PASSION & VISION The Rotary Foundation solely depends upon Rotarians to turn its objectives to realities. We must demonstrate our passion for service and our visions of a strife-free world to turn this world into a livable, lovable and luminous place to enjoy. Rotarians have the energy to turn our vision into reality. Mother Theresa has amply demonstrated what passion and commitment can achieve, If we have the energy, we must be passionate for service. The ultimate goal of service is world Peace. All the programmes of The Rotary Foundation aim at achieving a more peaceful globe. Our multiple programmes of The Rotary Foundation - and a very important programme is Polio eradication - aim at securing a happier world which can, then, ensure Peace. If Peace is our objective and service acts are the roads leading to Peace, we must ensure that we have funds to attain our objectives. We need more funds. We have many opportunities. We need to join these two with a strong bond that can survive upheavals. Rotarians have earned the respect of communities. Now if we have enough financial support, we can earn success. In order to succeed, we will need extra commitment, brighter visions and unwavering passions to utilize our financial resources to the maximum. There is no doubt that we have that commitment, that passion, that vision. We therefore must provide more food for energy and this food is financial strength.
