 countries between 13th and 17th of July.
