November is celebrated as Rotary Foundation Month. It is a time to emphasize the motto of The Foundation, “Doing Good in Our Communities and Around the World”.

It’s a good time to reflect on the great Rotary Foundation sponsored programs we support and on how each of us can contribute to make sure these programs continue.

Our Rotary Foundation sponsors a broad range of Educational and Humanitarian programs that save and change lives here and abroad: Vocational Training Teams, Youth Exchange, Ambassa-dorial Scholars, Polio Eradication, District and Global Grants , to name a few. These programs are the lifeblood of Rotary, creating world peace and understanding through the lives touched by the programs. Ask any past GSE team leader or any Rotarian who has visited/worked on an international project about the difference made by these programs. there are many wonderful stories of saved and changed lives around the world.

Our contributions to The Rotary Foundation fund these Rotary programs. While our Foundation is quite healthy (one of the largest Foundations in the world), there is so much more we need to do. Your annual contribution and/or a contribution to the Foundation permanent fund (through a major gift or benefactor contribution) fuel our Rotary programs. A contribution to the Foundation is one of the best investments you can make with nearly 100% going to Rotary programs that save and change lives.

I encourage each of you to learn more about The Rotary Foundation and make a contribution to continue saving and changing lives. These programs work and are a great investment for a better and safer world.

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary, we tap into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into our priorities, such as eradicating polio and pro-moting peace.

ROTARY JOURNEYSMESSAGE

Strong financial oversight, a stellar charity rating, and a unique funding model mean that we make the very most of your contribution. Give and become a part of Rotary’s life-changing work!

The Rotary Foundation receives the funds that we give and invests them. After three years The Foundation returns one halfof our gifts back to our district for our work both globally and locally. As we plan projects on the global and local scale and engage our members in supporting those projects, we facilitate the transformation of our gifts into projects that change lives both at home and abroad.

Our International Services Committee works diligently every month to find and engage in projects that fulfill that goal. Our goal is to find projects that will be sustainable for the long term. Each project averages about three yearsfrom conception of an idea until there are boots on the ground and the soilis turned.

During Rotary Foundation Month we will offer a 50/50 matching program for gifts made to The Rotary Foundation. This matching program will run from November 1 to December 15. Information is available from The Foundation Committee that will inform each club member what she/he will need to give to The Rotary Foundation in order to reach the next Paul Harris Fellowship level.

GET TO KNOW THE ROTARY FOUNDATION’S GOALS1. Eradicate polio, our top priority

2. Build a sense of ownership of our Foundation among Rotarians through their contributions to the Annual Programs Fund, the Permanent Fund, and our Rotary Peace Centres

3. Continue our progress on the Future Vision plan and align our service projects with the six ar-eas of focus o Peace and conflict prevention/ resolution o Disease prevention and treatment o Water and sanitation o Maternal and child health o Basic education and literacy o Economic and community development

4. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education and the alle-viation of poverty. The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.

5. One of the most common ways for Rotarians to contribute to the Foundation is through direct donations of $1,000, which are recognize by designating the contributor a Paul Harris Fellow, and annual donations of $100 as a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member.

ROTARY JOURNEYSMESSAGE

EDUCATING THE CLUB ROTARIANFour ways to educate club Rotarians are:1. Good, interesting club programs on the Foundation

2. Member participation in Foundation programs

3. Weekly Rotary Foundation Thought

4. Attendance at Foundation seminars and other events

HOW TO SCHEDULE AND USE• Encourage and organize a Foundation Thought at each club meeting.

• Help the club’s program chair to organize at least one program each quarter, during regular club meetings, about the Foundation and its activities.

• Organize the club’s celebration of Rotary Foundation Month in November, including extra pro-grams on the Foundation

• Provide information from the Foundation/RI about the options for service through programs

• Be familiar with the RI Catalog, available at Shop.Rotary.org

• Encourage every Rotarian in the club to contribute what he or she can afford to give each year to the Foundation.

