Hello DRRs,Rotaract Greetings.

First of all, I would like to thank you all to give your precious time for this bulletin. I got wonderful response from you all, till date I am getting mails from DRRs for submission of their messages into this bulletin. 24 DRRs from more than 30 countries participating in this bulletin. I feel sorry for those who have given their messages but cant be included in this bulletin because of shortage of time.Its been my pleasure to interact with you all through this medium. Idea behind this bulletin is to create a common platform to share the views and workings of DRRs who work for humanity in different corners of the world. We all share the same tenure and did so many tasks to achieve the goals of Rotary International. This may help the DRRs to understand the working of their fellows around the globe. We all have different understandings and different views towards society and work accordingly, this bulletin will help us all to understand the working of other DRRs. After all, we have to serve as IPDRR now, with more responsibilities than now.

Rotaract provides a platform to youth for development of one’s personality and enhances his/her leadership abilities. Friendship, Discipline and Unity are the powers of youth which comes in action when we fight for the betterment of society. Being a DRR means a never ending journey towards betterment of the movement and the society.

I have a message for all of you : « Be yourself, Be awesome » Thanks,Yours in Rotaract,Fatiha Zelmat

Our Rotaract district is a new district compare to other mostly western European countries and districts. The district covers the whole country and only our country. At the moment we have 12 active clubs and 2 is about to have its charter event. Although the number of the club is not a huge number, I am very proud that every year there are new clubs. Let me introduce our achievements and projects in past year:

1. The facebook page of our district is the 10th most popular facebook page according to European Rotaract Information Center in Europe.

2. All of our clubs have twin clubs around the world, but this year our Rotaract Club Duna received an award from E.R.I.C (European Rotaract Information

Center). They finished in the 2nd place in the competition of best European twin clubs. Rotaract Club Budapest City was in the top 5 finalists also, which is a huge honor from a small district as ours.

3. 2 New Clubs were founded and all of our clubs are working actively.

4. We created a new way of Rotaract Pets: we organize it in summertime next to our lovely lake Velence and we connect the Pest with a Rotaract holiday summer camp. The camp was created to keep up the mood and motivate our members as much as we can. this a real team building event. After the official conference.

5. We organize district conferences 2 times a year – which is a usual thing – but this year we made some changes about the schedule. We divided the conference for 2 parts: official planner meeting

and workshops. We organized workshops for the whole afternoon where you could choose from different topics, for example: How to organize a project in district level, how to communicate properly between clubs and towards to potential members( facebook, e-mail,etc.), How to get more media attention, etc.

6. Our district organized Hungarian Round Trip in 2013 in august. We had participants from all around the world: Mexico, Sri Lanka, Belgium, Turkey, Ukraine, Italy, etc and in the end of their trip they joined us for our summer camp.

These are the main characteristics of my lovely district. Of course as every DRR I could spend hours to fill up hundred of pages with our projects and specialties, but I guess you have to visit Hungary to feel this amazing Rotaract spirit what we have here. All I can say is that I'm proud that I can be a Rotaractor, that I could be the DRR this year. Keep up the good work and hope to see you soon!

Best,

Rtr. Ricardo Madeira

Rtr. Ricardo Madeira – Rotaract Representative for District 1960 | Portugal (2013-14)Member of Rotaract Club Lisboa – Olivais since 2008, Club President in 2010-11, member of the District Governor's team during 2011-12 and 2012-13 and member of the District Representative's Team between 2011 and 2013. General Manager of the Host Organization Committee for the 104º Rotary International Convention | Lisbon 2013 – A Harbor for Peace. Graduated in Business and Management by the NOVA School of Business and Economics in Lisbon and Erasmus Student at the Reims Management School in France. District 1960 of Rotary International is located in the southern part of Portugal including both Portuguese islands: Azores and Madeira. Currently the District is composed of 16 Rotaract Clubs and 9 Interact Clubs gathering a total of more than 250 members. Our website is

www.rotaractd1960.org

As a part of the DRR's role in the District I visited all our clubs and participated in a total of more than 125 club meetings, social events and club projects. During the first round of visits, my team and I tried to find what each club was facing as their major weaknesses and strengths. Using this information we tailor made all District events to better fit what the clubs could use to improve their service skills and context. About 10 district events, including a National Congress for both District 1960 and 1970 and the District Conference, were built with its focus on leadership skills acquisition, communication improvement, Rotary training and fellowship.

