Dear Friends,
Month of April is designated as Magazine month by Rotary
International. Club bulletins and Rotary Magazines have always
been an effective media to propagate the club projects and
activities to the friends of Rotary and general public, as also
preserve the memories for future.
Club bulletin also provides a platform for Rotarians, Anns and
Annette to share the thoughts and information with Rotary
family and friends. Over the years the digital medium and
social network has enhanced the reach of such magazines and
we are able to reach the audience quickly, effectively and at a
small cost compared to the traditional way.
Currently we have adopted print as well as digital route for our
club monthly bulletin “The Dream” with about 400 copies
circulated in the entire district as well as uploaded on club
website and online portal - ISSUU, how ever there are healthy
debates at the club level on which way to go ahead.
There are many factors to consider when discussing the
matter of e-magazine v/s printed one, but ultimately, it boils
down to the reader’s preference. Avid readers claim that
there’s still nothing like the rustle of the pages and paper as
the reader flips through the book, there’s that intimate feel
good factor about the entire experience, they claim and it’s
one that cannot be derived from the cold, electronic e-version.
On the other hand, those who prefer the e-version often say
that the handy device takes a whole lot of weight from their
shoulders – literally, and they can have access to the magazine
with a click at any time and any where. Apart from these
physical considerations, however, studies have shown that
when it comes to reading comprehension, printed books are
still a better choice.
There’s also the matter of production cost. Obviously, printed
books cost more because of the resources needed and logistic
required for the distribution to the targeted audience, E-book
though, only requires publishing, and from then on everything
is digital with a wide reach at fraction of the cost per book, as
compared to printed books.
So what ever is the mode - Print or Online It is Important to
have a club bulletin as the purpose of the magazine is to
advance the Object of Rotary in all its aspects. “There seems
to be a direct relationship between the quality of a club bulletin
and the quality of the club. or establishing a direct cause-and-
effect relationship. We can say, “The club that has a good
bulletin will be an active club,” or “The active club will have a
good bulletin.”
Rotary Magazine should be a effective PR tool to strengthen
and enhance it’s image, though Rotary being a over 100 year
old organisation a recent global survey shows that out of 10, 4
have never heard of Rotary, 4 know us by name only and 2
have some familiarity. considering the great work done by
Rotary this is not good news and precisely the reason for our
stagnant membership worldwide.
There are so many NGO’s which do little work but garner most
of the charity funds through better publicity of their work.
This reminds me of the story; there were 2 strangers fond of
hunting, met in a jungle. They entered deep jungle and ran out
of bullets. Just then they heard a lion roaring. Both started
running, but one of them took a short break and changed to
sports shoes. What are you doing? We must first get to the car
said the other. The first one, realizing that the lion would stop
after getting it’s prey responded, “No. I only have to ensure
that I remain ahead of you.”
In today’s competitive world it is important to stay ahead of
others, even by a couple of steps and our PR needs to do that.

<<< A Time for Action
This project aims to promote education
of out-of-school children, including those
who are either differently abled or
otherwise at risk, by facilitating their
access to mainstream State-funded
primary/elementary schools so that they
are enabled to complete studies The
RILM Asha Kiran Back-to School program
follows thus directly from the dismal
status of child education in India
mentioned above.
What are the activities included in Child
Development?
The activities included in this project are:
I. Facilitating formal education of
children at risk, differently-abled
children and other vulnerable children
who are out of school or only
nominally on school roles, by getting
them admitted to mainstream State-
funded schools after providing them
necessary supplemental/non-formal
education.
ii. Engaging in advocacy for:
(a) provision in these schools, of
statutory amenities based on the
needs of such children by leveraging
the RTE Act.
(b) promoting teacher sensitivity to the
needs of these children and
(c) appropriate teacher training for
handling them. Note: The activities
described above may be undertaken
directly or in partnership with non-
governmental organizations (NGOs)
already working with such children.
iii. Providing scholarships to meritorious
students from these groups as well
as other socio-economically
disadvantaged sections.
What are the different ways in which
you can take up Child Development
Program?
1. A Club may itself identify the children
and initiate supplemental/non-formal
education in order to prepare them for
enrolment in State-funded schools, or
to prevent them from dropping out of
school.
2. A Club may alternatively identify an
NGO in its own area/RI District that
has credible experience of working in
the field of Child Development and
sign a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the latter.
The NGO would in that case be the
agency to identify and prepare the
children to go to/remain in school.
3. A Club could also identify NGO
partners working in States outside its
RI District and enter into a MoU with
it for the same purpose. This should
be done with the con- sent of the
District Governor of the other District
where the work
will be done.
D. Who are the
target groups for
Child
Development?
1. Children at Risk
like:
What is RILM
Child Development
Program?
(RILM: Rotary India Literacy Mission)
APRIL 2015 THE dream |03|
Children of convicts, juvenile
offenders, children of sex workers,
children of migrant workers, victims
of child labour practices, HIV positive
children, children of HIV positive
parents, orphans, homeless children,
etc.,
2. Differently-abled children like
vision/hearing impaired, etc., and
3. Other Vulnerable children (though
not at risk as above) who have never
been to school or have dropped out,
or are on school rolls for namesake.
How will you identify children for Child
Development?
