February message

January was the 12th consecutive month without a reported case of polio in India, removing it from the list of polio endemic countries.  This brings the number of endemic countries to 3 from 4.  This is a significant milestone.   Our polio eradication effort is a perfect example of our ability to continue to work towards Rotary Foundation's mission.  The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.  As the RI President, Kalyan Banerjee, points out, we do not build peace by negotiating treaties or organizing demonstrations in the streets.  We build peace by our service through the Rotary Foundation's humanitarian and educational programs.  I urge all of you to support our foundation by volunteering and contributing to the Rotary Foundation.

In 2011-12, I will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity . I will ask you to search first within yourselves, to understand that all of us, everywhere, have the same dreams, the same hopes, the same aspirations, and similar dilemmas. When we understand, and truly feel, that others’ needs are the same as our own, we begin to understand how important our work is.................Together, we will Reach Within to Embrace Humanity . And in peace, harmony, and friendship, we will bring change – and a more joyful world.
