VP Marlon Sapla DEVELOPMENT OF ACQUAINTANCE AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE

In Rotary, there is a basic assumption that a Ro-tary Club member is to be a businessman, pro-fessional or community leader, active or retired, that has discretionary use of his time. In our soci-ety, this type of person is normally a busy achiev-er accustomed to the pursuit of excellence. They are generally service and community oriented, but their interests target satisfying their custom-ers, clients, and employees because that is what keeps their family cared for, their business func-tioning, and their community vibrant. How do we go about getting this type of person to join us in Rotary? They will not join because we want them to, they will join for their own reasons and their reasons only. So what reason would a person use to justify joining a Rotary Club like ours. By far, the major reason falls in the realm of helping them satisfy their personal interests by associat-ing with contemporaries and that is basically net-working. Therefore, if we want to recruit more into our Club, we start with our contemporaries and look for those who can relate with us because of our shared interests and values. The development of acquaintance with our respective networks of businessman, professional or community leaders into an opportunity for service thru our Club must therefore be given utmost consideration to in-crease our membership or even put up a daugh-ter club. It must be pointed out that more Rotari-ans means more resources for the Rotary move-ment to support its local and international human-itarian projects. As we pursue our economic and community ser-vice projects this month, we need to develop more acquaintances as an opportunity for more services to our intended beneficiaries. There is also a need for more partnership with our Rotary Family and the communities that we serve.

Enhance natural capacities and networks: There are sources of strength in every community; for ex-ample, informal networks and social support sys-tems, or certain individuals that have particular tal-ents or are able to help others in need. A community developer identifies these existing community as-sets and works with them. It is important not to du-plicate existing structures and functions as that may weaken rather than strengthen the community. Social justice and equity: This is fundamental to community development and is at least implicit in all CD work, if not an explicit goal of a CD program. Universality: Services are available to everyone, without requiring means or needs testing. Service Integration: Often services provided to persons in need are fragmented, so that one service provider doesn't know what other services are avail-able or being used, resulting in gaps, duplications and sometimes conflicting advice or treatments. A community development approach would ensure that services are coordinated, that they enhance and strengthen natural community and family sup-ports, that there is effective communication among all involved, and that services are directed by the individual receiving them, to the extent possible. Upstream: The distinction between upstream vs. downstream approaches uses a river as a metaphor for the increasing impact of conditions and events which affect health over time and space, and relates to the point of intervention. For example, if there is a toxic spill upstream, it will affect the quality of the water in the river for everyone living downstream. You can focus either on dealing with the illnesses that are experienced by the downstream people (downstream approach) or you can stop the spill and prevent others from happening in the future (upstream approach)

Values and Principles of Community Development

Just Food for Thought:

Community development is sometimes confused with community-based programs, community re-search and other forms of community interventions. The most significant feature that distinguishes com-munity development from other community work is its values and principles. Below are a list and a brief definition of the values and principles that are typically embodied in com-munity development programs. Additional infor-mation on these terms is available in the glossary section of this course. Democratic: The will of the majority must be carried out, but only after all voices are heard and consid-ered and minority rights are protected. Inclusive: There are many barriers to participation in society; poverty, disability, age, race and ethnicity are some other characteristics that often marginal-ize people. A healthy community embraces diversity and recognizes that all community members have a right to be heard and participate in processes that affect their lives. Non-authoritarian: Organizational structures are as flat as possible, with all participants being seen as equally important and having equal input. Community self determination: Community mem-bers come together to discuss their concerns, as-sess options and arrive at their own conclusions. They may seek advice from "experts", but consider it along with other sources of information and their own experience and make their own decisions that are right for them. Community Ownership: Communities thrive when they develop their own assets, but also when they "own" their problems and issues. When communi-ties accept that it is "their" problem, then they are more likely to work together to develop a solution, and the solution will be better than one provided solely by an external "expert".
