November, the month the Rotary Foundation.

October 27, 2010 Dear friends in Rotary,

NOVEMBER AND 'THE MONTH DEDICATED TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION.


The Arch. C. Klumph, Rotary's sixth president in 1917 establishing an endowment fund for humanitarian and educational initiatives. It was only the beginning of a great adventure.
congress in Minneapolis, 1928, the endowment fund became something more concrete, an internal structure independent of who took the name "Rotary".


After the death of Paul Harris, which took place in Chicago in 1947, the large Donations to the Foundation in his honor did the real arm of Rotary in the World. The Foundation, with such availability, launched a special program called "Ambassadorial Scholarship, and began to call the participating students" Paul Harris Fellow.
Later in 1957 the directors of the Foundation created the award of "Paul Harris Fellow, Foundation for donors who pay $ 1,000. It was a real success.

Today awarded the PHF are over one million.
Over the years the Foundation has implemented important initiatives is that local application of thick world. The most famous and important one dedicated to the eradication of Polio from the world.
A structure so important to stay updated with the times, could not stand still, static. That is why major changes now taking place: the transformation under way is the right step to get better in the future.
This transformation plan, called its "Future Vision Plan," fundamentally change the way to operate and manage the future of the Foundation.
We will have a foundation other than the one yesterday, from today, which is not yet that of tomorrow. A Rotary Foundation which will provide the most innovative and ambitious media to carry out humanitarian work in their community and abroad.

Its goals, however, not changed, as it will not change, I am sure our support. We are ready for the future, without denying anything of the past! Through the Foundation we have collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for a world without polio, we have spent countless hours to mobilize volunteers to immunize children and, after many sacrifices, we have almost achieved our objective, we have come a few steps from the goal. We must persevere and be even tougher for the future and the new "Future Vision Plan" will take us in new challenges.

A those who say that the Foundation calls too, that our commitment is fairly costly, I would point out some significant information.
Worldwide one billion people suffer from malnutrition and more than 20,000 human beings die every day from hunger. Over one billion people lack access to safe drinking water and every five minutes a child goes blind. Approximately 880 million adults can not read or write and 42 million people are infected with HIV-AIDS. Millions suffer from tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. And if that were not enough, 20 wars in which more than 300,000 child soldiers fighting, forcing 35 million people to flee and seek refuge in other countries. These are the numbers more meaningful that should prompt us to reflect Rotarians, we can not, we must not flinch, we can not afford to lose this challenge if we really believe in that "service" for which we have entered the Rotary. Otherwise we are just a facade Rotarians!
But I believe that we often lack the conviction of the utility of the Foundation: a thing that we often forget is that we do not give ourselves "to" but we give Foundation "through" the Foundation !
The RF is, dear friends, is the tool that allows all of us, with a little sacrifice, to do great things, which alone can never achieve! We
believe, all together, because the message that Rotary Paul Harris has left us is that of service to be available to give to others without expecting a return.
"Serve" means to deprive us of selfishness in Rotary, reach out to others means to promote the culture of the gift, capable of merging the belief of homo economicus with that homo donator, allowing, thus, to satisfy the strong need for greater social development, greater equality among all peoples of the world. This
our behavior open to solidarity, aimed at the most disadvantaged, is, after the friendship, the true purpose Rotary. Within the perspective of wanting to meet new challenges of the third millennium we find the new strategy of our Association which, through the operating arm of the RF, will face new challenges to the problems of globalization.
This is our next project of life, practical application of the "philosophy of Rotary," which will, as we know, the following priorities:
- emergency water
- health,
- hunger,
- literacy.
The Foundation is preparing for an unprecedented change, to exploit new opportunities and bring the Rotary to achieve new results towards goals unattained before.
A Foundation for the Future ", even more efficient and ready to respond to major challenges, thanks to the enthusiastic support and participation of all Rotarians.
The Foundation must not forget also pressing ahead with a great goal that can easily be translated with the motto: "Doing good in the world."
try, dear friends and girlfriends to do the most good possible, wherever we are and the means at our disposal. This is our commitment!
Thank you!
Mario
