EDITOR'S DESK

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

We’ve bid farewell to the year 2023, a year marked by social and economic fluctuations. As proud Rotarians, we stood strong to continue serving our community in their moments of need.

The commendable efforts of clubs across District 3292 have been truly heartening. Yet, I firmly believe there are numerous service projects undertaken by your club that have yet to be shared with the GML team. We eagerly await hearing from all of you, learning about your positive aspirations, and witnessing your support across all seven focus areas of Rotary in your communities.

Rotarians have taken bold steps against Polio, playing a pivotal role in its eradication, although there’s still a little further to go. As we observe December as ‘Disease Prevention and Treatment Month,’ we should take pride in our accomplishments so far.

Amidst growing lifestyle challenges worldwide, mental health issues have come to the forefront. In response, RI President Gordon R. McInally initiated the theme ‘Create Hope in the World’. Rotarians from our district have admirably contributed to uplifting lives through numerous service projects aligned with this theme. Witnessing these initiatives leaves me truly speechless.

Additionally, this month brought us great pleasure and pride as our district leaders were acknowledged and honored for their outstanding efforts across various disciplines during the Zonal conference in India. Thank you leaders for your exceptional work, raising the District’s image on the international stage.

The first Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) of Rotary Year 2023-24 is set to take place in Pokhara, themed ‘Be a Pragmatic Leader’. This event promises to be exemplary in nurturing our youth for a brighter future and I urge all club leaders to support the event.

Equally inspiring is the active involvement of our younger generations in Rotaract and Interact, making exceptional contributions to the community. I’m delighted to dedicate a special page in GML to celebrate their remarkable achievements.

Lastly, I extend warm wishes to all for a prosperous and fulfilling New Year in 2024. May this upcoming year bring an abundance of goodness into each of our lives.

Yours in Rotary,

Rtn. Raj Shrestha