For Clubs wishing to take up Child
Development Project directly:
1. You may motivate Club members or
mobilize volunteers (by using the
Volunteer Management Tool at
www.rotaryteach.org or by speaking
to the DLCC to identify volunteers
who have registered for this program)
to identify and select an area for
survey and identification of children
belonging to any of the target groups
mentioned above.
2. For such survey, you may use Survey
Form for Child Development Project
Form No. C1 available at Resources
Download Forms at
www.rotaryteach.org
For Clubs working with an NGO:
1. The NGO should be asked to identify
the children they would work with and
prepare for school. The Club may
assist the NGO with the Survey Form
for Child Development Project Form
No. C1. The NGO must provide to the
Club the full details of the base- line
survey undertaken by it.

Know your Rotary
A. What is the status of provision of facilities mandated under
the Right to Education Act in Government/Government-
aided schools?
According to the Annual Status of Education Report* (ASER)
2014:
58.85% Government schools have boundary wall.
65.3% Government schools have a playground.
78.1% Government schools have libraries.
65.2% Government schools have useable toilets. Further,
55.7% Government Schools have useable girls’ toilets.
75.6% Government schools have drinking water facilities.
* The data above relate to Government and Government-aided
primary/elementary schools in rural areas.
B. What is a Happy School?
According to the T-E-A-C-H program, for a primary (class I - IV)
or elementary (classI - VIII) school to be called a “Happy
School”, the following eight facilities must exist:
a. Painted, well maintained and secure school building,
b. Clean and hygienic separate toilets for boys and girls,
c. Safe and adequate drinking water for both students and
teachers,
d. Library,
e. Uniforms and footwear for every student,
f. Play material, games and sports equipment,
g. Benches and desks for better student-teacher interaction,
and
h. Well maintained space for teaching staff.
C. What type of schools should you select?
1. For selecting a Happy School it is recommended that a Club
surveys 3-4 schools.
2. For the survey, select either primary or elementary or
secondary schools that are“State-funded”, that is, funded by
the State Government or a Municipal Corporation/Council or
a Zilla Parishad/Panchayat Samiti/Village Panchayat.
Secondary schools with elementary classes may also be
considered. The focus of all projects under T-EA-C-H is on
primary or elementary schools.
3. A school that lacks at least five of the eight facilities
mentioned in Section A is eligible to be taken up under the
Happy School Project. You may also select a school where
less than five items are missing. Go ahead and do good
work at that school as well.However, you will not be eligible
for a grant from RILM.
4. Once selected a school becomes Happy only when all 8
items exist in the school. For example: If the school lacks 6
items, the Club is expected to provide for all 6. If the Club is
not able / willing to take up all 6 items and wants to take up
just 5, then it has to ensure that the school itself has either
planned to or will soon provide for the remaining item in its
School Development Plan.

D. How can you survey and select school for making a Happy
School?
1. You can survey schools to select one or more schools for
the proposed activity, using the School Information Form No.
H1/3 available at the Download Forms section of the
Resources tab of www.rotaryteach.org
2. Mobilize surveyors, who could be either Club members or
volunteers.
3. To use volunteers, refer to the presentation titled ‘Role of
Volunteers in Happy Schools’ available at the Resources tab
of www.rotaryteach.org
4. Give each surveyor a letter of introduction addressed to the
Head Teacher, requesting permission for survey. Tell the
surveyors that they should explain the purpose of the survey
to the school authority, while gently making it clear that
survey does not mean automatic selection of the school for
Happy School Program.
5. Each surveyor will have to undertake a physical inspection of
the school and speak to the teachers and students to
ascertain the condition of the facilities in the school.
6. The surveyor will also have to take pictures of the existing
condition of each facility/service in the school.
7. The information on each surveyed school should then be
uploaded by revisiting the www.rotaryteach.org link to the
‘School Information Form’ and filling in details. This data will
be useful for future reference at RILM and will become part
of a database to assist other Clubs in school identification.
School Development Plan
A School Development Plan, to be prepared by the School
Management Committee, is a three year plan with three annual
sub-plans which contain details of
1. estimate of class-wise enrolment for each year;
2. requirement of additional teachers, in accordance with the
norms of the RTE Act;
3. requirement of funds for additional infrastructure and
equipment, in accordance with the norms of the RTE Act; and
4. additional financial requirement for entitlements of children such
as free text books and uniforms and any other responsibilities
of the school under the RTE Act.
8. Based on the information from the survey, select a school
for your Happy School Program.
9. For Clubs seeking Grant from RILM for their Happy School
Program, please fill in the relevant information in Part B:
School Information Form of the Happy School Grant
Application Form No. H1/2 available at the Resources tab of
www.rotaryteach.org.
E. How will you execute a Happy School Program?
1. Having determined which facilities/services need to be
installed/created/provided for the selected school to be
made ‘Happy’, move on to estimating the costs for each
component. For this purpose, obtain quotations from 3
vendors.
2. Estimate the project implementation schedule for each
activity with time line.
3. Determine the roles of the Rotarians of the Club in project
implementation,
4. Assess the need and then actually forge partnerships with
any other Rotary Club, Rotaract Club, Rotary Community
Corp, NGO, Inner Wheel Club, Corporate or individual, and
5. Clarify the division of responsibilities of each partner.
F. How can you fund a Happy School Program and get RILM
Support?
