The Rotary Club Panama Sur was founded in June, 1971 as the second largest Rotary Club in Panama City. It is comprised of 85 active members in the 4240 District. Since its beginnings, our club has participated in numerous activities and projects that benefit the community and allows us, as a civic club to project our philosophy and our goals. Moreover, our mission statement, which is to lend a hand, to develop new friendships, to work in favor of those in social need, and the like, is congruent with the projects, programs, community assistance, funding events, charity events, and more that the Club carries out.

Some examples of these are: providing wheelchairs to the physically challenged members of the community who require financial assistance with them, providing medical assistance in marginal communities with medicines, and medical attention, construction of houses, schools, children's community cafeterias, sanitary units in detention centers, donation of computers, donation of electrical appliances and the like to the many homes and religious convents that we support.

Some of the educational programs that our club has promoted include merit awards, scholarships, photography contests, professional/career orientation, and many others that will assist children and youth to adapt into our society in an informed and guided manner. The Club has also promoted drug awareness programs, protect and maintain the city clean programs. Culture, Ecology, Natural Resources, Save the Planet, and several more issues are part of the Rotary Club's goals in working in the community. Shortly, we can say that solidarity, civism, morality, and values clarification are among our objectives in order to serve as good role model and leaders in our community.
