Editor’s Note: Changing lives in the midst of the pandemic 

By Elyrose Naorbe | Posted on June 24, 2022

The Rotary Year themed: Serve to Change Lives is about to end. But a month prior to the new Rotary Year 2022-2023, let us celebrate the success of the Rotaract and Interact Clubs that render selfless service to the people and the community this Rotary Year 2021-2022. 

Despite the pandemic brought by COVID-19, Rotaractors are still active and live the mantra of Fellowship through Service. They find innovative ways and noble projects which have big impact to their beneficiaries. 

This RY, we see beautiful smiles of those who benefit from our services and it gives us true joy and fulfillment as a Rotaractors. Also, this year, our leadership was tested but still, we find a way of alleviating others toward success. 

They say it’s better to give than to receive. Rotaractors always believe that success is best when we share it to others. And seeing others success too, because of us, make us fulfill the true essence of service and leadership. When we do service, we should always bear in mind that it’s not for us, but for them to become successful. Let us give them the opportunity to lead and impart their own skills for the better. 

Connection. This word also suits us, Rotaractors because despite the pandemic, we still strengthen our bonds and communication even to those who are miles away. The pandemic also teaches us to become resilient and kind. 

The fact the Rotaractors are helping to other people even they are struggling too, is evident and tested. It really shows that sometimes, we need to see what’s going on so that we can quickly lend a hand to those who need it. Let’s thank God for waking us everyday as it means another day to serve and make a difference. Another day to inspire and make impact to our fellow Rotaractors. It’s a morning routine that every time you wake up, you need to step up and do good things for others. The fact that you change others for the better is a rewarding experience.

And as we culminate the new Rotary Year, we commend all clubs that give their valuable projects and help thousands and even millions of people around the world. Let us continue the fire burning and as we say goodbye to RY 2021-2022, let us welcome the new RY with the same vibe, the same purpose, and the same goal. Because as Rotaractors, we don’t need a reason to help and we are ready to serve to change lives. Let’s Imagine Rotary the same way we walk our talk in every endeavor we make.
