ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT MESSAGE We all know Rotary's tremendous power to transform our communities and ourselves. However, in every community, people have been left out, and we have not made a strong enough effort to reach them. The RI Board of Directors is taking action to make Rotary more welcoming and diverse. We formed a task force to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion to help clubs attract new members regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or other factors. This will help us speed up the change we all want and need. The selection of Jennifer E. Jones as Rotary president for 2022-23 — the first woman to lead our organization — is another step in this direction. At the grassroots level, clubs drive inclusion and diversity. Alia Ali — who serves on the board of directors at the Big West Rotaract Multidistrict Information Organization and is a Rotary Youth Leadership Awards alumna and past president of the Rotaract Club of Surrey-Newton, British Columbia — offers her perspective. RTN HOLGER KNAACK I still remember the relief I felt as a RYLA participant four years ago. I had finally found my people: people who cared as much as I did. All over the world, Rotary has RI PRESIDENT (2020-21) the same heart. We serve our communities and take action where others feel paralyzed by the size and scope of a problem. Let's continue that spirit, especially when the conversation is difficult. Racism, prejudice, and discrimination take on different forms but exist in every country, in every city, and in every person. How do we root it out? As a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant, I help organizations create a culture that empowers and attracts everyone using the power of empathy. When we feel with others as if they were ourselves, we cannot hold prejudice in our hearts. When every child reminds you of your own child, when every woman or man reminds you of your mother or brother, you start seeing the world differently. We can apply The Four-Way Test through the lens of empathy. Are we building goodwill and friendship with everyone in our area, including women? Are things fair and beneficial to people of all ages? Who has to make choices that you don't have to make? I made a heartbreaking choice between Rotary and my religion when a Rotary convention was held during Ramadan. I wondered: When we ask if this is fair and beneficial to all concerned, did that not include me as a Muslim? Would the convention ever be held over Easter? Only by asking difficult questions can we begin the work of creating a more inclusive and diverse Rotary. We already connect so many people across the world. Imagine the possibilities when we bring even more people along for the ride. That's the future of Rotary I want to see: one where we are unstoppable in our service, relentless in our kindness, and intentional in the change we want to see. Rotary has a big enough heart. If we open our door wider, we might find a lot of interesting people with new voices and new perspectives. We already have a variety of clubs offering different styles, cultures, and opportunities — and those who do not feel welcome in any particular club might be great candidates for new clubs created on different models. It's important that we make sure every new Rotary member is a good fit for their club. Rotary Opens Opportunities through diversity.

3250 As
per
an
old
saying,
\"Every
child
you
encounter
is
a
divine
appointment\"
Children
are
simply
the
blessings
of
 Almighty.
Their
innocence
makes
us
realize
that
the
world
is
still
a
good
place
to
live.
They
teach
us
how
to
deal
with
 stress,
troubles,
and
critical
circumstances
and
stay
calm,
cool,
and
happy
during
that.
 Children's
day
in
India
is
celebrated
every
year
on
14th
November
as
a
birthday
of
our
First
Prime
Minister
Pt.
Jawaharlal
 Nehru.
Though
the
world
celebrates
Children’s
day
on
20th
November
and
so
we
did.
But
since
1964,
after
the
death
of
 Pt.
Nehru
it
was
decided
to
celebrate
children's
day
on
his
Birthday
that
is
on
14th
November
in
India.
 Now
the
question
arises
that
what
is
the
connection
between
Children's
day
and
the
birth
anniversary
of
Pt.
Nehru?
So,
 Pt.
Nehru
was
fond
of
children
and
used
to
meet
them
with
enormous
affection.
He
believed
that
the
children
are
the
 future
of
the
nation,
and
the
way
of
their
upbringing
will
determine
the
future
of
the
country.
He
advocated
for
children
 to
have
a
fulfilled
childhood
and
attain
higher
education.
 It
is
not
merely
a
day
to
celebrate
for
the
children,
and
it
should
not
be
limited
to
merely
providing
cake,
balloons,
and
 chocolates
to
them.
And
the
society
must
think
out
of
the
box
to
provide
the
overall
development
to
children.
Many
of
 the
children
in
India
are
suffering
from
malnutrition.
Though
child
labor
is
banned
in
our
country,
even
then
you
can
 discover
many
so-called
‘chotu’
at
various
tea
stalls
and
roadside
dhabas
and
small
hotels.
Though
education
is
their
 right,
many
of
them
are
far
away
from
educational
facilities,
and
when
we
talk
about
child
safety,
it
is
better
to
peep
into
 the
newspaper.
There
every
day,
we
can
find
news
about
child
abuse,
rapes,
kidnapping,
and
trapping
for
drugs.
In
what
 so
ever,
the
manner
we
can
celebrate,
it
would
not
be
a
real
children's
day
until
all
children
of
the
country
are
safe
until
 they
get
proper
education,
guidance,
and
motivation.
 
