ri president my dear brothers and sisters in rotary in 1885 the london times ran a series of editorials honoring the 100th birthday of sir moses montefiore the british financier and philanthropist knighted by queen victoria the editorials commented on his honesty his generosity and his willingness to come to the aid of anyone in need one story was particularly telling someone once asked sir moses one of the ri president wealthiest men of his era how much he was worth kalyan banerjee in the face of such an ill-mannered inquiry he rotary year 2011-2012 merely paused for a moment s reflection before naming a figure ­ one that fell far short of his questioner s expectations naturally it was met with an objection surely he must be worth 10 times as much sir moses merely smiled young man he replied you didn t ask me how much i own you asked me how much i am worth so i calculated how much i have given to charity this year and that is the number i gave you you see in life we are worth only what we are willing to share with others when we calculate our own worth do we think about it in terms of what we have or how we use it when we say that all human beings are of equal worth do our actions follow our words i believe that being a rotarian means looking at all of our resources differently what is the most good that we could choose to do with what we have what are the choices that will ultimately leave us the richest in rotary we are all aware of the great needs in so many parts of our world and we all know how much we can do to help through our rotary foundation we can change lives we can restore hope we can build futures ­ if we choose to in life everything is a choice we can choose to close our eyes to the needs of others to keep what we have for ourselves to declare the problems of others to be theirs alone or we can choose to look past distance past color past language and dress and culture and see that people everywhere are just like us ­ and then refuse to walk away 6 reach within to embrace humanity kalyan banerjee president rotary international

governor s message dear fellow rotarians it s september the new generations month time has spun too fast and we are now on the third month of the rotary year it has still been an exciting round of inductions and governor`s visits for me and through it all i have immensely enjoyed the travel the warm welcomes encouraging projects and outputs from the clubs not to mention the delicious food prepared by the hosts why does rotary invests on programs and projects for the new generations i.e the youth in fact it is one of rotary`s 5 avenues of service rotary international has well-defined and significant programs for youth development we put much hope and rest our dreams on the youth of today the elders leave it to the youngsters from where they took off we often hear parents verbalize their dreams for their children all for a better and successful life in the future rotary believes with the majority that the future lies in the hands of our youth that the youth are the future of our nation inevitably they will run the affairs of the nation in the future how can rotary shape a leader from a youth it all starts with understanding the concerns of the youth and the problems that flock them we can guide and support our youth by our interact and rotaract clubs to hone their leadership skills bring out their potentials and prepare them to become future leaders and rotarians we can also make them experience cultural interaction with other races through the ryla youth exchange furthers international understanding and may lead to deep and strong friendships with other nationalities we can play a vital role to the new generations as rotarians part of our service to humanity is to develop conscientious and responsible leaders in the future when the 4-way test is inculcated in the youth`s person and way of life we will never worry about the future our legacy as rotarians does not show more in the buildings and houses and water projects that we built it is more noble to build persons and leaders of the future out of our youth of today district governor digna ragasa rotary year 2011-2012 7 reach within to embrace humanity