Working as a Rotaractor in Portugal in the current social context is a bigger challenge than ever as our country is facing a huge financial and political crisis

meaning that our community's issues are increasing while at the same time our clubs have less resources both financial and membership.

For this reason, we improved our presence in the web, launched a new website and improved our presence in the social media. We reached out to the general media and improved the internal communication systems of our District. Two major projects were also launched in order to join all clubs together so that their efforts towards the community could be more efficient and effective by gaining strength from our unity. We made a low cost children's book telling the history of Polio Plus and sold them in order to spread out the word while gathering money to finance club projects. We also started a new project called RiceUp Rotaract with the goal of multiplying our clubs donations towards the purchase of rice. Together we bought around 9tons of rice and signed a partnership agreement with Caritas Portuguesa that will now help us to make this product reach families in need across all Portuguese territory. It is very hard to resume all that was done by our team and all our clubs during this year. More than 12.000Km were traveled in order to meet all clubs several times, participate in their projects and make dreams real. But the most important thing is for sure the Fellowship felt in each of my club meetings and the smile in all people whose life's we touched. This is how District 1960 Engages Rotary and Change Lives! =)

Rotaract District 1960 – Portugal

Rtr. Ricardo Madeira

A small message for the DRRs and Rotaractors around the world.

Rotary is a unique Non-Profit Organization and I dare to say one of the organizations that has the biggest impact in the modern world. In one hand, with a history of 109 years, it shows us an endless list of relevant successes: Rotary is number one private organization in the USA to support education through our Rotary Foundation scholarships (In Portugal, more than 500 are given every year). We are the only non-profit with permanent seating in the United Nations. We are in the genesis of the creation of UNESCO (that was inspired in a Rotary Convention dedicated to education that took place in 1942). We work with a privileged network of partners, such as the World Health Organization, American Centre of Control and Prevention of Diseases, UNICEF, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation… But the present also shows us the enormous potential of our organization, starting with the biggest private project of public health ever made in the

world – Polio Plus! We have 99% of our goal accomplished and when we manage to eradicate Polio from the Globe, which is predicted to happen soon, it will be second disease originated by a virus eradicated in all History.

As a DRR we were a big part of this and our impact in Rotary will forever remain alive through all future successes of our Rotaract Clubs. By now all of we know that in Rotary nothing is a given fact. We must work hard to achieve success and what we do goes beyond volunteering as we are an important part the organization. If we aim to do a certain project or build an intern training action, we have to roll up our sleeves and work hard to get it done. Rotary gives us the tools and the right context but we are the ones that make a difference and assure the success of or own projects.

I owe a lot of who I am to this wonderful organization. By being part of it I improved my public speaking techniques, learned to face several of my

limitations and leaded hundreds of young people. I began to understand and respect the differences amongst cultures and realized that the ones living under the worst scenarios are also the ones capable of displaying the biggest smiles, sometimes just because we smiled at them first. I have a lot more to do in Rotary and a lot more to learn and I am looking forward for it! Each person I meet in Rotary leaves a part of them with me and takes a part of me with them. The Rotarian fellowship is something that can only by fully understood after being experienced first hand.My wish for all of you is that the end of this year is only the beginning of the rest of your life dedicated to service, ethics and peace.

Rotaract District - 2241 - Romaina

Rtr. Ioannis Gardikiotis

Hi, I am part of the Rotaract family since 2005 and I am a member of one of the first Rotaract clubs, charted after the recognition of District 2241 Romania and R e p u b l i c o f M o l d o v a (Rotaract Club Iasi 2000).

In the spring of 1929, in B u c h a r e s t , C h r i s t i a n Penescu-Kertsch established the first Rotary Club in

Romania and went on to become its first president. The Romanian intellectual ellite in science, art and business understood and accepted the mission and values of Rotary and soon six new clubs were

established in Arad, Brasov, Campina, Cernauti, Iasi and Ploiesti. In 1936, with 9 clubs, Romania became part of Rotary International District 84. The impact of Rotary activities and initiatives was visible throughout the country, but, just as it was flourishing, the Rotarian movement was banned by authoritarian regimes all across Eastern and Central Europe.

The new Rotary District 2241In 1992, with the support of French Rotarians, Rotary Club Bucharest

was re-chartered. Just as before, it was soon followed by the clubs in Cluj and Timisoara, so that in 1996, the 13 clubs in Romania were part of District 1160 Paris.