We
should
pave
the
way
for
their
future
life
by
replacing
the
 laboring
burden
from
educational
facilities.
 We
should
act
towards
the
dream
of
a
society
where
our
young
ones
can
have
the
brightest
future.
So
let
us
commit
to
 forming
this
world
a
better
place
for
children
to
live.
Let
these
bambinos
free
to
turn
out
to
be
a
packet
of
joy
and
 happiness.
 It
is
the
need
of
the
hour
to
devote
to
the
full
focus
towards
children’s
rights,
safety,
and
education. Best
Regards, PDRR

Child

leads
to
the
loss
 of
childhood
and
escalates
the
exploitation
of
children
in
various
forms. In
India,
children
are
forced
to
work
illegally
in
multiple
industries.
However,
 rtr

 is
 the

 that
 employs

 to

 Indian
 rural
 sectors
 employ
 85

 due
 to
 various

 factors
 that
 fail

 their

 constitutional

-

(rId

 to
 abolish
 Child
 Labour,
 many
 children
 remain
 exploited
 under
 hazardous

 conditions.
 Due
 to
 paid
 Labour,
 children
 abandon
 their
 studies
to
support
their
families.
They
are
made
to
forego
all
the
wonders
of
 childhood
by
the
ruthless
world. The
leading
causes
of
Child
Labour
in
India
are
social
inequality,
lack
of
education,
and
poverty.
According
to
 UNICEF’s
report,
children
from
the
impoverished
and
rural
parts
of
the
world
have
no
available
alternatives
such
as
 teachers
and
schools. Many
rural
communities
lack

facilities
and
the
availability
of

The

Labour.
Besides
the

sector,
child

 exists
in

and

sectors. The
Child

(Prohibition

Act,
1986,
was
the
only
enacted
provision
by
the
Indian
Constitution
 against
child
Labour
and
its
atrocities.
Other
provisions
stated
by
the
Indian
Constitution
are: • Article
 24
 of
 the
 Indian
 Constitution
 states
 that
 no
 child
 below
 the
 age
 of
 fourteen
 shall
 employ
 in
 any
 hazardous
employment
or
factory
but
not
in
non-hazardous
industries. • Article
39(f))
of
the
Indian
Constitution
states
that
children
and
young
adults
are
to
be
protected
against
moral
 and
material
abandonment
or
any
forms
of
exploitation. • Various
other
Laws

the
Indian

such
as
The

The

Act,1952,
the
 Juvenile
Justice
(Care
and
Protection)
of
Children
Act-2000,
and
the
Child
Labour
(Prohibition
and
Abolition)
 Act-1986
seek
to
prevent
the
practice
of
child
Labour
in
India. Unfortunately,
these
laws
and
regulations
lack
active
and
proper
implementation
and
enforcement. India
faces
situations
where
children
are
forced
to
work
under
adverse
conditions.
Despite
Laws
against
Child
 Labour,
many
children
remain
exploited
as
cheap
Labour
as
the
authorities
are
unable
to
implement
strict
laws
and
 actions
to
protect
children.
Society
and
law-makers
must
eradicate
child

in
India. Then
only
we
can

say: CHILD

Rotary Youth Exchange: Your passport to adventure Youth Exchange students often say their experience abroad was the best time of their lives. Being part of the program can be life-changing for Rotary members as well For more than 40 years, Rotary Youth Exchange has been one of Rotary’s best-known programs. As an official program, it dates to 1975 — but by that time, Rotary clubs had already been sending students abroad for decades with the aim of promoting international understanding and friendship. What the program offers to and asks of participants — an openness to new ideas and experiences, a willingness to adapt and to gain new perspectives, and an opportunity to make new friends and learn new ways of living — are the same values that define Rotary itself. “The major goal of Youth Exchange is to dive into another culture,” says Rotary President Holger Knaack, who served as chair of the German Multi-District Youth Exchange; he and his wife, Susanne, have themselves hosted dozens of students. “Youth Exchange is an opportunity for the kids to experience something new. And it has enriched our own lives.” IMPACT OF COVID-19 Although the COVID-19 pandemic postponed some exchanges, the ethos of Rotary Youth Exchange remains strong. While all new long-term exchanges have been suspended until January 2021, some districts have been allowed to continue exchanges with strict safety guidelines and program modifications during the 2020-21 Rotary year. Read the interview with RI Director Tony Black about the measures Rotary is taking to keep youth exchange students safe. Coping with the unexpected: Rotary Youth Exchange and COVID-19 In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic began to affect Rotary’s Youth Exchange program in unprecedented ways. We talked about it with RI Director James Anthony “Tony” Black, who served as chair of the Youth Exchange committee and as its director liaison. Rotary Youth Exchange participants often have to cope with unexpected challenges. How have students, clubs, and districts been handling the pandemic? The Rotary Youth Exchange community has done outstanding work keeping students and program volunteers engaged. We’ve seen students connecting virtually through video challenges and attending club meetings online. Virtual exchanges can serve as an engaging alternative to in-person exchanges, providing young people the opportunity to engage and collaborate with people from other cultures and communities through technology. Some districts are even planning virtual exchanges for 2020-21. Clubs and districts are working hard to keep students safe and connected with Rotary and their communities.

