Be a Fren, Not a Bully: Rotary’s Role in Building Safer Schools

Bullying isn’t just a schoolyard problem—it’s a community challenge that demands bold action. In this episode of Voices of District 7020, host Rotarian Nerissa Persaud sits down with Past President Tamara Chang-Bromley, our District Membership Attraction Chair, to explore the powerful Be a Fren, Not a Bully initiative.

Born from the Mentoring and Training Leaders for Tomorrow Programme in partnership with the Rotary Club of Liguanea Plains, this campaign is more than awareness—it’s a movement. From peace murals and music to empowering students through art, literacy, and empathy, the initiative is transforming schools into safer, more inclusive spaces for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

Together, we unpack how Rotary’s values of peace, inclusion, and service come alive through this project, why community partnerships are the real currency of change, and how service like this can inspire new generations of leaders.

✨ Whether you’re a Rotarian, educator, parent, or changemaker, this conversation will spark ideas on how you too can recognize needs and transform lives.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired to take action—because when Rotary steps up, entire communities rise.
