ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT MAY 2024 MESSAGE

The first glimmers of a lasting change

I am deeply gratified by Rotary magazine’s focus on mental health in this edition – and I’m ecstatic about the enthusiasm shown across the world in the past year to better support the mental health needs of each other and the people we serve.

In January 2023 when I first spoke about the need for Rotary to become more engaged on this crisis, I noted that the global mental health system couldn’t be described as broken only because it didn’t exist. But I also offered a highly aspirational wish that Rotary could help build that system.

The first glimmers of this vision have been brought to light by you in dozens of mental health projects. But just as important is the invitation many of you have given to fellow Rotary members to share their stories.

I am impressed by the leadership young Rotarians and Rotaractors have shown, and some of their brave, inspiring stories are highlighted in these pages. Former Rotaractor Freddie Almazan has an especially powerful personal narrative that you can learn about here – and hear firsthand at this month’s Rotary International Convention in Singapore.

You can read in this issue about a great example of a project with the kind of sustainable impact that creates lasting change: Rotaray clubs in Colorado endowing a pediatric mental health fellowship at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

At the convention, you can also hear from 2024 People of Action honorees lauded for the impact they and their clubs have made through mental health initiatives. Bindi Rajasegaran will talk about a Rotary-led project in Malaysia helping children develop skills to cope with mental health challenges and building capacity for support throughout the country.

In addition, Rita Aggarwal, an officer of the Rotary Action Group on Mental Health Initiatives, will be recognized for her success in applying the Wellness in a Box framework, a mental health literacy approach for adolescents, in her hometown of Nagpur, India. Read about the project in the “Stand by me” feature. This highly scalable and clinically backed framework can be adapted for use just about anywhere – reach out to the action group if your club would like to support or implement it.

As we look ahead, the Rotary Action Group on Mental Health Initiatives will play a critical leadership role in promoting proven, measurable projects. In doing so, it will empower clubs to focus on initiatives that drive scalable, sustainable impact.

After you’ve read through the magazine, I invite you to go to the Leanrning enter on My Rotary and check out the Increase Your Impact series, which includes a wonderful short video explaining impact. When we focu on impacg, we bring Rotary’s vision statement to life, creating lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

MESSAGE

Service at the center

There’s something magical about Rotary. Even after all these years of being a member, I continue to be amazed by it.

Take successful leaders from various backgrounds and professions and bring them together under a set of core values with service at the center. Add networks and friendship and then watch the magic start happening.

It’s you – Rotarians and Rotaractors – who make that magic happen. You are the business and community leaders and the entrepreneurs who bring your passions, skills, and interests to everything we do. It’s you who think outside the box and apply what you know to serve others.

I see the same magic in Rotary Foundation grants that are funded by you and led by you.

It’s present in the partnership between Rotary clubs in Canada and Uganda that supports economic and community development and vocational training at the same time. This global grant-funded initiative trains Ugandan youths in welding and related skills to make wheelchairs for a children’s home serving people with disabilities. Technicians receive training in Canada and return home with valuable skills to start enterprises, helping meet the need for wheelchairs in the community.

Another global grant-supported project that reflects Rotary’s entrepreneurial spirit is in Guatemala. To address the challenges of limited internet access for rural schools, a host club in Guatemala partnered with Irish members to initiative a project that is equipping six schools and three community centers in the rural Solola area with plug-and-play servers containing educational materials like books and videos. The grant also furnishes laptops and uninterruptible power supplies and trains teachers, benefitting about 1,800 individuals as it leverages technology for literacy and education.

Don’t forget: Foundation global grants also support scholarships. One such scholarship, sponsored by Italian and German clubs, focuses on artificial intelligence in disease prevention and treatment. Italian scholar Salvatore Galati conducted research at a university in Bonn, Germany, using AI algorithms to analyze vast datasets for innovative drug development. Such computer-aided approaches can reduce costs and research time in the development of lifesaving drugs.

It's fantastic to see us innovating and incorporating new approaches and technology into our Foundation grants.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the 2024 Rotary International Convention in Singapore in a few short weeks, where we will learn about new opportunities to serve and innovate. It will be a chance to celebrate that Rotary magic and the many ways we Create Hope in the World.

BARRY RASSIN Foundation Trustee Chair

SERVICE ABOVE SELF – THE OBJECT OF ROTARY

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

ROTARY’S FOCUS ON YOUTH MONTH OF MAY

https://www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/youth-programs

Interact Clubs

Take action, build international understanding, and make new friends around the world.

Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12 to 18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. Find out how serious leadership can be seriously fun.

What are the benefits?

Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:

• Take action to make a difference in your school and community

• Discover new cultures and promote international understanding

• Become a leader in your school and community

• Have fun and make new friends from around the world

What’s involved?

Interact clubs organize at least two projects every year, one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. Rotary club sponsors mentor and guide interactors as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.

Celebrate the global impact of Interact by getting involved in:

• World Interact Week – during the week of November 5

• Interact Video Awards

• Rotary Youth Day at the United Nations

• Global Youth Service Day

From Rotary International, here’s a video message from our current President, Gordon McInally. Click here or the photo below to visit the page, scroll down until you reach the video – then press Play.

Statement of Conduct for Working With Youth

Rotary International strives to create and maintain a safe environment for all youth who participate in Rotary activities. To the best of their ability, Rotary members, their partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the children and young people with whom they come into contact and protect them from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.

Rotary's approach to preventing abuse

The safety and well-being of young people and youth program participants are Rotary's highest priority. Our comprehensive approach to youth protection includes:

• No tolerance for abuse or harassment of young people

• Policies that prevent misconduct and outline how to respond to grooming behaviors and abuse that involve youth and other program participants

• Mandatory youth protection training for governors-elect

• A dedicated and trained staff that uses a trauma-informed approach when receiving and responding to reports of sexual abuse or harassment

• A certification process that requires Rotary districts involved in Rotary Youth Exchange to have:

• Student, family, and volunteer training in abuse prevention

• Volunteer screening that includes an application, criminal background check, and reference checks

• A process for reporting allegations of abuse and harassment to Rotary and local law enforcement

• District-specific youth protection policies

• On-site evaluations (audits) that are conducted by Rotary staff members

Rotary is committed to fostering environments that are safe and positive for young people and free from discrimination and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Our clubs are the heart of Rotary!

Our clubs are the heart of Rotary. At weekly meetings, members catch up with friends, hear what’s happening in our communities, and share plans and exchange ideas for creating lasting change.

Your club connection gives you the chance to develop skills like public speaking, project management, and event planning. You’ll meet interesting people from your community and around the world. And you’ll tackle local and international issues that are important to you and your fellow club members.

E-clubs

If meeting at a brick-and-mortar location isn’t feasible, then a Rotary e-club might be right for you. Like other Rotary clubs, e-clubs meet weekly, carry out service projects, support The Rotary Foundation, and socialize. But instead of meeting in person, they connect through the Internet.

Check out the weekly posted meeting of Rotary E-Club of Canada One.

International Connections

You can expand your club connections to the world by developing a twin club relationship, organizing a Friendship Exchange, joining a Rotary Action Group or Rotary Fellowship, or hosting an Open World visit. With more than 35,000 Rotary clubs worldwide, you have a friend in Rotary wherever you go.

Find more ideas for making an international connection.

Twin clubs

Twin clubs, or sister clubs, are two clubs from different countries that form a long-term relationship to promote international understanding and goodwill and carry out service projects in their communities. When looking for a partner, consider clubs that:

• Share similar interests, challenges, or history

• You’ve worked with in the past

• Are located in a place that matches your club’s service interests

• Speak a common language

Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE)

Explore new cultures and discover diverse perspectives by participating in a Friendship Exchange, a self-funded international exchange opportunity for Rotary members and their families. Taking part in an exchange is a wonderful way to make new friends and establish international service partnerships.

Wild Polio Virus (WPV) and Vaccine-derived Polio Virus. (VDPV)

Three Minutes for a Dog

My Life in an Iron Lung

by Paul R. Alexander

Contrary to popular belief Polio is not extinct.

This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges.

Paul Alexander’s life is a saga that started in 1946 and has been profoundly shaped by the Polio epidemic of the early 1950s. Survivors of the 1950’s Polio Epidemic in America are rare.

Polio victims, like Paul Alexander, who require the assistance of an “Iron Lung” respirator for their life’s breath are even rarer.

Paul Alexander has crafted his life against all odds and has a courageous and compelling story to share with us all. Victims of Polio, their families, friends, and communities are struggling to cope with this obscure but still dangerous infectious disease.

This book is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an affirmation of the need to continue efforts to eradicate the pestilence of Polio from the planet.

The last man to live in an iron lung, he contracted polio in 1952 at the age of six.