How did Rotary support students who had to come home early? Returning home, even after a successful exchange, can be difficult for students and their families. Imagine the added challenges of returning home earlier than expected, and of experiencing reverse culture shock in the midst of a global pandemic. Rotary leaders recognized the need to provide students with additional emotional support and found innovative ways to do that. For example, some districts arranged video calls so that students could maintain the relationships they had developed while on exchange, or set up group conference calls so that students could share what they experienced and provide support to one another. Some even arranged for mental health counselors to offer support to students. What about the students who had to shelter in place while abroad? For students who remained on exchange, the effect of COVID-19 on their experience was equally unexpected and challenging. But even without the typical social activities, districts found ways to keep students engaged, to help them practice their language skills, and to stay connected. Students even developed creative social media campaigns to promote safe social distancing in their host communities with the help of volunteers. Is there any lesson from the past that could help chart the way forward for the Rotary Youth Exchange program in a world changed by COVID-19? It’s important to realize that this is not the first time that international exchange programs have been challenged by an international crisis, and most study abroad programs have historically rebounded very quickly. In the 2020-21 year, COVID-19 may close some doors temporarily, but we know that with any challenge comes great opportunity. A pause could provide a chance for clubs and districts to strengthen their programs and to find new, innovative ways to engage young people with Rotary. I have no doubt the program will come out of this challenge even stronger. SAFETY GUIDELINES: ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE The Board of Directors of Rotary International have taken some very important decisions regarding Rotary Youth Exchange during the 2020-21 Rotary year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board at their April meeting made several important decisions to limit or suspend Rotary activates that require travel or in-person meetings, including meetings of the Board and Trustees, Institutes, and appointment of President’s Representatives. They also acknowledged that student safety is Rotary’s top priority and as such requested the general secretary to prepare a risk assessment for conducting Rotary Youth Exchange during the 2020-21 Rotary year. While there is still uncertainty related to COVID-19 globally, especially as it relates to international travel, school delays and closures, and the ongoing or increasing risk of infection, the Board recognizes that some regions have begun to ease restrictions and is hopeful many more regions will begin reopening soon. Please review the following decisions carefully and share with anyone involved in Rotary Youth Exchange in your district. DECISION: The Board in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, agrees that the health and safety of all participants in Rotary programs is of paramount importance and with this in mind adopts the following guidance specific to Rotary Youth Exchange, subject to review by the Board on an on-going basis: 1. All districts are strongly encouraged to arrange for the return of students currently on exchange in countries that are or may become impacted by COVID-19 as soon as it is determined to be possible and safe to do so after consulting travel advisories and guidelines issued by their embassies or consular offices, international public health agencies like the World Health Organization, and local health authorities for the latest and most relevant information. 2. Districts are strongly encouraged to voluntarily suspend long-term Rotary Youth Exchange in the 2020-21 Rotary year, especially where the district cannot reasonably assess the risks related to COVID-19 and/or does not already have an emergency risk management plan in place. 3. Districts may conduct long-term Rotary Youth Exchange in the 2020-21 Rotary year beginning 1 January 2021 provided that they confirm they understand and agree to administer Rotary’s Youth Exchange program in accordance with 2020-21 Certification requirements, and before administering exchanges follow additional safety measures, including: Source: https://www.rotary.org/en/rotary-youth-exchange-your-passport-to-adventure?fbclid=IwAR0-_e6AFDy4aB2A3ZQa5UvFvgEE-KoC5LQ1nlNw4EmB41lcU03MqehOyFo
