Excerpts from the full text:

A hallmark of Rotary service has always beenRotarians’ commitment to doing what needstobedone.Andtheparticipationofourentirenetworkofclubs,alongwiththesupportofTRF,has allowed us to commit to our primary andmostambitiousgoal: theglobaleradicationofpolio.

When choosing our service projects, we doour best to work in ways that will have themostpositive,andmostlasting,impact.Buttoensure a better world for many generations,wemustbeginbytakingcareofouryoungestgeneration. This is why, in 2008-09, I will askRotarians everywhere to focus on the mostprecious resource of every community: ourchildren.

Everychilddeservesthechanceatahealthylife.Unfortunately,everyday,some30,000childrenunder the age of five die from preventablecauses like pneumonia, measles, and malariawhilethousandsdieeverydayfromlackofcleanwater.Andmanymorediefromacombinationof factors, in which malnutrition and povertyplaymajorroles.

This is why the RI theme for 2008-09 is Make Dreams Real.Foodandwater,healthcareandschooling,thechanceatalongandfulllife-thisistheunrealizeddreamoftoomanychildren.

The great majority of childhood deaths occurinthedevelopingworld,andthatiswherethe

mostworkmustbedone.Eveninthewealthiestcountries, therearechildrenwithoutaccess tomedical care. And in every part of the world,childrenstillfacethethreatofpolio-andremainatriskuntilwekeepourpromiseofmakingtheworldpolio-free.

For the last few years, RI’s emphases are onprojects in health and hunger, water, andliteracy. I plan to keep these three emphasesbuttoasktheentirefamilyofRotarytomakeaspecialefforttofocusonprojectsthatwillmakeadifferenceinthelivesofchildren.Safedrinkingwater,goodnutritionandtheabilitytoreadandwritegivesachildabetterchanceatraisingthenextgenerationinprosperityandhealth.

Rotary is a truly global network of volunteers.Ourstructureallowsustopartnerwithclubsaroundthe world to tackle a goal as ambitious as areductioninthechildmortalityrate-butonlyif we work together. If we take full advantageofourownresources,andthoseavailabletousthroughotherclubsandourRotary

Foundation,thenwewillhavethepotentialtomake a real difference - and to Make Dreams Realfortheworld’schildren.
