Who’s Writing This?
Hello everyone, I’m Sai
Ramesh, editor for the
North Brunswick
Township Key Club
2012-2013. Key Club
June 2, 2012
has always served as a
source of entertainment
for me, ever since I
joined. It’s a place away
from giant math
textbooks and research
papers, in school! A
place where we help the
community, while having
lots of fun! A place
where we get together
with our friends, and
make a change. I want
to show my dedication
to you all through my
newsletters, which
highlights all the events
that have occurred so
far, and events to come.
Wow, this is the first
newsletter I’ve ever
written… Well, here it
goes!

Influential person of the month
It’s great to watch the news and
see people who make a change
in society. People are always
commended for their good
deeds they commit. Key Club is
all about good deeds and
making a difference, so let’s look
at one man who has made a
change in society; Derreck
Kayongo.
Approximately 2 million people
die a year because of diarrheal
disease. If you can’t picture that
in your head, think about all of
San Antonio’s population dying.
Sounds bad right?
Kayongo has an Atlanta based
soap project, which collects used
hotel soap from all around
America. The soap is valueless in
our eyes, but Kayongo had a
different vision. He came to
America and saw how the soap
was discarded without even
having anyone use it. He wished
to make a difference
immediately. Due to lack of
sanitation, people in
impoverished countries face
deathly diseases. He wished to
then distribute the soap to assist
those who couldn’t afford the
gift of life. So far, Kayongo
managed to deliver 100,000 bars
of soap for communities in 9
countries. This is why, Kayongo
has been nominated to be the
2012 CNN hero. People like him
show us what initiative is, and
how we should step up and find
small things that can lead to
large impacts. Let’s take this
man as a role model for the next
service year!
Thousands of children,
such as this one, are
suffering in
impoverished nations.

Farewell and thank you!
Key Club went by really
successfully last year,
and we must say farewell
to the wonderful board
members that made Key
Club such a success!
Thanks to Akshat Podar,
who worked efficiently as
our treasurer! Another
thanks to Spencer Lin,
who was a phenomenal
web-master! Their efforts
made a great impact in
our community,
Our Key Club
and they made the
service year very
enjoyable!
Mo Haji!
He is truly inspirational, and
displays what a true Key Club
leader should aim for.
Mohammad Haji is the new
Lieutenant Governor for District
10 Key Club. It’s pretty cool that
he’s from our school, which will
benefit us greatly next year! He
plans “to make major
contributions to the Key Club
community.” He also plans on
exceeding his own expectations,
while making this a great service
year. Mo’s efforts and
experience throughout the past
years in Key Club should
motivate us to dedicate
ourselves to service, just as he
does!
Next year, I plan on making a
Key Clubber of the month
section to acknowledge those
who are truly dedicated to Key
Club! Let’s see if you can get
your face on here next time!
