My family of Rotary, This is the month that RI officially dedicated to the youth, hence emphasising their importance to Rotary and mankind. Since I embarked on my journey as DG two months ago, I have been honored to interact with vibrant young people who are eager to serve. I have basked in their excitement, secure in the knowledge that they will be here long after we have retired, and Rotary

will be in safe hands.

However I have also met vulnerable youngsters of all kinds. Some have families that are too poor to take care of them; some

are themselves taking care of their aged parents while others have no family and are roaming the streets hoping to meet a kind-hearted stranger who can drop them something to eat. These, also, are our children and I’m glad that Rotarians worldwide are dedicated to helping them.

We are all doing what we can, but we are still miles away from getting to the ideal situation. My appeal to you this month is to increase our efforts and do more for our young people. It warms my heart to see Rotaractors and Interactors going out of their way to help the needy. Let us empower them to do even more; visit them in their Clubs, talk to them, prepare them to become good Rotarians and show them the way that will lead to a greater Rotary. Let us join them in planning for their projects, and we should not stop at giving them financial support but go an extra mile and ensure that they know what is expected of them; the ethical standards they should live by and adherence to The Four Way Test. We should also let them understand that they can count on us for guidance and support.

Fellow Rotarians, it is only when the youth are groomed and empowered that we can engage them in Rotary to change lives. There is no one else to nurture our Rotaractors and Interactors except ourselves. It is our responsibility, as Rotarians, to secure the future of Rotary. The major means of doing this is by building capacity through our youth. Let us afford them the opportunity to have a positive impact on our communities. As we get more children off the streets and give meaning to their lives; as we feed the hungry and comfort the aged, let us engage the youth.

DG KATONGOLE’S MESSAGE FOR SEPTEMBER

YOUTH SERVICE MONTH

By Stephen Yafa Couple venture outside comfort zone to bring aid to Odworo in Northern Uganda

The journey that led Steve and Vicky to Odworo began with a polio immuniza-tion trip to northern Nigeria in 2005. The Wallaces–members of RC of Lake Elsinore, California, and Rotary Foundation Major Donors–had rarely traveled outside the United States, but the experience would change their lives. “We were not ready for it in any way,” Vicky recalls. “Polio sufferers crawling in the dirt, children digging through garbage for something to eat.” When they returned to their sunny California suburb, they stayed home for four days and revised their plans for the future. “We knew we were going to downsize our lives,” explains Steve, past governor of Rotary District 5330, “and do humanitarian service from then on.” Two years later, the district’s multiyear project committee asked the Wallaces to get the district involved in an international service effort. There was a single stip-ulation: They had to choose a village that had never received any outside help. After seeing five other potential project sites in four countries, the couple traveled to Odworo, where the need was great. The villagers were sick, malnourished, and so lethargic, Vicky says. Malaria was rampant. The nearest potable water source was 2 miles away on foot. They had no farming tools and no livestock. The village still had not recovered from devastating raids of the past decades. The Wallaces learned that the survivors of Odworo called their home “the forgotten village.” With support from Mark Howison, 2007-08 governor of District 5330, the Wallaces helped start a Rotary Community Corps in the village, which has ad-vised the Rotary members on local needs. Clubs in the district have raised about $23,000 for projects in the village. Throughout the process, the Rotary Club of Kampala-West has provided critical support. Club members have worked with District 5330 to obtain Rotary Foundation grants for water and sanitation pro-jects, including one to repair nine broken borehole wells.

The Wallaces return to Odworo every year. And on one such visit—an elder had something to say about the many village projects under way: “You didn’t bring us a fish,” he told them with a broad smile. “You brought us a fishing line.”

In the Rotary year 2013—2014, the Youth Service Committee of the Rotary Club of Kampala Naalya (RCKNA) has set for itself the following targets:

The establishment of 3 Interact Clubs targeting secondary school students between the age of 12-18 years in neighboring schools in Naalya, Ntinda and Kyambogo.

RCKNA will also initiate and maintain an active collaboration with existing Rotaract clubs in the neighboring areas of Bukoto, Kyambogo, Ntinda and Nakawa.

The Committee has so far identified and conducted consultations with the School Management of two Secondary Schools in this neighborhood. While more ground work will be done in the coming school term, it has been agreed that if successfully concluded, the Interact Clubs will be established at the beginning of the 2014 School year.

All members should urgently pay their outstanding monthly dues in order to facilitate the timely payment of RI/District and Country dues.

Teams should be urgently established to do the ground-work on the proposed projects in Kulambiro, Nateete and Lubawo.

The Buddy group system should be activated in earnest to increase participation and regular attendance.

All members must be involved in the identification and recruitment of potential Rotarians.

LAST WEEK IN FELLOWSHIP 3

Rotary has approved a $500,000 Rapid Response grant to the World Health Organi-zation (WHO) to address a recent polio outbreak in Somalia. The outbreak occurred in the Banadir region of Somalia, where a large number of children had not been vaccinated against polio due to inaccessibility.

As of 14 August, 110 cases of wild poliovirus have been reported in the Horn of Africa—100 cases in Somalia and 10 in Kenya. This is the first outbreak in Somalia since 2007 and in Kenya since 2011.

The Rotary grant will cover operational costs, including human resources, training, and transportation of health workers, aimed at immuniz-ing children under 10 in all accessible areas of Somalia in August.

In addition, the govern-ments of the United King-dom and Japan recently announced financial commitments of $15.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to fund similar emergency vaccination campaigns in the Horn of Africa.

The United Nations has warned that without further intervention, polio could quickly develop into an epidemic across East Africa and put countless lives at risk.

EKITOOBEERO NEWS: ACROSS BORDERS

By Rtn Stephanie Gacukuzi

Fun and Sand in Bujumbura

I was recently in Bujumbura to attend my sister’s wedding. While there, I visited the Rotary Club of Tanganyika. It

is interesting what happens when you live outside your own country. You become this “international” person and even when you are back home—you are on the look-out for other international people! And so it was with me. Rather than go to just any club, I sought out the only “English speaking” Rotary club in my French speaking country. What makes the Rotary Club of Tanganyika both unique and interesting is its diversity and multi-culturalism. Its members are mainly from Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Burundi.

It so happens that I was there on August 15th— the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary —which is by the way a public holiday in Burundi. The club celebrated the day with a “club hospitality” and oooh how I enjoyed these people! I happen to know nearly three quarters of the members and so it was a good occasion to meet my friends again. And they are such fun to be around! We spent the whole day at the beach—oh yeah, a part of Lake Taganyika is in Burundi. The food there is always good and we had a ball.
