My Family of Rotary,

Welcome to the New Year! The beginning of 2014 brings us to the second half of Rotary year 2013-2014, and it gives me great joy to look back and see the distance we have covered together. Thank you for being part of this great historic journey, joining hands with me and making an amazingly powerful and vitalizing team. Needless to say, there are many people out there who would be happy to join us but do not know how. Many envy us but are not aware that they are Rotary material and can join this great organisation. It is our duty as Rotarians to find them and educate them on what we do and how they can be part of us. We are also aware that there is another group of people out there who have a warped image of what Rotary is, and what we do. Again we have a duty to disabuse them of their misconceptions. This is an ongoing process that we must all take part in, to ensure that as many people as possible have an accurate understanding of Rotary. Another group that needs our attention is made up of our new Rotarians. These come on board with different expectations. But most of them have one thing in common; they are eager to serve and make a difference. I appeal to all Clubs to engage new members in all avenues of service. Mentor them and help them to learn that Rotary is a responsibility that we cannot afford to take lightly, but also one that guarantees a good amount of gratification to those who are committed to Service Above Self. During this Rotary Awareness Month, it is my hope that every Club will take a close look at how much of the above has been done. What strategy has been put in place to create Rotary awareness in the communities and how effective has it been? How many new members have been inducted into Rotary and what has been done to make them comfortable, happy and proud to be Rotarians? Fellow Rotarians, let us blow the Rotary trumpet not only by word of mouth, by also by the way we conduct our business.

Transforming Rotary Clubs Holly Ransom has more than 10,000 followers on Twit-ter. Her Facebook profile picture shows her with Hillary Clinton. She’s spoken to audiences all over Australia and in several other countries about intergenerational engagement and social innovation, and was recently named one of 100 “women of influence” by the Australian Financial Review. What makes this dizzying list of accomplishments even

more impressive is that Ransom is just 23 years old. In fact, she’s still finishing up her last year as a double major in law and economics at the University of Western Australia while also working as a business analyst for mining and metals multinational Rio Tinto. Ransom became one of Rotary’s youngest club presidents when she took the helm of the Rotary Club of Crawley in 2012. She’d joined in 2011, a year after the club was chartered with 20 members. Today, it has more than 100 members, who embrace “a different Rotary” — in that the club has dropped some of the usual formalities, recruits across generations, and focuses on volunteer opportunities. Ransom believes that Rotary’s leadership development, mentorship, and intergenerational attitude are all unique selling points for attracting young leaders. She says that young professionals need to feel comfortable in the club

environment, which often means scaling back formality and tradition to emphasise inclusiveness.

“I hope to play a lead role in the reinvigoration of the Rotary movement and help to improve its relevancy and

engagement of the younger generations.”

Lessons from the Conflict in South

Sudan

Our speaker last week was President Elect—Rtn Sheila Kawamara–Mishambi who has just returned from a short term work contract for the UN Women and Government of South Sudan (GOSS).

While narrating her experience of escaping

from the latest conflict in South Sudan, Rtn Sheila also highlighted a few lessons that she considers important for the future of GOSS. These include the need to:

Promote a governance model hinged on the principles of inclusiveness, compromise and power sharing rather than the winner takes it all.

Broaden the ongoing peace talks to include other stakeholders other than the main warring factions since other people also have a stake in the stability of the country. Including women who bear the brunt of such conflicts is critical.

Limit foreign intervention to peace-keeping duties and give the Sudanese an opportunity to craft their own path to peace.

Avoid dividing and managing countries along ethnic lines & promote an ethos of nationalism.

Reminiscing days gone by

December is for me the best time of the year. Not only do I get a break from work – but also the opportunity to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and party. While back in the day you would expect to receive new clothes, participate in Christmas plays and listen to Christmas carols at our local church, things have changed. As time goes on, the old traditions are slowly fading and all you can hear

these days is the old Boney M songs and Philly Lutaaya’s “Merry Christmas—Bonne Annee” blaring from shops in the city.

You can therefore imagine my delight when we got an invitation from Rtn Julie that RC Kasangati was organizing Christmas Carols. For me this was a great opportunity to not only to reminisce childhood Christmas memories but to also bring back the spirit of Christmas into our ‘dot.com’ families.

So my family and Rtn Lad Ategeka’s family got together, formed a choir and we sang! The choir idea brought new meaning to the Family of Rotary and was an opportunity for us to

celebrate the Rotary family month. Cont’d on Pg 4.

Bible Stories gone wrong…..

A pastor recently drowned in front of his congregation as he tried to walk on water.

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation that he had received a revelation that told him that with enough faith he could do what Jesus was able to do. According to an eyewitness the

pastor took his congregation out to the beach in Libreville. He told them that he would cross the Kombo estuary by foot, which is normally a 20-minute boat ride.

Sadly, Kabele found himself completely submerged on the 2nd step and never came up.

At Ibadan zoo in south-west Nigeria, a self-proclaimed prophet claimed he was able to do what the Daniel did by walking into a den full of lions.

The zoo keepers had warned the man numerous times, but he saw them as the enemies of his progress. With a crowd watching, the man put on a red robe and attempted to enter the cage full of lions. Within seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the man apart.

The moral of these stories—keep the faith but do not try out everything that you read!

Caroling in Kasangati

Bring two families of Rotarians together and what do you get? The Family of Rotary! Well, when the Ategeka and Serugo families got together they went one step further. We formed the RC Kampala-Naalya “Family Choir!”

The “Family Choir” made a guest appearance at RC Kasangati’s Christmas Carols gala on 23rd December and we left quite an impression.

The “Family Choir” was the brain child of Rtn Flavia who swiftly assembled a team of vocalists. From the Serugo family, we had Maggie, James Jr, Cousin Kathy (a regular visitor to RC Kampala Naalya) and Flavia as ‘Conductor’. To complete the ensemble, Rotarian Lad played the lead guitar, while my girls (Estella & Amanda) did the back-up guitars. My “Ann” Florence added her beautiful vocals as our son Edgar hummed along.

We did renditions of popular X-Mas Carols like Silent Night and Away in a Manger so beautifully that every Buddy Group from RC Kasangati was demand-ing that we sing with them. Too bad, that in the heat of the excitement, we forgot to take pictures of the live performance.
