Building peace in a fractured land |
|
In the western region of Galilee, the Rotary Club of Jerusalem, Israel, brings together 50 Jewish and Arab students from four schools to talk about their similarities and differences. The peace education program, designed and led by a former Rotary Peace Fellows, is supported by a global grant from The Rotary Foundation. The Jerusalem club has been focused on peace since its charter in 1929. It is just one example of how Rotary members around the world are working to build peace.

A ShelterBox Response Team is in Pakistan working
to get emergency shelter aid to thousands of people
left with nowhere to live, following the devastating floods
. Our initial emergency response will aim to support
thousands of people in the KPK (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
and Sindh provinces.
For our first project, we are working in partnership with
Islamic Relief Worldwide and Islamic Relief Pakistan
to distribute tents, water filters and carriers,
mosquito nets, and solar lights to thousands of people
affected by the floods.
Once our aid is in-country, we’ll be delivering training
with our partners, on how to use our equipment
and erect tents so that this knowledge can be shared
with the affected communities.
If you are one the generous supporters that have already donated,
please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of those people
that will receive essential aid in the coming days 😊.
Many thousands remain without basic shelter and clean water,
at risk from the elements and disease.
If you haven't donated yet, please consider making a gift today.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative
is deeply saddened by the passing of
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her leadership, steadfastness and commitment
to service was exemplary throughout her life,
and made her a globally-respected moral voice
for some of the most marginalized people in our world.
We wish to express our deepest sympathy
to her family and of course to all the people
of the UK and indeed the Commonwealth.
The UK, Commonwealth and indeed
the Royal Family have long been a proud
and important supporter to the global eradication effort
, and none has arguably been a more committed
advocate than His Majesty King Charles III.
While still HRH Prince of Wales, Charles III
engaged personally in this effort,
adding his voice and commitment to ensuring children
around the world are fully protected
from lifelong polio paralysis.
In October 2003 in India, HRH Prince Charles
participated in Polio National Immunization Days,
observing the vaccination of children in villages
on the outskirts of New Delhi.
In 2018, at the Commonwealth Leaders Summit,
HRH Prince Charles highlighted the polio programme
as an example of successful, joint action
against disease,
noting that hundreds of millions of children
have benefitted from polio vaccination
thanks to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
In 2013, during another visit to India,
he acknowledged Rotary’s tremendous efforts
in eradicating polio in India,
as he accepted and posed with a
Rotary
‘End Polio Now’ scarf for media photographers.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative would
like to extend our very best wishes
to His Majesty King Charles III,
for a long and successful reign.
Under his leadership, and indeed the UK
and the Commonwealth’s,
the effort to eradicate polio will continue
unabated until our common goal of achieving
a lasting world free of all forms of poliovirus
is fully achieved.

Our Club is 50+ years old and, as some of you may
know,
the Rotary Club of Batavia Coast holds a few fascinating traditions
as part of our gatherings/meeting.
One of which is a “loyal toast”.
Out of interest, this is a salute given to the
sovereign monarch
or head of state of the country in which a formal gathering is being given,
or by expatriates of that country,
whether or not the particular head of state is present.
It is usually a matter of protocol at state and military occasions,
and a display of patriotic sentiment at civilian events.
The toast is usually initiated and recited by the host before
being repeated by the assembled guests in unison;
the composition varying between
regions and types of gathering.
With the passing of Queen Elizabeth the Second,
an historic reign and a long life devoted to duty
, family, faith and service that has come to an end,
we were able to gift our framed official portrait of the Queen
to our dear Peter C on this historic day.