On July 1, 1996, Romania conquered a second milestone when Rotary International deemed it a Special Rotarian Expansion Region, the Republic of Moldova included. The International Committee unanimously named Swiss Rotarian, Jorg Tschopp as Presidential

Ambassador for Expansion.The results were impressive – in less than three years, the number of clubs reached thirty. It was a time

of two historic firsts: the first Rotary Club in Chisinau and for the first time, a second Rotary club was chartered in the same Romanian city, Rotary Club Continental is established in Bucharest, the country's capital.

Rotaract, as a District, was organized in 2002 by its first DRR, Aura Cadis and the first clubs charted then were Rotaract Club Bucharest, Rotaract Tg. Mures and Rotaract Cluj-Napoca. The district has now 53 Rotaract clubs from both countries and over 1000 Rotaractors.

If it were to choose just one word to describe this year it would be GROWTH.GROWTH because this year we welcomed 8 new Rotaract Clubs in our family and it is always an

enrichment to see that more and more young people want to join Rotaract and bring along their enthusiasm and creativity in what concerns sustainable projects.

GROWTH because we got to know our neighbours as 10 of our Rotaractors took part in the Tri-Districtual Summer Camp organized in Hungary organized for young Romanian, Serbian and Hungarian Rotaractors. Despite the know-how exchange, we sure have now new friends to visit and to do great projects with.

Rotaract District - 2241

GROWTH because we went international. This year our district was the host for one of the greatest projects organized so far by one of our clubs: Rotaract Model United Nations. The RotaractMUN conference is a youth-led and youth focused project that started in Baia Mare, Romania and will jump, every year, from one country to another with each edition, giving the opportunity to youth to voice their opinion on global issues.

Rotaract MUN is not the only international achievement for this year as our District, thanks to its members from Bucharest clubs, will organize EUCO 2015 after winning the elections this year at EUCO Nice.

GROWTH because many of the local projects became districtual projects. We successfully organized a first aid training session in different cities around the countries, with the help of local medical and emergency facilities. We also kept our tradition in organizing community based projects during Christmas and Easter and collect nonperishable food for the less fortunate.

GROWTH because one of projects involved 4 Rotaract Clubs from 4 different cities and helps young artists grow. RotarART 4x4 involves people from Cluj, Bucharest, Iasi and Timisoara, people with a special

talent in music, drama, literature or painting who are convinced that we are all responsible for the value of contemporary culture.

G R O W T H b e c a u s e thanks to being a DRR I got the chance to travel and meet so many amazing people, to create life-long friendships and memories. So I could definitely say it was growth for me too.

Being a DRR is one of the most fulfilling and also challenging experiences I had so far, that motivated and inspired me every single day and I am sure it will also inspire me from now on. I truly wish that each and every Rotaractor would benefit from what Rotaract as an organization full of great people has to offer.

A small message for the DRRs and Rotaractors around the world.My fellows in service, “Leading to Serve”, are three words that we live upon, every day, in our Rotaract life. We've come a long way through to reach where we are today, to serve our cause, and to lead our Districts as their representatives as best as we could. I have unconditionally served Rotaract for so many years, starting with my own club, Rotaract Club of Metn, which I joined in 2005 and served as president in the year 2010-2011.

Then I had the chance to serve other clubs on a national level as well as leading and re-activating clubs while holding my position as VDRR in Lebanon. As the 1st DRR of District 2452 I wanted to expand, I wanted to make use of all the knowledge and experience I have gathered throughout these years from projects I have organized, participated in and accomplished, to people I have come across and served with.I want to take this chance and hope that with this great initiative "Mission Rotaract", DRRs and Districts as well as Rotaract members around the world will come closer and link all their visions to create one united synergy, in order to make a bigger difference in our communities and in our world.I want to congratulate and wish all the incoming DRRs a successful year to come and to always remember the importance of continuity from one year to another and from one DRR to another and to always remember our true purpose of serving our community above all.

Thank youVincent FayadDistrict Rotaract Representative 2013-2014

Rotaract District 2482 - Bulgaria

Rtr. Alex Angelov

Dear Rotaract friends,My name is Alex Angelov and I'm DRR of D2482 Bulgaria for 2013-2014. I'm 27 years old and have Master degree in Finance. Currently I'm working in M&A Corporate Finance in KPMG. I have been in Rotaract since 6 years now and had attended international RYLA in District 1700 France. I'm Past President of Rotaract club Sofia (D2482) and for two consequent years I had been District Treasurer. This Rotarian 2013-2014 year I have the pleasure to be District Rotaract Representative of District 2482 Bulgaria.

