She wants to carry out her family tradition of doing great work in Rotary just like her sister Rtn. Amita Nene. Our next new member is Reshma Sambare who holds Engineering and Law degrees from India and US and has done exceptional work with youth and women in tribal areas and victims of domestic violence. She described problems faced by Asian women in US. They suffer from domestic violence, leading to visa deprivation, poverty and other problems.

Aarya wished to join Rotary in keeping with her family tradition. She said she is keenly interested in doing work for the benefit of the society, for which Rotary provides a channel.