From Wikipedia - Paul Richard Alexander was an American paralytic polio survivor, lawyer and writer. The last man to live in an iron lung, he contracted polio in 1952 at the age of six. Alexander earned a bachelor's degree and Juris Doctor at the University of Texas at Austin and was admitted to the bar in 1986. Wikipedia

Born: January 1946, Dallas, Texas, United States

Died: March 11, 2024 (age 78 years), Dallas, Texas, United States

Join the Make Polio History campaign by raising your voice in support of polio eradication to tell donors, polio-affected country governments and other global partners that eradication is possible and urgently needed now.

The WASH Rotary Action Group was formed in 2007 by a group of Rotarians, recognized by Rotary International, and focused on WASH projects. Since then, it has facilitated many hundreds of projects – helping clubs find partners, ensuring sustainability, stressing the importance of a needs-driven approach, and developing best practices.

We encourage a holistic, integrated approach in which water is not the end in itself but is rather the means to a better life and livelihood in the community.

Most importantly, WASH Rotary Action Group links water and sanitation to improved hygiene, better health, and empowerment of the community – especially women, irrigation and agriculture, education and literacy and, ultimately, child mortality.

OUR CLUB PROJECTS HELPING MIGRANT WORKERS

The Passport Club of District 6330 is happy to be continuing our successful service project, Backpacks for Migrant Workers. More information to follow.

North Lambton Community Health Care created the Migrant Worker Project to support the 700 migrant workers working in Sarnia and Lambton County Our club is working with the Project Coordinator, Andrea Jones-Peper, by providing backpacks for newly arriving workers.

We will fill the backpacks with items requested by workers, such as toiletries. Our club will request a district grant to increase our impact.

A GREAT SUCCESS – CUP OF KINDNESS

We also are continuing our successful club project – a Cup of Kindness. The club chose to make a substantial impact on reducing food insecurity with a project aimed at raising funds for Food Banks in our individual communities.

Each member will “fill a Cup of Kindness" by filling a cup or two cups (or more) with coins, hopefully loonies and toonies, then donating the funds to their local food bank. Or choose to make donations directly to those in need. Donations should be rewarded with a tax receipt. The results will be tallied regularly. With the success of this project, we are planning to keep it going.

Rotarians, friends, and relatives are encouraged to help members fill the cups in support of this excellent project!

And another important topic focusing on Young People –

This gentleman spoke at Rotary Club of Sarnia recently

A Sarnia pastor is sounding the alarm about human sex trafficking in the Sarnia-Lambton community.

Almost 65% of trafficking in Canada occurs in Ontario, much of it along the 401/402 highway corridor, says Deve Persad of Sarnia Evangelical Missionary Church on Talfourd Street.

His church is working with the Sexual Assault Survivors Centre Sarnia/Lambton and the Coalition Against Human Trafficking Sarnia/Lambton to raise awareness and ultimately open a safe house for local survivors, Persad said Tuesday.

Local Victim Services report assisting 18 survivors of human trafficking in 2022 and 15 in 2023, he said, speaking to about 35 members of the Rotary Club of Sarnia at the Dante Club.

Persad suggested those numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.

“One is too many…Just as domestic violence increased during the pandemic, so has human trafficking,” he said. Studies show over 90% of females being trafficked in Canada are Canadian-born girls and women, said Persad. And 91% of victims of police-reported human trafficking incidents knew their trafficker, according to Public Safety Canada. Click

CBC Television. Also, recently on CBC Gem, The Passionate Eye aired a program entitled Trafficked Voices. It’s a very educational and interesting story about Trafficking in our area – and it’s there right in front of us. We are obliged to take notice.

This link below should find it for you – but you may have to sign in or sign up – I’m not sure.

https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/the-passionate-eye/human-trafficking-is-one-of-the-fastest-growing-crimes-in-canada-and-anyonecan-be-a-target-1.7023920

For your further interest, there is a Rotary Club organized to try to end human trafficking.

You might find it interesting to investigate the club and its projects. Click here.

If you do a Google search, you will find some startling statistics!

Since 2011, more than four in ten (45%) incidents of human trafficking were reported to police in four CMAs:

• Toronto (776 incidents, 22% of all incidents in Canada),

• Ottawa (345, 10% of all incidents),

• Montréal (245, 7% of all incidents) and

• Halifax (216, 6% of all incidents).

During the same time period (2011 to 2021), the average annual rate of human trafficking was highest in Thunder Bay and Halifax (5.5 and 4.5 incidents per 100,000 population, respectively). This was followed by Peterborough (3.6), Ottawa (3.0), Windsor (2.4), Barrie (2.4) and St. Catharines–Niagara (2.3).
