Alex Kanamu is serving his second term as president of the Rotary Club of Wahiawa-Waialua, which is even more admirable because he has been a member of the RCWW for only 4 years. Prior to being president, he was the chair of the Membership Committee. He has been a resident of Wahiawa for 29 years and is the owner of Highway Response, a towing company that is family-owned and run. Alex said that he initially got involved in Rotary because he enjoyed talking to people who had nothing to do with his business. 
What is it like taking a large team to Africa? It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.
