Honouring Sam Owori
The Awards have been named the Sam Owori Awards in honour of the late Rotary International President-elect Sam F. Owori.
“Rotary has become a way of life for me – with the intrinsic value and core belief in mutual responsibility and concern for one another as a cornerstone,” Sam said when he was nominated. “I feel immense satisfaction knowing that through Rotary, I’ve helped someone live better.”
