We know that by working together, we can achieve greater good than by working alone. We know that united in Rotary, we can Make Dreams Real for all of the world's children by reducing the rate of child mortality.
We must provide hope and a chance at a future for all children, both in our local communities and in communities far away, because without Rotary, children's needs are going unmet every day. This is why I am asking everyone to use the knowledge acquired in recent years working with water, health and hunger, and literacy to do the most good we can to improve the lives of children around the globe, and inspire other Rotarians to do the same.
As you make your plans for the next Rotary year, remember to focus on developing projects that make sure children have clean water, improved overall health, and the opportunity to go to school. We must work together, one club with another, to do what is needed.
Please join me this year in Making Dreams Real by beginning to turn safe and happy childhoods into long and healthy lives.
Sincerely,
D. K. Lee
President, Rotary International 2008-09
