From Nigeria to Taipei: A Rotarian’s Journey of Service and Friendship
Rabi Maidunama, founder of the Maidunama Sickle Cell Foundation, attended the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei. She joined over 38,000 Rotarians from around the world to share ideas on community development, health advocacy, and service above self. She proudly represented Nigeria under the national flag and forged new connections with fellow members. Between sessions, she explored Taipei’s temples, the iconic Taipei 101, night markets, and street food stalls, gaining fresh perspectives to bring back home. Despite language barriers, Rabi returned to Nigeria inspired by global best practices and strengthened by international friendships. Her experience will fuel her ongoing mission to support vulnerable communities living with sickle cell disorder.
