KAMPALA: Few days to end the rotary club leadership, the district governor of 9213 district, Dr. Mike Kennedy SSebalu and the entire leadership highlighted the successes, difficulties, failures and the way forward on how the failures will be achieved.
In a conference held at St Lawrence University, Candle Light Gardens with SIRI REGULAR song of Spice Diana chosen as a signature song for mobilizing the leaders who imagined how they had succeeded under the project, the ROTARY CLUB chose at the beginning of IMAGIN ROTARY.
Governor Ssebalu says they have registered succession, basic education and literacy enhancement program (BELEP) and followed the seven ways of security, fought diseases, provided clean water to communities, fought mortality rates, and environmental protection.
“We have built schools, gave books to schools and students, provided needs to girls specially to curb the problem of school drop-outs due to some needs they can’t afford, provided water in schools, and 30 schools have been built across the country.
“Rotary has also focused on the community development, building community hospitals, training nurses, providing mama kits to mothers.”He added.
On broadening Rotary, club 800 Rotarians have joined 17 club retractors and has provided 50m dollars as a non government organization.
Governor Ssebalu says the year under his leadership has been amazing and started with success saying that on the first day of his leadership they formed 85 rotary clubs in 250 schools and gave out more than 10,000 books on the same day and Ssebalu says they have left a foundation for the new leadership.
He thanked all leaders who supported him, organizations and St. Lawrence University for the support and pleaded to them to as well support the new leadership.
On Friday 30th may 2023 the leadership will hand over to anew governor Edward Kakembo Nsubuga and will launch a new rotary of Kasubi.
The new leadership will follow the project of HOPE IN THE WORLD and will focus on how to help boy child who seemed to have been neglected since the world has put more focus on agirl child and this is against the mission of rotary
Ssebalu says in case they only focus on girls, the future won’t succeed since the future fathers won’t been trained to take care and develop the country.
