This past Saturday, RCOF members along with members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.: Delta Epsilon Sigma Chapter Nassau Bahamas conducted part two of our clean up and demolition of the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre's greenhouse; one of many community service projects.
Our beloved Rotary provides us with an array of resources that ensures that our service to humanity, not only makes a difference but inspires those that we serve.
In September, Rotarians place emphasis on the importance and value of basic education, literacy and our young generation.
In the words of Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai:
“One Child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world”
It is estimated that one billion people-one sixth of the world’s population – are unable to read. Illiteracy among adults and children is a global concern in both highly industrialized nations and developing countries. The tragedy of illiteracy is that those who cannot read are denied personal independence and they become victims of unscrupulous manipulation, poverty and the loss of human dignity. Illiteracy is demeaning, it is a major obstacle to achieving economic, political, social, and personal development and is a barrier to international understanding, cooperation and global peace.
Countless Rotaractors have undertaken innovative and creative literacy projects which we could easily tap into by partnering with them, to help us tackle these issues in our communities. Therefore, let us share our love for Rotary, by empowering our new generations, so that together we can inspire positive change globally.
“When love is infused into our actions, we do not stop to question the time or money we are sacrificing. We are inspired to do more, to give more. Love is the motivating force behind all of Rotary’s best work.”
