RC Karen: 100 Days in Office

Posted by Rotary Club of Karen
By Club President Lorraine Kirigia
A few scribbles on the 100 Days in office...

Franklin Roosevelt is and was one of the greatest leaders of all time. It is therefore no wonder that the term“100 days in office” originates from him.
He accomplished so much in his first 100 days in office; despite numerous challenges; that many years later every American President, CEO or leader, is
measured by what they do in their first 100 days.

Clean Water Project For Schools In Kenya

Posted by Emily Kanana Murungi
 
Most public schools in Kenya, especially in rural areas have been faced with water challenges ranging from inadequate water to unclean/unsafe water for drinking. This leads to poor sanitation and hygiene practices, school absenteeism due to water-borne diseases, contributing to poor academic performance.

Karen Community Clean Up exercise by The Rotary Club of Karen and Partners

Posted by Allister Lindsay
 
The Karen Shopping Centre has been experiencing an influx of various small traders who sell their merchandise, and food to members of the community. The area also serves as the primary stage for the vehicular movement around Karen. Over time, huge volumes of garbage have piled up around the area, clogging the sewerage system and making the area a health hazard prone to various types of diseases, due to environmental degradation. As such the aim of the project was to clean up the environment, since its members live, work and co-exist in the Karen community.

Year In Review
 
Happy New Month Rotarians and Happy Madaraka Day to all Kenyans!  June is designated as Rotary Fellowship Month where Rotarians are encouraged to participate in organized groups with those who share a common recreational interest or vocation. This month is also when the Rotary Internation Convention in Houston Texas USA is taking place, hot on the heels of our successful One Love District Conference in Diani last month. 
 
I was able to hand over leadership to our District's 2022/23 Governor, Azeb Asrat in the presence of Rotarians from our District and I am confident in her leadership to take our  District to greater heights.  This month will see similar transitions at our club level as members continue to conduct ceremonies to install their new presidents and board of directors.  The 2021/22 Rotary year is now coming to a close and I take this opportunity to acknowledge what we have accomplished this year.

Gachie. The mention of this name is enough to conjure up feelings of fear and dread, as it is widely known to be the supposed den of dens, harboring Nairobi City’s worst armed robbers and notorious gangsters.
 
This claim to infamy is because at one time, a famous armed robber did indeed reside and raise his family here. His daring exploits were admired by some of the town’s youth and his loot was shared amongst them in nights of drunken pleasure, causing a few to choose the same route as a means to get rich quick.

Hopeful Little Akaki
 

Posted by Rotary Ethiopia
 
By Rtn Milha Desta
I am taking you to the city of Addis Ababa founded in 1886 as Ethiopia’s capital. Its location was chosen by Empress Taytu Betul for the hot springs, abundant water resources and lush woodlands to serve as firewood. Now, more than a century later, a bustling capital city of nearly five million inhabitants, Addis Ababa suffers from water and electricity shortages. Addis draws its drinking water from the Gefersa and Legedadi reservoirs fed by rivers entering the city, as well as the Akaki well fields, supplied from the city’s groundwater. Hydropower plants dependent on rivers and other water bodies in the country generate 90% of the Ethiopia’s electricity. All of Addis’ rivers feed into Aba Samuel Lake and fuel hydropower generation. The outflow from there enters the much larger Awash River. One would be correct to assume rivers are vital for the city and every appropriate measure should be in place to protect and preserve water resources. In reality, Addis Ababa’s rivers are in dire straits.

Subsequently, on September 11th 2021, the club visited the dispensary for performance & needs assessment & identified a strong need for community outreach and sensitization. Thus, the idea of holding a medical camp was born, a day for the community and the surrounding area to receive medical services free of charge.

Focus on the quality of your membership.

All Rotaractors are young adults, but all young adults aren’t Rotaractors. Why not?

In recent days, concerns of members shying away from responsibilities or watching a few members tirelessly engage in all the activities of a club, leading to burning out is no more news. This isn’t a sustainable practice of engaging our members for the long run besides we become responsible for ruining the chance of bringing a Rotarian out of those dedicated Rotaractors.

Rotary’s Response to the 1918 Flu Pandemic

An estimated 500 million people worldwide became infected. Many cities closed theaters and cinemas, and placed restrictions on public gatherings. Rotary clubs adjusted their activities while also helping the sick.

This is how Rotary responded to the influenza pandemic that began in 1918 and came in three waves, lasting more than a year.

First Club in Philippines Opens Door to Rotary in Asia

In early 1919, Rotarian Roger Pinneo of Seattle, Washington, USA, traveled to the Philippines to try to organize a Rotary club in Manila. Leon J. Lambert, a Manila business leader helped Pinneo establish the club. Several months later, on 1 June 1919, the Rotary Club of Manila was chartered and became the first Rotary club in Asia.

The club would be the only one in the country for more than 12 years. Eventually, Manila club members organized Rotary clubs in the Philippine cities of Cebu (1932) and Iloilo (1933). Iloilo club members then started a club in Bacolod (1937), and Rotary continued to expand across the country.

Rotary at the start of the United Nations

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.

During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. 

Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”

Young Inventor Eco-Friendly Bricks Come Full Circle

Every hero has an origin story. “I was 10 years old when the entire journey started,” explains Binish Desai. It began with a cartoon called Captain Planet, an animated TV series from the 1990s about an environmentalist with superpowers. Desai can still recite the show’s refrain: Captain Planet, he’s our hero / Gonna take pollution down to zero! “That tagline stuck in my mind,” he says. “I wanted to do something to help Captain Planet.”