1. You may choose to fund the Happy School Program through
the Club’s own funds or to enter into tie-up with a local
Corporate for financial and/or material support.
2. You may also apply for a grant from RILM through a grant
application process. RILM may approve grants to the extent
of 50% of the total project cost (including 5% of the total
works cost as administrative cost) to the maximum of Rs.
2.5 lakh.
G. How can you plan for sustainability of Happy Schools?
1. You would need to plan along with the SMC/ school
authorities/ local authorities/parent-teacher groups/ students
for:
physical maintenance (including Annual Maintenance
Contract –AMC) and upkeep of the installed facilities.
resource allocation for periodic future maintenance and
upkeep.
Some tips on Sustainability:
a. Start an award system amongst schools which have been
adopted for Happy Schools Program in a certain area. This
might encourage the schools to take efforts in maintaining
the facilities installed.
b. Start an award system inside the adopted school as well to
award volunteers who could be mobilized to work at the
maintenance of facilities installed.
BILATERAL CONGENITAL ABSENCE OF TIBIAOur project of Surgical Treatment for the disabled is now in its
15th year. We have been able to make a positive difference to
many of the differently abled children and adults from Goa and
surrounding areas of Karnataka and Maharashtra. Our
dedicated service to the handicapped, and the positive results
has been known all over and we have referrals from all corners
of Goa.
Mast Pandurang Sagar Gaonkar, 2 yrs of age, was referred for
treatment by Rotary Club of Bicholim.
He was born with abnormalities of both lower limbs. He also
had bilateral undescended testes, which were surgically
treated.
The child had perfectly normal upper limbs and normal
vertebral column. His higher functions were normal. He had
complex deformities of both the lower limbs.
Both hips were in external rotation. The knees were prominent
and lower femur seemed to be jutting out. The legs were short
and could not be straightened out. The soles of both feet were
facing the front and feet had deformities. None of the
deformities could be stretched or corrected passively.
The x-ray showed absence of both the tibiae and the proximal
fibula were lying posteriorly. There was no ankle joint and the
foot was in equinus and lying medial to the lower end of fibula.
This obviously was a case of congenital absence of Tibia,
Type 1. This is a very rare condition and so far only 250 cases
have been reported in the literature. The treatment advocated
for this condition is Disarticulation at the knee joint and Pylon
prosthesis. However there have been attempts made to align
the fibula to the femur and get a straight limb.
Amputation or disarticulation was just not an option for the
parents, and hence I considered trying to correct the condition
by other means. The problems in such cases are many and
open surgical procedures are associated with many
complications. This is because the major blood vessels and
nerves just behind the knee and could be damaged if acutely
corrected. Also the anatomy of the limb and the joint is totally
altered and open surgery is bound to be complicated and with
uncertain outcome.
I had been using external fixator for deformity correction since
long and had uniformly good results. I made thermocool
models of the femur and tibia and constructed an assembly of
the fixator rods and the clamps, and planned the procedure by
which in the first stage I would bring the fibula anterior to lie
under the distal end of femur. Once I achieve that I devised a
hinge and changed the distractors to gradually distract and
straighten the leg over the distal femur. The lower end of the
assembly would also correct the deformity of the foot. If the
planning worked I would be able to use the same original pins
to correct all the deformities.

D. How can you survey and select school for making a Happy
School?
1. You can survey schools to select one or more schools for
the proposed activity, using the School Information Form No.
H1/3 available at the Download Forms section of the
Resources tab of www.rotaryteach.org
2. Mobilize surveyors, who could be either Club members or
volunteers.
3. To use volunteers, refer to the presentation titled ‘Role of
Volunteers in Happy Schools’ available at the Resources tab
of www.rotaryteach.org
4. Give each surveyor a letter of introduction addressed to the
Head Teacher, requesting permission for survey. Tell the
surveyors that they should explain the purpose of the survey
to the school authority, while gently making it clear that
survey does not mean automatic selection of the school for
Happy School Program.
5. Each surveyor will have to undertake a physical inspection of
the school and speak to the teachers and students to
ascertain the condition of the facilities in the school.
6. The surveyor will also have to take pictures of the existing
condition of each facility/service in the school.
7. The information on each surveyed school should then be
uploaded by revisiting the www.rotaryteach.org link to the
‘School Information Form’ and filling in details. This data will
be useful for future reference at RILM and will become part
of a database to assist other Clubs in school identification.
School Development Plan
A School Development Plan, to be prepared by the School
Management Committee, is a three year plan with three annual
sub-plans which contain details of
1. estimate of class-wise enrolment for each year;
2. requirement of additional teachers, in accordance with the
norms of the RTE Act;
3. requirement of funds for additional infrastructure and
equipment, in accordance with the norms of the RTE Act; and
4. additional financial requirement for entitlements of children such
as free text books and uniforms and any other responsibilities
of the school under the RTE Act.
8. Based on the information from the survey, select a school
for your Happy School Program.
9. For Clubs seeking Grant from RILM for their Happy School
Program, please fill in the relevant information in Part B:
School Information Form of the Happy School Grant
Application Form No. H1/2 available at the Resources tab of
www.rotaryteach.org.
E. How will you execute a Happy School Program?
1. Having determined which facilities/services need to be
installed/created/provided for the selected school to be
made ‘Happy’, move on to estimating the costs for each
component. For this purpose, obtain quotations from 3
vendors.
