Reflections and Gratitude
Reflecting on the past year, we have achieved numerous milestones, such as cervical cancer vaccinations for girls at Murbi Zilla Parishad schools, infrastructure support to Balwadi at Murbi village, tree plantation drives, and active involvement in the polio vaccination drive by UPHC. Additionally, we have provided diet and protein meals for TB patients, conducted blood donation camps for thalassemia patients, educated youth on various subjects, supported old age homes with groceries and toiletries, and engaged the elderly with health checkups and interactive sessions.
Our journey has been powered by the unwavering support of our sponsors, donors, and the dedicated Rotary team. This collective effort has enabled us to create a lasting impact and bring hope to countless lives.
Fundraiser Event
To ensure the continuity of our service projects, we organize an annual fundraiser. This year, our event "Lyrics with Laughter" promises to be a delightful evening filled with joy and camaraderie. The funds raised will be channeled towards our community service initiatives throughout the year.
I conclude with the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Together, let's create hope in the world and make a difference in the lives of those we touch.
Warm regards,
Rtn. Shailesh Patel
