share their stories of serving and changing lives. Whether it is health camps, building

toilets, or setting up hospitals and schools, these are heart-touching stories that inspire
others to emulate, participate, and contribute. I strongly feel that every Rotarian is a brand
ambassador of Rotary. The good word of Rotary, the good word of our work, will best travel

around the world when each Rotarian tells their story on social media.
Telling our story is as important as doing the work itself is.
We will leverage all means of storytelling and will showcase our work with two

presidential initiatives.
One way we will do this is through seven presidential conferences across the globe,

focusing on the seven areas of focus. These two-day conferences will celebrate our
accomplishments and recommit our dedication to service. They will feature speakers to
inspire us to develop more impactful projects and allow us to exchange ideas and build

partnerships to empower communities.
The other will be the Rotary Days of Service. These will be events organized by two or

more Rotary or Rotaract clubs to provide meaningful, hands-on volunteer opportunities for
our members, their families, and friends and showcase our work to the outside world. These
will be excellent opportunities to engage current and prospective members, showcase

our work, and tell our story. Do ensure that every club in your district participates in the
Rotary Days of Service and creates a major buzz on social and traditional media. Once
again, empowering girls will be the overarching theme.

Change-maker governors, during this special year of yours, remember what Gandhi said:
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” And what
Martin Luther King Jr. asked, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are

you doing for others?’ ”
Dear governors, let our answer be “We will Serve to Change Lives because service to

humanity is good for both body and soul.”