2. Estimate the project implementation schedule for each
activity with time line.
3. Determine the roles of the Rotarians of the Club in project
implementation,
4. Assess the need and then actually forge partnerships with
any other Rotary Club, Rotaract Club, Rotary Community
Corp, NGO, Inner Wheel Club, Corporate or individual, and
5. Clarify the division of responsibilities of each partner.
F. How can you fund a Happy School Program and get RILM
Support?
1. You may choose to fund the Happy School Program through
the Club’s own funds or to enter into tie-up with a local
Corporate for financial and/or material support.
2. You may also apply for a grant from RILM through a grant
application process. RILM may approve grants to the extent
of 50% of the total project cost (including 5% of the total
works cost as administrative cost) to the maximum of Rs.
2.5 lakh.
G. How can you plan for sustainability of Happy Schools?
1. You would need to plan along with the SMC/ school
authorities/ local authorities/parent-teacher groups/ students
for:
physical maintenance (including Annual Maintenance
Contract –AMC) and upkeep of the installed facilities.
resource allocation for periodic future maintenance and
upkeep.
Some tips on Sustainability:
a. Start an award system amongst schools which have been
adopted for Happy Schools Program in a certain area. This
might encourage the schools to take efforts in maintaining
the facilities installed.
b. Start an award system inside the adopted school as well to
award volunteers who could be mobilized to work at the
maintenance of facilities installed.
BILATERAL CONGENITAL ABSENCE OF TIBIAOur project of Surgical Treatment for the disabled is now in its
15th year. We have been able to make a positive difference to
many of the differently abled children and adults from Goa and
surrounding areas of Karnataka and Maharashtra. Our
dedicated service to the handicapped, and the positive results
has been known all over and we have referrals from all corners
of Goa.
Mast Pandurang Sagar Gaonkar, 2 yrs of age, was referred for
treatment by Rotary Club of Bicholim.
He was born with abnormalities of both lower limbs. He also
had bilateral undescended testes, which were surgically
treated.
The child had perfectly normal upper limbs and normal
vertebral column. His higher functions were normal. He had
complex deformities of both the lower limbs.
Both hips were in external rotation. The knees were prominent
and lower femur seemed to be jutting out. The legs were short
and could not be straightened out. The soles of both feet were
facing the front and feet had deformities. None of the
deformities could be stretched or corrected passively.
The x-ray showed absence of both the tibiae and the proximal
fibula were lying posteriorly. There was no ankle joint and the
foot was in equinus and lying medial to the lower end of fibula.
This obviously was a case of congenital absence of Tibia,
Type 1. This is a very rare condition and so far only 250 cases
have been reported in the literature. The treatment advocated
for this condition is Disarticulation at the knee joint and Pylon
prosthesis. However there have been attempts made to align
the fibula to the femur and get a straight limb.
Amputation or disarticulation was just not an option for the
parents, and hence I considered trying to correct the condition
by other means. The problems in such cases are many and
open surgical procedures are associated with many
complications. This is because the major blood vessels and
nerves just behind the knee and could be damaged if acutely
corrected. Also the anatomy of the limb and the joint is totally
altered and open surgery is bound to be complicated and with
uncertain outcome.
I had been using external fixator for deformity correction since
long and had uniformly good results. I made thermocool
models of the femur and tibia and constructed an assembly of
the fixator rods and the clamps, and planned the procedure by
which in the first stage I would bring the fibula anterior to lie
under the distal end of femur. Once I achieve that I devised a
hinge and changed the distractors to gradually distract and
straighten the leg over the distal femur. The lower end of the
assembly would also correct the deformity of the foot. If the
planning worked I would be able to use the same original pins
to correct all the deformities.

APRIL 2015 THE dream |09|
I started with plaster casts
under anesthesia, where in I
could pull the fibula anteriorly
and also correct the foot
deformity. The initial plasters
also help in judging the
compliance of the patient and
the parents for the treatment.
After three such casts in a
period of one month, I started
the planned treatment. This
involved passing steel pins in
the thigh, the leg bone and
the foot. The assembly is
fitted and two distracters are
incorporated so that the leg is
pulled anteriorly. This is done
at the rate of 1 mm per day, which is one thread per day. That
too is turned at half thread in morning and half in the evening.
This prevents any damage to the vital structures and also helps
in regenerating the stretched tissues.
Within one week it was visible that the technique was working.
The distraction was continued till the proximal fibula was lying
below and anterior to the lower end of femur. The progress
was monitored by x-rays every week.
Once the adequate position was achieved, the assembly was
modified. A hinge was incorporated at the junction of the
femur and the leg. Two distractors were attached on either
side, bridging the knee area, so that when distracted the leg
would get straightened and also distracted. Serial x rays
monitored the progress. After there was adequate
straightening and distraction, the hinges were removed and
the leg was immobilized with a straight frame. The fibula was
placed just under the femoral condyle and the fixator was
tightened.
The foot too was incorporated and maintained in near
corrected position.
It was very heartening to note that the things went as planned,
and the child and the parents too were compliant with the
treatment.
At present the leg is in fixator in straight and corrected
position. I plan to remove the fixator and maintain the position
by passing two wires internally so as to maintain the position.
