Dear fellow Rotarians:

The Rotary Foundation is critical to all that we do and all that we hope to do. This is also a truly significant year, as we are
celebrating our Foundation’s centennial. What started with a $26.50 donation has grown into a foundation that has spent over $3
billion on programs and projects to make a difference throughout the world. We’ve done so much good in the first 100 years of
our Foundation, imagine what we can do in another 100.

Now is the time to capitalize on our success and to move Rotary forward to be an even greater force for good in the world. If we
work together, we can show the world that Rotary is made up of dedicated individuals who work together to accomplish great
things.

Our founder Paul Harris once wrote, “Individual effort may be turned to individual needs, but combined effort should be dedicated
to the service of mankind. The power of combined effort knows no limitation.” Through our Foundation, Rotarians have been
able to combine resources to provide extraordinary service to local and global communities.

Thank you for joining me in celebrating The Rotary Foundation Centennial. Because of you, we will be able to continue to
accomplish so much more. Your support is what enables us all to be part of Rotary Serving Humanity.

Sincerely,

John F. Germ
2016-17 President, Rotary International

MESSAGE

In this the 100th year of our Rotary Foundation, it's time to take stock of what is it that we do which keeps
us not only going but also, growing.

This book, planned by Director Dr. Manoj Desai for this unique occasion, highlights some of the things
we have been doing in Zones 4, 5 & 6A which are perhaps, the most active areas of the Rotary Foundation
today.

I am sure you will find the book to be not only informative but inspiring and a treasure to keep with you
and to show others.

Enjoy the sights and the insights.

MESSAGE

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

I am pleased to know that Zone 4, 5 and 6A is coming up with an Iconic Project Book of Rotary which is also a dream of RI Director Dr. Manoj
Desai. This book will help the Rotarians to get more resources, more partners and more funds for the humanitarian projects, especially in the
context of Corporate Social Responsibilities.

Rotary is an international humanitarian service organization with a network of 35000 community based clubs in more than 200 countries and
geographical areas comprising of business and professional leaders who volunteer their expertise, compassion, and power to improve communities

at home and abroad.

Rotary’s top goal is to eradicate polio worldwide. Rotary in collaboration with the WHO, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and National Governments, is close to
eliminating Polio with a 99% reduction in polio cases worldwide since 1985. Rotary members have contributed more than US$1.4 billion and countless volunteer hours to help
immunize more than 2 billion children in 122 countries.

Rotary, as a part of community service, focuses, amongst other activities, on providing access to safe and clean water, improve sanitation facilities, improve maternal and child health
promote literacy and education, prevent disease and provide treatment and has offered to render voluntary service through its clubs across the world, to work for the betterment
of community.

After looking at the success of Polio Eradication program, the Rotary Foundation has kick started its pilot project “WASH in Schools” in five countries – India, Kenya, Guatemala,
Belize and Honduras. It is a game changing program which will bring behavioural change in the world. This program is totally aligned with Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya Abhiyan
of Government of India under which we are building segregated toilets, group handwashing stations and safe drinking water in schools.

As it is said “that you educate a girl child, you educate the entire family”, same way you instil the habit of using toilets and group hand washing in the schools and it has been
established that these very children will take these practices to their homes, their siblings, their parents and in the process entire community will start using toilets and will get into
the habit of hand washing before and after their meals and we will achieve our objective of Swachh Bharat. Merely giving money for building toilets is not the guarantee for Swachh
Bharat, the real key is behavioural change and in achieving this behavioural change these very kids will be the instruments of change.

Rotary is also a big driver in India for Literacy, Blood banks, Rain water harvesting structures, Eye hospitals, Gift of Life by providing heart surgeries of kids.

Rotary is looking forward for more partnerships to “Serve the Humanity” in India.

Best wishes,

Sushil Gupta

My Dear Friends,

We are thankful to you for making the Dazzling Dubai Zone Institute a grand success. It really proved slogan - NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. We really
transacted BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE.

We all know that Our Rotary Foundation is celebrating Centennial Year. Trustee Chair is our own PRIP Kalyan'da . Trustee Sushilji is a great support to him
to lead from the front. We are thankful to him for starting a new chapter of CSR . We have progressed very well for both the flagship projects - Literacy &
WinS.

I shared my dream with EMGA Ravi & DDZI Chair Raja of having this book so that year remains etched in our memories and continue to inspire all in 2nd
Century of Service. All the RRFCs, EMGAs & RPICs appreciated and have worked hard in realizing the dream. It has got glimpses of Iconic projects all over
India. I have no doubt that every proud Rotarian will keep it as a treasure chest of DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD.

Lastly I would like to remind you what our great Founder Paul P Harris had said " WHATEVER ROTARY MAY MEAN TO US, BUT TO THE WORLD IT
WILL BE KNOWN BY THE RESULTS IT ACHIEVES."

All the best friends as you go through all the stories, get inspired to do more & make others read - HOW GOOD WE HAVE DONE IN THE WORLD !

Dr. Manoj Desai

DISEASE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT

Our health is everything. Yet 400 million people in the world
can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care. We believe
good health care is everyone’s right.

Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people
worldwide. That’s why treating and preventing disease is so
important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up
temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in
underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health
care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors,
patients, and governments to work together.

Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS,
Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. Prevention is
important, which is why we also focus on health education and
bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care.

Disease does not prevent itself. We educate and equip
communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases. Rotary
members have hundreds of health projects underway around
the world at any given time.
