To the Rotarians worldwide, I am sure that the name rings
bells. Can you imagine that I was only
in the country for under 24 hours and not only did I get to attend a district-wide
meeting, I was honored to hear speeches from both Wilfrid Wilkinson, current Rotary Foundation
Chair, and also Kalya Banerjee, past
Rotary International President. To those
who do not know, it is through the generous contributions and dedication of my
sponsoring District 7600 to the Rotary Foundation that I am blessed to have
this Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to study abroad. So being able to attend a meeting with the
Foundation Chair and also the past Rotary International President it was indeed
quite a treat. It is Rotary
International and the Foundation that connects Rotarians worldwide. It was quite encouraging hearing from the District
Governor, Raja Seenivasan of 3230 and all of the wonderful initiatives they are
working on here in Chennai and for their contributions to the Rotary
Foundation. The level of commitment, and
dedication to the Happy Villages project, their district giving, and also
membership increases is reassuring that I was assigned to this great district
as my host. I look forward to the time I
will spend getting to share in projects, activities, and meetings. Thank you for your hospitality to the Rotary
Foundation and Rotarians worldwide. I
extend a special thanks to District 7600 and the Bonair Club that is sponsoring
me without your contributions this opprotunity would not be possible, and a
warm welcome and thank you to District 3230 that is hosting me. It has indeed been a delight in such a short
time J.
Yes, that is me, stealing my way into the picture…hahaha…at
first I didn’t know who he was…keep in mind it took me 4 days to get here with
lots of plane cancelations…and jetlag.
And once I did realize who I was looking at, I definitely wouldn’t miss
my photo op J,
even if he was posing for another camera J.