The child needs to undergo further treatment for the correction
of the left leg. Following that, the foot and the ankle will need
to be corrected. The total time period could be around one
year, for the child to have the legs corrected fully. There will be
need to prevent flexion at the knee, as the child grows and will
have to use specially designed braces.

Rotary Club of Bicholim was sponsored by our Club and we
have a Rotaract Club which is very active in the District.
Earlier we used to meet at Ponda Muncipal hall, G. V. M's K. G.
& Primary School Hall, before the present meeting venue : our
own Rotary Hall which we have purchased under a Trust by the
name ' Rotary Community Hall Project Trust' which was
inaugurated at the hands of then DG Rtn. Bazil D'souza during
the year 2007-08 when Rtn. Ashok Nagvenkar was the
President of the Club.
Rotary Club of Ponda was founded on 23rd February 1978,
was Chartered on 27th April 1978 and the Charter was
presented on 28th June 1978 at the hands of then District
Governor Late Rtn. Motibhai Doshi. This Club was sponsored
by Rotary Club of Margao and GSR for formation of this club
was Late Rtn. Dr. Devdatt Kerkar. Charter President was Rtn.
Dr. Shashikant Shirsat and Secretary Late Rtn. Vinayak Parab.
During the year 1989-90, under the leadership of
Rtn. Purushottam Prabhu, our club hosted District Assembly at
Ramnathi, Bandora –Goa which was appreciated by all.
When Rtn. Abhijeet Kelekar was the president, in the year
2001-02, we carried out 46 cataract surgeries and during the
presidentship of Rtn. Sadanand Desai in the year 2003-04
carried out 92 cataract surgeries, both under Matching Grant
project. Under WCS, dictionaries were distributed in various
schools during the year 2002-03 and Water Filters during the
year 2004-05.
Our club is having an image of conducting mega seminars
successfully. During the Rotary year 2004-05, when Rtn.
Jaywant Priolkar was President, we organized a mega seminar
at NIO Auditorium, Donapaula by World's most acclaimed
speaker Mr. Shiv Khera, which was a great success. After this
many more such types of seminars were organized- to name
few are: Count your Chicken before they hatch- by Arindum
Choudhary, Import Export Seminar , Human Resource
Development Seminar. Surplus from these seminars were
utilized for doing community development projects and
remitted part of it to The Rotary Foundation to strengthen its
hands for doing good in the world. To build public image of
Rotary, we constructed a beautiful Rotary Circle Near GVM's
Higher Secondary School, Farmagudi during the year 2004-05.
Rotay Club of Panaji MidTown starts a new
series highlighting the projects of other
clubs in Goa as an extension of Friendship

Board Meeting
The 10th Monthly Board Meeting was held on 24th April 2015.
This meeting was hosted by Rtn Haroon Ebrahim at his residence
at Taleigao. The meeting was followed by fellowship.
CORRIGENDUM
Last month we had informed under “Cricket Tournament” that “The
third and final league match of the tournament was washed out due
to soggy playing conditions and RC Panaji Mid-town got a walkover
RC Panaji team.” This should be read as “The third and final league
match of the tournament was washed out due to soggy playing
conditions, The match was called off by the Umpires and awarded
one point each to both the teams. Midtowners moved into the finals
with better nett run rate”.
Sahayata- Home Care Nursing School
The first batch of Sahayata Nurses will graduated in the second
week of June. The admissions for the second batch have already
started and 18 students have been enrolled for the same. This
batch, we have decided to increase the number of seats to 20. Rtn
Santosh Shetye has been closely coordinating the admission
process with help from Rtn Mahesh Patil and Rtn Sunil Mone.
Earn while you Learn
The “Earn while you Learn” project has been announced and
applications for the same are being received. After due diligence,
the said applicants will be placed in workplaces suited to their
aptitude. Rtn Charles Bonifacio is coordinating the project.
Nepal Quake Relief
As you may be aware, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter
scale hit Nepal. Less than 48 hours after the catastrophic quake,
the death toll has mounted to over 4,000 with estimates of
thousands more trapped beneath the rubble. Number of injured
has been reported to be over 10,000.
It is difficult to relate to the scale of misery being experienced by
thousands of injured and the now millions of homeless survivors.
One might feel helpless to do something physically to mitigate the
misery of people half way around the world, but one CAN do a lot
by helping those who have volunteered their time and effort to be
present in Nepal at this very moment fighting this great human
catastrophe.
Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town has established contact with Rtn
Rabindra Piya - District Governor (Dist 3292) from Nepal and are
working towards sending relief material as required. And for this
we need you to do your bit and help build back lives of survivors of
this massive earthquake.
We are now accepting donations to support the earthquake relief
efforts. 100% of the donations collected by the Trust will be
directly sent to the affected areas.
Request you to kindly donate to “Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town
Charitable Trust”. These donations are eligible for Income Tax
Deductions under 80G.
The Blood Donation Camp was inaugurated by Panaji MLA Shri
Sidharth Kuncolienkar by lighting the traditional lamp. And it was
our privilege to have blood donated by the MLA himself. Firemen
from the Fire & Emergency Services, Staff of Caculo Mall and
visitors to the Mall apart from the Rotary family donated blood at
the Camp.
