1. Saving mothers and children
2. Education and literacy
3. Narrowing the gender disparity
4. Clean water and sanitation
5. Supporting the local economies
6. Peace and conflict resolution.
Savi also talked about wanting to have a logo for her year as District Governor with the theme - "One World, One Rotary". She held a contest for students to design the logo and there were 65 entries. The winner of the contest was Riley McDaniel, a 7th grader at Benton Middle School in la Mirada -- a school for the arts. He was awarded a certificate by Rob Hitchcock and Mike McCaffrey presented him with a $100 award.
