tion radio program of PP Rey Remonde at Radyo

 Rotarys biggest event of the year starts now
By Rotary International
The 108th annual Rotary International Conven-
tion officially opens Sunday, 11 June, but Rotary
members from across the globe have already
begun pouring into Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to at-
tend preconvention events, catch up with
friends, and enjoy Americas Southern hospital-
ity.
More than 40,000 members from 174 countries
are expected to attend this years event, which
runs 10-14 June. During those five days, atten-
dees will hear from world-class speakers, watch
Rotarys new virtual reality film, and party like its
1917.
Ashton Kutcher, Bill Gates, John Cena, and
Jack Nicklaus are just some of the excit-
ing speakers at this years convention. During
general sessions, attendees will learn how tech-
nology is helping to fight child sexual exploita-
tion, about our progress to eradicate polio, and
how Rotarys new public image campaign
strengthens our global grand.
During One Small Act: A Virtual Reality Experi-
ence, participants will be among the first to see
Rotarys latest virtual reality film and participate
in one of the largest simultaneous virtual reality
viewings. Plan now to attend and see for your-
self the impact that small acts of compassion
can have.
The culmination of a yearlong celebration of The
Rotary Foundations centennial takes place at

tennial photo exhibit that showcases the Foun-
dations global leadership in humanitarian ser-
vice are also on the program.

 YMCA Invented Basketball 125 years ago. Now
They Are Using it to Bring People Together
By NISHA KOTECHA, Founder of Good News Shared

Sport has been a vital part of our work since

our early beginnings in 1844, so its a fitting
tribute to our founder Sir George Williams to
get as many people as possible involved in
basketball as part of our world challenge.

YMCA is a global family and were excited to

join our friends and colleagues around the
world in this important challenge to highlight
the positive impact we can have when we all
come together.

In addition to local YMCA activities across Eng-

YMCAs across England and Wales are joining land and Wales, it is hoped that YMCAs as far
forces for the YMCA World Challenge on Satur- afield as India, Brazil, Germany and Nigeria will

sations 173rd anniversary next week.
Know more about YMCA of Manila.
Local YMCAs will offer a number of ac-
tivities to engage as many people as
possible in basketball, which will range
from seated basketball sessions to
shooting hoops competitions, and much
more.

Basketball, which was invented at

YMCA Springfield College in the USA
125 years ago this year, will bring to-
gether YMCAs in 119 countries in cele-
bration of the charitys birthday to show
that sport is more than just good fun
and, at its best, serves local communi-
ties and empowers young people.

SERVICE ABOVE SELF
The Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and
foster the ideal of service as a basis of wor-
thy enterprise and, in particular, to encour-
age and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance
as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in busi-
ness and professions, the recognition of the
worthiness of all useful occupations, and
the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation
as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of ser-
vice in each Rotarian's personal, business,
and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of interna-
tional understanding, goodwill, and peace
through a world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in the ideal of
service.
The Four-Way Test
OF THE THINGS we think, say or do
1) Is it the TRUTH?
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3) Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?
Rotarian Code of Conduct
As a Rotarian, I will
1) Act with integrity and high ethical stan-
dards in my personal and professional life
2) Deal fairly with others and treat them
and their occupations with respect
3) Use my professional skills through Ro-
tary to mentor young people, help those
with special needs, and improve peoples
quality of life in my community and in the
world
4) Avoid behaviour that reflects adversely
on Rotary or other Rotarians
Rotary members share why their global
grant projects worked so well
Q: What made your global
grant project successful?
Share success stories on Rotary
Showcase, and think how to involve
Rotarian Action Groups and Rotary
Community Corps as project part-
ners. Identifying Rotary project part-
ners ensures that your good work is
shared within our communities and
the world. These partners may also
help assure that the benefits from
the project are sustainable.
For example, through a global grant,
the Rotary Club of San Pedro South in
the Philippines installed a solar pow-
ered potable water treatment system at
a local elementary school benefiting
1100 students. The project included a
deep well with a submersible pump pow-
ered by a solar panel. The system can

produce up to 2000 liters per hour when
the solar panel is at its peak capacity. To
manage project operations and mainte-
nance, including how to share the pota-
ble water with the surrounding commu-
nity, the Cuyab Rotary Community
Corps (RCC) was formed with officers
from the school faculty, parent teacher
association and local government. The
RCC will decide how the water will be
shared with the nearby community, its
price, schedule and mechanics.
Rotary Club of Cartagena de Indias, Co-
lombia. The involvement of the Rotary
Community Corps of Leticia, Colombia,
was essential. The RCC proposed the
project, helped select the beneficiaries,
coordinated and supervised the con-
struction of the sanitary facilities, and
participated actively in promoting the
program to everyone in the community,
not only the direct beneficiaries. Our
partnership with the Universidad San
Buenaventura Cartagena, which pro-
vided training and donated educational
materials, was also vital.
The examples of RCCs cited above con-
firm what we often observe as character-
istic of effective RCCs. RCC members must
understand that they have been formed to
serve as partners of Rotary clubs in pro-
viding service to the community, not a
group of people who should expect to be
direct beneficiaries of Rotary projects.