We thank Rtn Ashok Menon for coordinating the event and to Rtn
Manoj Caculo for the arrangements at the Camp.
At present, club membership strength is 54 out of which 3 are
lady members. Rtn. Laxmikant Naik was instrumental in
making our Club 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club when he was

Rotary Club of Bicholim was sponsored by our Club and we
have a Rotaract Club which is very active in the District.
Earlier we used to meet at Ponda Muncipal hall, G. V. M's K. G.
& Primary School Hall, before the present meeting venue : our
own Rotary Hall which we have purchased under a Trust by the
name ' Rotary Community Hall Project Trust' which was
inaugurated at the hands of then DG Rtn. Bazil D'souza during
the year 2007-08 when Rtn. Ashok Nagvenkar was the
President of the Club.
Rotary Club of Ponda was founded on 23rd February 1978,
was Chartered on 27th April 1978 and the Charter was
presented on 28th June 1978 at the hands of then District
Governor Late Rtn. Motibhai Doshi. This Club was sponsored
by Rotary Club of Margao and GSR for formation of this club
was Late Rtn. Dr. Devdatt Kerkar. Charter President was Rtn.
Dr. Shashikant Shirsat and Secretary Late Rtn. Vinayak Parab.
During the year 1989-90, under the leadership of
Rtn. Purushottam Prabhu, our club hosted District Assembly at
Ramnathi, Bandora –Goa which was appreciated by all.
When Rtn. Abhijeet Kelekar was the president, in the year
2001-02, we carried out 46 cataract surgeries and during the
presidentship of Rtn. Sadanand Desai in the year 2003-04
carried out 92 cataract surgeries, both under Matching Grant
project. Under WCS, dictionaries were distributed in various
schools during the year 2002-03 and Water Filters during the
year 2004-05.
Our club is having an image of conducting mega seminars
successfully. During the Rotary year 2004-05, when Rtn.
Jaywant Priolkar was President, we organized a mega seminar
at NIO Auditorium, Donapaula by World's most acclaimed
speaker Mr. Shiv Khera, which was a great success. After this
many more such types of seminars were organized- to name
few are: Count your Chicken before they hatch- by Arindum
Choudhary, Import Export Seminar , Human Resource
Development Seminar. Surplus from these seminars were
utilized for doing community development projects and
remitted part of it to The Rotary Foundation to strengthen its
hands for doing good in the world. To build public image of
Rotary, we constructed a beautiful Rotary Circle Near GVM's
Higher Secondary School, Farmagudi during the year 2004-05.
Rotay Club of Panaji MidTown starts a new
series highlighting the projects of other
clubs in Goa as an extension of Friendship
and Fellowship towards Goan Rotary Clubs.

Ladies Nite
An overnight picnic of the Club was organized at the Turtle Beach
Resort at Morjim. A record turnout of 70 pax attended the picnic
termed as “Ladies Nite”. There were games, music, dance, and
good fellowship all through the weekend. With 30 rooms booked
for the Club, the resort wore the Mid-Town colours.
24 April 2015
Board Meeting
The 10th Monthly Board Meeting was held on 24th April 2015.
This meeting was hosted by Rtn Haroon Ebrahim at his residence
at Taleigao. The meeting was followed by fellowship.
CORRIGENDUM
Last month we had informed under “Cricket Tournament” that “The
third and final league match of the tournament was washed out due
to soggy playing conditions and RC Panaji Mid-town got a walkover
RC Panaji team.” This should be read as “The third and final league
match of the tournament was washed out due to soggy playing
conditions, The match was called off by the Umpires and awarded
one point each to both the teams. Midtowners moved into the finals
with better nett run rate”.
Sahayata- Home Care Nursing School
The first batch of Sahayata Nurses will graduated in the second
week of June. The admissions for the second batch have already
started and 18 students have been enrolled for the same. This
batch, we have decided to increase the number of seats to 20. Rtn
Santosh Shetye has been closely coordinating the admission
process with help from Rtn Mahesh Patil and Rtn Sunil Mone.
Earn while you Learn
The “Earn while you Learn” project has been announced and
applications for the same are being received. After due diligence,
the said applicants will be placed in workplaces suited to their
aptitude. Rtn Charles Bonifacio is coordinating the project.
Nepal Quake Relief
As you may be aware, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter
scale hit Nepal. Less than 48 hours after the catastrophic quake,
the death toll has mounted to over 4,000 with estimates of
thousands more trapped beneath the rubble. Number of injured
has been reported to be over 10,000.
It is difficult to relate to the scale of misery being experienced by
thousands of injured and the now millions of homeless survivors.
One might feel helpless to do something physically to mitigate the
misery of people half way around the world, but one CAN do a lot
by helping those who have volunteered their time and effort to be
present in Nepal at this very moment fighting this great human
catastrophe.
Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town has established contact with Rtn
Rabindra Piya - District Governor (Dist 3292) from Nepal and are
working towards sending relief material as required. And for this
we need you to do your bit and help build back lives of survivors of
this massive earthquake.
We are now accepting donations to support the earthquake relief
efforts. 100% of the donations collected by the Trust will be
directly sent to the affected areas.
Request you to kindly donate to “Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town
Charitable Trust”. These donations are eligible for Income Tax
Deductions under 80G.