District 2482 is part of Zone 20B exists for 7 years and covers the whole territory of Bulgaria. In D2482 there are 87 Rotary clubs, 40 Rotaract clubs, and 45 Interact clubs. Rotaract members in our district currently are 563.

In District 2482 we Rotaractors have variety of projects that help with the needs of different society groups. Part of the big and yearly projects is (“Buy and share”) national initiative that is organised twice a year from many Rotaract clubs from different cities in the country during Easter and Christmas. The goal of is to engage society to buy goods to people in need and to donate it to organisation teams in the stores who deliver the donations to the selected organisations in need.

Another annual project is in which many Rotaract clubs also get involved in the beginning of spring season. All Rotaractors help communities to rebuild their green areas with helping to plant trees in parks and alleys. This year in this project also took part 14 international clubs from different Districts around the Europe and Asia.

During this 2013-2014 as DRR of D2482 my District Committee and I have been working on the improvement of the work of all Rotaract clubs and their connection with Rotary and Interact. We have been working on the improvement on club's understanding of the fundamentals of Rotary and service above self.

In D2482 we have 8 zones. During the entire year we have been organising meetings with the Rotaract clubs in the zones (zone meetings). These zone meetings aim to help clubs in the zone to know each other and to stimulate them to work on common projects. As a result several zones organised themselves zone meetings weeks and months after District visit. To help clubs work better with the administration of their club we developed how-to video tutorials for clubs' secretaries which show them in easy step how to work with the Rotaract registrar on

In order to make easy and pleasant the first steps of being Rotaractors of all new members we organize webinar for new members with a software account provided by RI (GoToWebinar). It is online and briefly introduces the main principles of Rotary and Rotaract. A guest lecturer participates in it in order to give their personal experience and knowledge with and for Rotaract.This 2013-2014 Rota year we had one National initiative for blood donation in which 75% of the clubs took participation in the day of Europe (9th of May).

We went beyond the District and with the support of Rotary our District participated in the national initiativeorganised by Junior Achievement organisation. In the initiative companies, institution and business owners give the opportunity of your professionals to experience what is to be a manager of a company for one day. The initiative was supported by the President of the Republic of Bulgaria.This year we follow Rotary International openness to the world and being transparent with its projects in social media. Our District created and developed its profiles in social media in order to popularise clubs' projects and initiatives, to inform about District events and opportunities, to make a platform for all Rotaractors to exchange ideas and grow their friendship.Our social media channels are: Currently we are

developing our presence in and in Our District managed to make clubs work and enthusiasm popular among society with online video contest with media partner . The contest's name was and aimed to motivate the clubs in Bulgaria to show what for them is Rotaract and how they define it. The contest was very successful, because with much excitement clubs participated and were eager to the last moment which will be the most Rotaractor video according to Rotaract principles.To celebrate this year as DRR and to appreciate all the work all Rotaractors and my District committee did we are organising

during which we will give a retrospective of all past events and initiative we did for Rotaract Bulgaria. During the year we have organised also one National Assembly and one President Elect Training Seminar (PETS).

Now as an experienced DDR of D2482 I turn to all fellow DRRs and Elect DRRs with the friendly message to “Go forward, never backward”. It is a game of words that express so many thoughts. My District year we managed to make changes in new direction that is available to all Rotaractors in Bulgaria. For this I have almost 1 year and a half to prepare and to build my strategy and choose wisely my time. Preparation is important, because it gave the opportunity to see what can be improved and to think of how to improve it. This 2013-2014 year I can tell is the best year of my life, because the experience Rotaract gave me charges me with more energy to do good in the world and keep going and explore life while enjoy moments with friends and help society at the same time. I know that the most important role of my service in Rotaract is just coming and this is my role as Past DRR. This is when I have to transfer in a friendly way my gained experience and knowledge to the future DRR to build on my good deeds and develop Rotaract in Bulgaria further.

Rtr. Karamjit Sandhu

I've been a rotaractor from past 10 years & its been an amazing journey so far! Everyday is a new learning in rotaract here. I Love this movement! Apart from this, I'm a Mind Trainer and a spiritual Mentor at Brahma Kumaris wolrd Spiritual University.

