AN URDU COUPLET
Mahatma Gandhi said “ the best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the Service of others “
We need more PHFs/ Major Donors/ PH Society Members/AKS Members..
Friends, if we aspire to look beyond ourselves, if we wish to lead using our Head – Heart and Hands , if we are committed to build the future with action and vision, if we wish the world to know Rotary Serving Humanity, if we say Rotary Connects the World, We must gather courage and we must refuse to sink into what I call “ LEPROSY OF THE SOUL “ — the condition where the desire to do good in the world fades away .
Let’s kindle the fire by spreading the message that Rotary Connects the World which can happen with SERVICE TO HUMANITY THROUGH OUR FOUNDATION.
It means victory over Disease and Pain , it means freedom from Hunger and Want , it means Triumph from Ignorance and it means Dignity, Peace and better Human Beings.
Let each of you be the source, keeping hope alive . Let’s make The Rotary Foundation Serve Humanity brightly around the world .
AN URDU COUPLET
A wats up message-