The Blood Donation Camp was inaugurated by Panaji MLA Shri
Sidharth Kuncolienkar by lighting the traditional lamp. And it was
our privilege to have blood donated by the MLA himself. Firemen
from the Fire & Emergency Services, Staff of Caculo Mall and
visitors to the Mall apart from the Rotary family donated blood at
the Camp.
We thank Rtn Ashok Menon for coordinating the event and to Rtn
Manoj Caculo for the arrangements at the Camp.
At present, club membership strength is 54 out of which 3 are
lady members. Rtn. Laxmikant Naik was instrumental in
making our Club 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club when he was
President during the year 2012-13 and the Club received 100%
Club Recognition Banner in November, 2014 at the hands of
Rtn. Shekhar Mehta . We have 1 major donor, 1 PHF+3,
4 PHF+2, 9 PHF+1 and 39 PHF.
We meet on every Friday at 7.30 p.m. at Rotary Hall, above

In the traditional method of making cashew Feni, only the
tree ripened cashew apples that have fallen are picked and
taken for the crush. The cashew apples are deseeded and
then dropped into a stomping area. This area is called as
“colmbi” and is usually a rock cut into a basin shape. The
cashew apples are stomped by feet to release the juice.
Stomping has now gradually been replaced by the use of a
press called as “pingre” (cage). The pulp is then hand
pattied into small mounds traditionally using a particular
vine, “nudi”, which is snaked around it to hold together
while a heavy weight (typically a boulder) is placed on top.
The juice produced through this process is known as
“neero”, and is refreshing to drink. The fresh “neero” is
collected traditionally in a large earthen pot called as
“kodem”, which is buried halfway in the ground and left
while the juice ferments for several days. Delicate earthen
kodem have now been replaced by plastic drums for the
sake of practicality. The juice is then allowed to sit for three
days as it ferments. No artificial yeast or nutrients are
added to hasten the process.
The traditional method of distilling cashew Feni on the hill is
interesting to watch. The cashew juice is put in a big pot
called “bhann” which serves as a closed boiler. It is
connected to a smaller pot called “launni” by means of a
conduit. The launni serves as a receiver or collector.

APRIL 2015 THE dream |15|
Behind every incredible magic, there is a
real logic. Behind every extraordinary
happening there exist a set of rational
reasons. Behind every successful
personality lies a journey that travels a path
of committed choices and aligned actions.
This tribute seeks to showcase those very
facets that make the magical personality
who recently completed 50 years in magical
show biz.
This is all about making the obvious
overlaps of learning principles of the 5Ms
with which the inspirational personality of
Master Magician, D'Satish. From the smaller
world of his stage to the larger stage of the
world, his golden quantum of work in the
field of magic, ventriloquial arts as well as
social impact moves across the 5Ms:
Model, Motivator, Mentor, Monitor, and
Marketing.
Model: In the 1970's the stylishly handsome
D'Satish had no competition. Today in the
2010's, he still remains way ahead of the
rest. The USP of D'Satish has been
undoubtedly in his ability to constantly
better his previous best performance. He
retains the energetic enthusiasm to
imagine, innovate and invent. And hence, he
has been a role model not just to the people
who worked with him, but all who watch
and interact with him.
His gestures and mannerisms are forever so
well synchronized that never mind the
space, he turns it into his own performing
space and his listeners into a captive
audience. Lesser magicians shed their garb
when off stage, but D'Satish owns just a
single persona which he also carries on
stage.
D'Satish's life also stands as a testimony to
the pursuit of academic skill as well as the
courage to choose an alternative career. He
studied architecture but applied it instead
to the elegant edifices and imposing
illusions he erected on the stage.
Transforming a passion into a profession is
not rare occurrence. But quite often, people
who pursue performing arts give up the
education process. It is not just what is
taught in the classrooms that matters, what
makes the difference is that which is learnt
in the corridors, on the college stage, the
playgrounds and in the interactions with
young minds.
Hence D'Satish becomes an inspirational
role model for being a positive personality
(not just as a façade but as a consistent
characteristic) as one who uses wit wisely
and one who pursues passion without
compromising on wider learning.
Motivator:“The greatest personal
achievement is to motivate others to
achieve altitudes”. It would not be an
exaggeration to put D'Satish with the best
at an international level as a motivational
speaker. He has the ability to hold his
audience captive with his amazing
anecdotes as well as insightful
interpretations of things happening across
the globe. He is much in demand as a
keynote speaker whose main weapon is
humour unleashed albeit with a straight
face. In the 1990s, I remember him telling
his Jaycee listeners that 'Speaking, like any
other performing art is not meant for the
graveyards'. A connect with the living
persons and the understanding their
aspirations show how D'Satish approached
his speeches.
But to be a motivator, one really needs to
be generally enthused with what one
describes as ones desired horizon of
interests. D'Satish has
motivated others by
example as well as
encouragement in
varied fields from
performing magic to
exposing superstition,
from personal integrity
to social concerns,
from local
perspectives to global understandings. He
is genuinely happy when others achieve
and such attitudes come only from
personalities who do not feel threatened by
the success of others.
