Happiness
cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the
spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. Denis Waitley
Rotaract is good. Last week I was awarded a scholarship of $2500
by the Rotary club of Hays in Kansas just because I am a Rotaractor and because
I provided my Rotaract membership certificate, membership development committee
certificate and award I received. I will also be given to opportunity over the
next rotary year to speak to several rotary clubs around the state of Kansas.
Rotaract is good.

The whole
essence of service is to give without remembering the names or even faces of
the beneficiaries. It is important that the world speaks the language of peace
which is Service! To meet great speakers, listen to great speeches, learn great
lessons from the world’s greatest volunteers.
To share
fellowship with amazing friends who see the uniqueness in you, encourage your
talents and help you serve society better. To utilize the deep reach, to do
more good in our world; to share educate and give. This for me is the answer to
the question #whydidyoujoinrotaract
If you light a candle
for someone, it will also brighten your path. If service is below you, then
leadership is beyond you. Joining
Rotaract back then in my college days was one of the best decisions I ever made
as a young person.. In the 10 years and few months I spent in the club, it
helped me in so many ways; Rotaract has given me the opportunity to meet
amazing sets of people. I have grown in self-development, finding out the you
in me.
Why be afraid
to serve, Celebrate, Give?
At Rotaract, we build communities We bridge countries
We serve above self We cure disease We pump water We build minds We bring hope We
are rotaractors. We are trained to look within and embrace humanity, to
be the inspiration, to be gifts to our world, to light up the world, to build
communities and bridge continents; we are charged to serve humanity, to make a
difference by building peace through service.
Why?
Because we are the future of Rotary!
On 13th
March 1968, an idea was conceived, there was a need to balance the wisdom of
the old with the energy of the young, to further accentuate Rotary's service to
humanity. ROTARACT was coined from *ROTARy-in-ACTion” and since then it has
become Rotary's best kept secret. This is the foundations of the Golden Jubilee
being celebrated today.
There is this certain kind of adrenaline rush
in you when you are on the right path, a kind of power that enables - dunamis
that propels you to continue. I feel so this morning even though I want to
remain indoors after all the rigors of planning an executing a community
service project.
Rotaract
has evolved from just a youth program of Rotary to become its partners,
complimenting Rotary's efforts in the areas of Basic Literacy & education,
child and maternal health, economic and community development, water and
sanitation, peace and Conflict prevention and resolution, and disease
prevention.
The heart
that is wicked is that which cannot love. If you can love, then you can Serve,
Celebrate, Give Godson
