District Governø E l ct GEOFFREY KITAKULE
Whether it’s fighting against injustice, reducing poverty, or caring for our environment, the path to progress is paved with unity. In our diverse Rotary community, we each bring different experiences, backgrounds, vocations and perspectives. This diversity is our strength. By coming together and embracing our differences, we can innovate solutions that make a difference in the communities we serve. Let us remember that when we unite for a common purpose, we amplify our voices, resources and in the process enhance our impact. Each of us has causes they care about most deeply under our seven areas of focus. Now imagine the possibilities when we join hands—when we share our time, talents, experiences and resources. Together, we can plant trees to avert climate change, run to get rid of cancer in our society, fundraise to save our children from malaria, support our schools to improve basic education, advocate for the vulnerable and promote peace, rally people to donate blood, and promote economic empowerment, enable access to water and improved health for our mothers, and most important save our future generations from Polio. The good we do for others reflects back on us, creating a community where everyone feels valued. I know that uniting to do good isn’t always easy. It requires commitment, forgiveness, empathy, and understanding. We may face obstacles, disagreements, or differing opinions or tribal or religious cultures or even support different football teams for that matter. But it’s crucial that we approach these challenges with open hearts and minds. By engaging in constructive engagements and seeking
common ground, to create long lasting partnerships. Let us also not forget the power of small actions. Every kind word, every helping hand, every shilling donated to the foundation can spark positivity and hope. You don’t have to wait for a grand event or significant moment to take action. Each one of us can make a contribution and together, those small actions can lead to extraordinary outcomes. I urge you all to think about how you can contribute to this cause. Let us commit to working together to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come. The road ahead may not always be smooth, but with unity, we can navigate any obstacle and spread goodness far and wide. And let us invite others to share in this goodness to grow our membership for it’s the foundation that starts it all. With more members we shall together create a world where kindness prevails over hate, where understanding triumphs ignorance, and where our communities will thrive. So, let us unite for good. Let’s put aside what separates us and focus on what can bring us together. Together we can—and we will—make a difference.
LET’S UNITE FOR GOOD
D ear Rotarians and Rotaracters, as we look forward to Rotary year 2025-26, we embrace a timeless concept: unity in our efforts to do good. In today’s fast-paced and often divided world, it’s easy to get lost in the noise and feel disconnected. But there’s one truth that we can all agree on; when we come together, we have the power to create positive change. As Rotarians, together, we possess the unique ability to inspire change, uplift one another, and create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion in our world. The first key to uniting for good is recognizing that we are all connected by a shared purpose. We want to live in a world where kindness, compassion, and opportunity are accessible to everyone. A world where inequality is challenged, where environmental sustainability is a priority, and where peace and love triumph over conflict and division. This is the vision that can drive us, but it can’t be achieved alone. It requires each of us to come together, to contribute our unique talents, perspectives, and ideas. The most significant accomplishments have arisen not from individual efforts but from collective action. When people unite, they become a force that can overcome even the greatest challenges.