• Encourage every Rotarian to become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member (in supporting the Every Rotarian, Every Year effort) and ultimately a Paul Harris Fellow

• Promote the Foundation’s Permanent Fund to those club members who can afford to become Benefactors, Bequest Society Members, and/or Major Donors as appropriate.

• Maintain regular contact with the District Foundation chair and various Foundation subcommit-tee chairs.

The Rotary Foundation thrives on giving from Rotarians and friends of Rotary. These giving are in turn used to transform lives around the World. With the coming of December, there is a calling in our hearts to give to those who have less. Make a commitment my dear friends. Make a gift to The Rotary Foundation and be a gift to the World!

Greetings fromJESSEY YAPDistrict Rotaract Representative 2015-16

Dear Rotaractors and friends,

My warmest greetings and peace to you all.

For the awesome month of November, we are proud to announce that, another new Rotaract Club of INTI, Sabah has been chartered under Rotary District 3310. May the new Rotaract Club start their colourful journey in planning and executing their activities and projects.

Rotaract Club of Swinburne has finally celebrated their 14th installation on 1st November 2015. Warmest congratulations to President Aqilah and her BOD. We are excited to share on our Rota-ractors’ activities. A creative activity called Lino Printing was organised by Rotaract Club of Marina City in collaboration with Rotaract Club of Singapore. The participants had fun drawing and carv-ing their very own designs on rice paper.

In line with our Rotary motto ‘Fellowship Through Service’, Rotaract Club of NTU had a fun visit to Taman Jurong together with Ah Gong and Ah Mah. This was followed by Home Cleaning Project done by the Rotaract Club of NYP. Meanwhile, Rotaract Club of Singapore East had a fruitful gath-ering at one of their members’ new house.

On top of that, Rotaractors have also been continuing to uphold the motto ‘Be a gift to the world’, whereby the Rotaract Club of SMU had their nurture session part 1 and Rotaract Club of UMS had successfully put some smiles on kids’ faces at SK. Kiau 1, Kota Belud by distributing imported ice-creams during their Ice Cream Project 3.0. In addition, Rotaract Club of NTU had their very magical magic show and workshop which was also a success.

On 30th October 2015, Rotaract Club of Swinburne were honoured to be part of a meeting with DG Philip and the Rotary Club of Kuching Central at Riverside Majestic Hotel, Kuching. The pur-pose and objective of the meeting was to present a report of the clubs on past events as well as plans for future events. The meeting was attended by teacher advisors, Rotaractors from Rotaract Club of Swinburne University Sarawak, Interactors from SMK Kuching High, SMK Gapor, SMK Ban-dar Kuching 1 as well as St.Joseph Private School.

Rotaractors’ enthusiasm in carrying out activities and fellowship is something we should all be proud of. We look forward to continue working with all Rotaractors and Rotary Clubs to serve and inspire others! Let’s continue to serve the community better and “Be a gift to the World”.

Enjoy Rotaract and love humanity!

MOMENTS

58 YEARS IN ROTARYPP Yap Kee SengRotary Club of Batu Pahat

I was introduced to the Rotary Club, Batu Pahat in the late 1958.I was a greenhorn then and had no idea about the Rotary movement.I thought it was just an ordinary recreation club.Nevertheless, the moment I was inducted I was appointed a “Sargent At Arms” of the club without an inkling of what that job was.I thought I was drafted into some voluntary corp or army.Later I came to know that Rotary was a service club.

As years passed and having served in different avenues of services,I began to know of Rotary history and its contribution to society.Being Rotarians we help to build friendship and encour-age peaceful existence internationally among people of different races, cultures and religions.Throughtout my years in Rotary,I have made many friends.And as a Rotarian one will not become rich in the monotary sense but,the wealth will be in the form of having more friends,understanding people and human nature.Rotary also makes you a more compassionate and better person.That is Rotary!