Mentor: There is much to be learnt from
the attitude of D'Satish. It requires rare
courage to share one's knowledge, skills
and experience with people, especially
those from the same field. His proactive
participation in social, cultural and health
concerns has seen him using his expertise
and experience for community concerns as
well. Always one to call a spade a spade, he
exposed the fraud of many God men,
tantriks, gamblers and hypnotist cheats. He
has also used his story telling and
performing talents to create dramas and
documentaries on various issues including
AIDS. Also many books written by him are
valuable educational tools for learners as
well as inquisitive minds.
Monitor: “There are three kinds of people:
those who make things happen, those who
watch things happen and those who
wonder what happened” D'Satish belongs
to the first two categories.
Marketing: So many talented persons in the
creative field do not grow and glow to their
real potential, because they are unable to
market themselves. He makes an excellent
use of PR but refrains from mediocre
publicity. His significant philanthropical
contributions have always been a personal
activity, kept away from the charms of
media hype.
Never one to rest on past laurels, he has
constantly reinvented himself, forging
ahead into newer frontiers, taking on
greater challenges.
-Pravin K. Sabnis
The juice in the big pot is then boiled by burning firewood
under it. As the process of vaporisation and distillation goes on
and the concentrated liquid collects in the smaller pot, the
pressure in the receiver is kept in check by pouring cold water
on it, frequently with a wooden ladle. The first stage of
processing may be done on a big fire but the later stage of
distillation has to be done on a slow fire to keep the pressure
and heat under control. The process of distilling Feni with such
apparatus takes about 8 hours and is locally called “Bhatti”.
One can tell from a distance that Feni is being distilled since
the surrounding area is filled with its aroma. And this aroma
attracts many Feni consumers, who halt in their tracks when
their nostrils receive the smell.
The liquor produced from cashew is of three grades “Urrac,
Cazulo, and Feni”. The Urrac is the product of the first
distillation. It is light and can be consumed neat. Its strength
ranges between 15% alcohol (30 proof). However, when
consumed in excess, Urrac intoxicates the mind like any other
alcoholic drink. The Urrac is said to well with orange or lemon.
The Cazulo is the product of second distillation. It is
moderately strong. The Cazulo can be consumed either neat or
in diluted form. However it is not seen in the market today.
The product which we get after the process of third distillation
is called feni. Its strength ranges between 45% a/c v/v. It has a
long shelf life. Now that the Cazulo is not made, feni is
produced after second distillation. The second or third hand
feni is a product par excellence.
It is a major local industry. There are known to exist about 4000
such mini traditional distilleries or stills in Goa, manufacturing
cashew feni.
The word feni is derive from the Sanskrit word phena (froth);
this is thought to be because of the bubbles that form a light
froth when the liquor is shaken or poured into a glass.

APRIL 2015 THE dream |19|
A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully, and
before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw a bud that would
soon blossom and also the thorns. And he thought, “How can
any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many
sharp thorns?” Saddened by this thought, he neglected to
water the plant and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose.
The God-like qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the
thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only
the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good
is possibly coming from us. We neglect to water the good
within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone
else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person
can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and see the
rose within others. This is the characteristic of love – to look at
the persons, and knowing their faults, recognize the nobility in
their souls, and help them realize that they can overcome their
faults. If we show them the rose, they will conquer the thorns.
Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them their
roses and not their thorns. Only then can we achieve the love
we should feel for each other; only then can we bloom in our
own garden.
In the movie Fiddler on the Roof, there is a delightful dialogue
in song between Tevye (beautifully enacted by Topol) and his
wife Golde on the theme of mutual love.
Tevye asks Golde, “Do you love me?” His wife thinks it is a
foolish question, prompted by either their daughter's
forthcoming marriage, or the trouble in the town, or out of
mere fatigue, or may be even indigestion. But Tevye insists,
“Golde, I'm asking you a question: do you love me?”
“You are a fool!” says Golde. “I know,” agrees Tevye. “But do
you love me?”
Exasperated by his insistence Golde says, “For 25 years, I've
washed your clothes, cooked your meals, cleaned your house,
given you children, milked your cows. After 25 years why talk
about love right now?”
Tevye then recalls the first time they had met. It was on their
wedding day. Then their parents had assured them they would
learn to love each other. Now he would like to know how far
they had succeeded in doing so.
Golde expresses the facts of her life, “For 25 years I've lived
with him, fought with him, starved with him. 25 years my bed
was his. If that's not love, what is?” This gives Tevye the
assurance he needs.
They end by singing in unison: “It doesn't change a thing, but
even so, after 25 years, it's nice to know!”
You can make a difference in your loved one's life by letting
him/her hear that you love him/her.
This reminds me of a beautiful poem:
Whatever our hands touch … we leave fingerprints on.
On walls, on furniture, on door knobs, dishes and books.
As we touch we leave our identity …
Oh please wherever I go today …
Help me leave the heart prints.
Heart prints of compassion, understanding and love,
Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbour …
Or a runaway daughter …
Or an anxious mother …
Or perhaps a dear friend!
I shall go out today to leave the heart prints …
And someone would say,
“I felt your touch!”
In Rotary, this is our purpose; to make as meaningful as
possible the life that is bestowed upon us, to live in such a way
that we may be proud of ourselves, to act in such a way that
some part of us lives on.
Our dreams paint many pleasures; sometimes the dreams
come true; our hearts try many measures, sometimes retain a
few. . But the fairest flowers of living bloom for us when we
find the garden that is giving for love of humankind.