Another 10 more lined up to open for the coming year. We have around 114 rotary clubs in 3070.

The year has been quite challenging, as well as fun.

Dear Rotaractors,

The Rotaract year 2013-14 has been very challenging, but in the end truly satisfying. It's simply amazing to be a leader, a person who could just bring in a change to do something good and outstanding.Our theme for the year, "Join hands to Serve" signifies the true spirit of an individual to join for a noble cause, serve the people of our society, transform a man into a true leader and instill the warrior spirit. I believe that every project we did had many hurdles, but yet in the end we were together. I'm sure all my dear leaders agree with the theme. I wish you all the very best for your future endeavors.Let's continue the good work. Self transformation leads to World Transformation.

Best Wishes,DRR Rtr KaramR.I. Distt 3070

Rotaract District 3090 - India

Rtr. Sahil Bhateja

Hello friends,Rotaract Greetings from me and every member of Distt. 3090. Before you all read further, I would tell you that you are lucky and i thank you all for being a part of this ever growing rotaract family. We as a district are in a developing mode and so far it has been amazing time being in it. As it all started from ground zero, this Distt has done exceptionally well under the leaderships of each rotaract president. And frankly I am happy man to have got such leaders in my group. Personally it all started from the year 2012 when our NGO- 'Pryas The Beginning' members were invited by the rotary to open a rotaract and from that day till today, there's no looking back. And as a DRR, I have been leading and dealing with a large group of passionate young minds.

Activities:Expansion of the district by formation of 17 new clubs in the Distt which had 4 clubs in the starting.CAMBIO, the annual District Assembly, hosted by Rotaract Club Rajpura, after such a long time our district saw a district event being held.Increase in the number of members in each club and taking the rotaract movement tocolleges in different areas of district.

Dear wonderful people, It has been so great to have found a path to connect to all of you through this way. Rotaract is such an incredible thing by the rotary. We represent the younger generation and are the face of our country and looking back in the past decade, it's clear that each country has been empowering youth for its development. Same way, rotary has given us a solid platform to inculcate in ourselves the leadership qualities, strong character and a sense of

responsibility for this world. One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. But finding you all here assure that this is the time when people have chosen humanity above everything and rotaract is all about serving the humanity.“Great changes in the destiny of mankind can be effected only in the minds of young generation.”Yours in RotaractSahil BhatejaDRR- RID 30902013-14,2014-15

Rtr. Anoop Gupta

Hi everybody. I m Rtr Anoop Gupta, District Rotaract Representative of Rotary International District 3110. I am Post Graduate in management and Enterprenuer by profession.

R.I Distt 3110 covers Western Uttar Pradesh and most of the Uttarakhand states of India. We have 46 active Rotaract clubs and more than 1000 Rotaractors in our district. Geographically seeing our district have a vast variety of climate. From heart breaking views of Himalayas in one end to the heart touching views of symbol of love, Taj Mahal in Agra, every corner of our district have a lot to explore. Birth Place of the God of Hindu Religion, Lord Krishna, Mathura & Vrindavan is one of the most famous places to visit in our district.

With a vision to rise the Rotaractism in my district, I introduced my theme for my tenure “Building on the Past, Moving into the Future”. Throughout the year rotaractors from my district did tremendous job. Opening 5 new clubs, Doing international fellowships, interacting beyond the boundaries and creating a healthy environment for rotaractivity is what we did whole year. District Assembly, Conference, 6 official PDRRs meets, regular Club visits, Rotaract week celebrations, public awareness campaigns for encouraging voting, Environment week celebrations, District and zonal picnics, awareness campaign to encourage people not to use polythin and save water etc are some of the activities we performed to pump the Rotaractism in our district. We participated in with a team of 28 rotaractors in Rotasia 2014 at Mysore and won the best lapel pin award.

Dear DRRs n Rotaractors,

Rotary have given us a wonderful platform to serve the humanity. We all are doing the same job in every part of the world. Carry on with “your vision, think global and spread love”. I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural resources, and through concern for future generations, the proper care of the environment.

I would like to extend my best wishes to you all in this process of lighting more candles. Best Wishes!!

