Do it with a Smile

Our organisation gives us hundreds of reasons to rejoice. We rejoice in the friendship of strangers who become our friends for life! We rejoice extending a helping hand to people who need it the most! We rejoice in our efforts to make this world a better place for our future generations! We rejoice when we are able to keep our surroundings clean! We rejoice when we know we are building tomorrow by sending our children to school!


We believe in "Happier Futures, Better Lives!"- our International key project for children across the world.
The point is how do we adopt this project in India?
By addressing the core need of society and the community LITERACY & EDUCATION
When we educate a person several anomalies get sorted out on their own. The issues of drug addiction, ill treatment of women, neglect of seniors, loss of values in children, wayward youth, improper sanitation and more - can all be taken care of, if every child and adult is educated.
We are adopting the International project under "SMILE" - the acronym under which we shall target our programmes & projects this year.
First of all, let us serve with joy in our heart and smile on our lips. Even while furthering the cause of friendship, we shall have happiness in our heart.
SHALL STAND FOR FOUR THRUST AREAS
S is for Sanitation: Each Club, One Toilet
Construct toilets in your village, town or city. Do it by yourselves or by joining hands with other organisations.
M is for Member: Each Club, One Member
Membership development and member retention is a must. Membership strength should be increased. Opt for smarter and better programmes.
I is for Image Building of our organisation: Each Club, One IB Programme/Project
Plan and implement at least one programme aimed at publicising the work done by your club. Let the world know about your programmes and projects.
L is for Literacy: One Member, One Girl Child
Let each member take up the mantle to help one girl child to become literate. Send one child to school. If she is a dropout, ensure she goes back to school. Take up other verticals of the TEACH PROGRAM of Rotary India Literacy Mission.
E is for Evaluation: Each Club, Evaluate its efforts
Evaluate your efforts and the results before and after the project/programme is implemented.
Let us also engage in self-evaluation. Each of us should judge oneself for one's role in this organisation. An introspection within ourselves, leading us to realise the value of Inner Wheel in our lives. Why we are in Inner Wheel? This question shall motivate each one of us to be more productive than ever before and take our role a bit more seriously. Let us achieve to the best of our potential.
I am confident that you will adopt these projects and further our organisation and its goals. Let us give back more to our society than what we get from it. Let each one of us be UNIQUE in our own way, come together and reach our goal.UNITED we always achieve more and are better rewarded.

  1. My dear friends. .let's come united to enhance our public image. ..and make a difference! 60 years in Inner Wheel is not a small period. 68 years of Independence and it calls for a promise from all of us. Let's unite and send back 35000 children back to school. I can't do everything alone but we can do something like this together!