GLOBAL POLIO ERADICATION INITIATIVE

In November, we reached three years without a case of wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3), an import-ant sign that the genetic diversity of the disease is shrinking. But sounding a note of caution, the Emergency Committee of the International Health Recommendations met for the seventh time, extending the temporary recommendations to address the risk of the international spread of wild polio and expanding these to include circulating vaccine derived polioviruses. Earlier in the month, the Independent Monitoring Board reported on both the recent successes and the final challenges that stand in the way of finishing polio for good. And wrapping up this month, leaders from Com-monwealth countries gathered in Malta to announce new commitments that will help to drive us forward towards a polio-free world.

EMERGENCY COMMITTEE MEETS TO DISCUSS VACCINE-DERIVED POLIOThe Emergency Committee met for the seventh time and recommended that the temporary rec-ommendations to stop the international spread of wild poliovirus (WPV) be extended for a further three months. In addition, the recommendations were expanded to apply to outbreaks of circu-lating vaccine derived polioviruses (cVDPV). In 2015, with numbers of all types of poliovirus at a historic low, more countries have been affected by cVDPVs than by WPV outbreaks. Circulating VDPVs are taking greater precedence now because the number of WPV cases to date in is lower than it has ever been, shifting the focus onto cVDPVs.

THIS IS TIME FOR PEAK PERFORMANCEThe Independent Monitoring Board (IMB), the body which evaluates progress towards a polio-free world, congratulated the programme this month for recording an all-time low number of polio cases by this time in the year. But they also emphasised that this is the time for peak performance from the programme and that several adjustments must be made in order to cross the finishing line. The report also highlighted the growing importance of stopping vaccine-derived poliovirus, with the reduced number of wild poliovirus outbreaks throwing cVDPVs into the spotlight. Most importantly, all countries must redouble efforts to end polio transmission in the two remaining en-demic countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

WILD POLIOVIRUS TYPE THREE LIKELY GONEOn November 10, we marked three years without seeing a single child paralysed by wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3), one of three strains of the wild virus. Thanks to intensified efforts to reach more children with vaccines, the genetic diversity of the disease is decreasing: WPV2 was declared eradicated in September with no case since 1999. This milestone is an encouraging sign that only wild poliovirus type one (WPV1) may remain. High levels of vaccination and strong surveillance are critical to verify that WPV3 has been eliminated and to eradicate the last strain of polio.

COMMONWEALTH HEADS OF GOVERNMENT COMMIT TO POLIO ERADICATIONCommonwealth leaders from around the world gathered at the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta to commit anew to polio eradication. Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat hosted a special event on polio where he stated Malta will continue to provide leadership for polio eradication. “Polio struck down many of my generation, and now we are on the verge of

striking down polio,” said Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations. “My thanks to the Commonwealth leaders for their support, and together, let us make the final push and wipe out polio from this earth.” Rotarians around the world played an essential role in advocating for Com-monwealth leaders to recommit to polio eradication at this important event. “In 1988, we commit-ted Rotary to ending polio. We’re sticking with it, until we have delivered a polio-free world to all future generations,” said Ravi Ravindran, President of Rotary International.

COUNTRIES INTRODUCING THE INACTIVATED POLIO VACCINE (IPV) INTO ROUTINE IMMUNI-ZATION SYSTEMS THIS MONTHBotswana, Burundi, the Cook Islands, Guinea, Mauritania, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Yemen introduced IPV this month. All polio endemic countries have now introduced IPV. More than half of the world’s birth cohort is now receiving at least one dose of IPV. Nineteen countries are due to introduce IPV in November.

FUNDING UPDATESFollowing a detailed programme review of GPEI progress towards eradicating polio, the Depart-ment for International Development from the United Kingdom (DFID) has released an additional £32 million for GPEI activities in the first half of 2016. DFID has also provided £30 million to Gavi for inactivated polio vaccine introductions, as part of the 2013 Vaccine Summit Pledge.