Rtr. Ricardo Alberti

"Good morning, my name is Ricardo Alberti, I work with people development, acting as a coach, I'm the Governor of Rotaract District 4700 2013/2014. Our district is composed of the plateau (Erechim, Passo Fundo, Sarandi) and mountains (Bento Gonçalves, Caxias do Sul, Flores da Cunha), we have today 16 clubs in activit, three of which were founded in this administration, our membership has evolved 13 % this year.

It was a fantastic experience, I met many interesting people, traveled to other countries, made ?partnerships for our district, I made friends that I know will be for all mu life. Today I am better and I feel fulfilled, so thanks to Rotaract. "

Histórico do Distrito 4700 O distrito é uma área geográfica na qual os Rotary Clubs estão agrupados para fins administrativos do RI. A organização e as atividades dos distritos rotários têm como única finalidade ajudar os Rotary Clubs a promover o Objetivo do Rotary, sem diminuir os serviços prestados pelos Clubes e pelos rotarianos localmente.

A História do Distrito 4700, percorre um longo caminho e desdobramentos, e é contada resumidamente pelo companheiro EGD Claudio I. J. Pegoraro (1991/1992), conforme relatos que seguem.

O Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 1989/1990, tinha na época três distritos rotários o 466, 467 e 468. Com o redistritamento,

passaram a constituir-se em número de cinco distritos, os mesmos de hoje.

O Distrito 470, agora 4700 nasceu e recebeu a grande maioria de seus Clubes do então 467 que já era um distrito muito grande. Á área territorial é a existente hoje, compreende a região Nordeste (Serra Gaúcha) e o Planalto (Passo Fundo, Erechim, Sarandi e outros) e incorporando os clubes existentes na época. O Distrito 466, cedeu os Clubes de Constantina, Sarandi, Erechim, Getúlio Vargas e outros da região e os restantes eram do 467. Iniciou-se o funcionamento do Distrito 4700 em 01 de julho de 1990, sendo o primeiro Governador o Companheiro Jorge Feijó Machado. O Distrito iniciou com 32 clubes, com menos de 900 rotarianos.

Na gestão do Companheiro Claudio I. J. Pegoraro (1991/1992), iniciou-se o trabalho de cadastramento dos Clubes bem como sua reestruturação e orientação. Neste mesmo período, com a colaboração do Colégio de Governadores, foi criados o regulamento do Distrito Rotário. Com ajuda especial do EGD Werner Antony e a pedido do Rotary Internacional foram criados:- Regulamento das Conferências Distritais;- Regulamento do Colégio de Governadores;- Regulamento da Fundação Distrital.

Rotary provides us a unique opportunity at developing our professional and leadership skills. As DRRS, we ARE Rotaract in our Districts. Our public image and interactions with people in and outside Rotary should convey the ideals of Rotaract – professional development, leadership development and community service. A stranger meeting us for the first time should notice a difference about us from other young people and they should know that the difference is because of our Rotary experience. Our personal and professional conduct should be an example of how youth should conduct themselves in order to be respected by the society in which they live.

Congratulations on your year of service, I hope that you learnt one or two things about Fun, Fellowship and Service.

Rotaract District 9350 – South Africa

Rtr. Dominique Yon

Hi, I am Dominique Yon, a 21 year old Marketing Student from Cape Town South Africa. I became a part of the Rotary family when I started Bellville Rotaract in 2011 which I became president of and it was one of only 3 clubs in good standing in our District 9350 at the time. I was then elected as DRR for 2012/13 and was re-elected this year. We now have 8 clubs in our district and are in the process of starting more. District 9350 includes Nambia, Angola and the western part of South Africa. There are 3 districts in South Africa.

We have focused on growing our district this year and have therefore held events for Interactors and facilitated at two RYLA Camps. We held numerous workshops at our annual conference and

just recently held a First Aid Training workshop. In order to retain our current membership and encourage fellowship we held friendly competitions including a Potjiekos Contest (South African dish) and an action sports tournament including indoor soccer, netball and cricket. We have also completed service projects together as a district.

I am honored and blessed to be a part of this amazing organization Rotary and Rotaract. It has completely changed my life for the better in

the last three and a half years. There have been ups and downs but ultimately I've grown so much by networking with people from people from all over the world, developing my leadership skills, have grown professionally and have been given the opportunity to improve so many lives in my community. I would like to encourage all Rotaractors to be proud and embrace Rotaract and in doing so show Rotarians that we 'light up' Rotary so that Rotaract may grow internationally. Kind Regards Dominique Yon
