Each One Bring One

The world now is not the utopia mankind is hoping for. It is full of unprecedented challenges. These challenges are not going to solve themselves. Its not too late, we can still work proactively towards something better.

We need action - real action - to overcome the challenges. The world needs to take action on the environment, climate change, mental health crisis, vaccination equity, basic education and literacy for all. People, Communities, Organizations - all need to take action.

In the true Rotary spirit, Rotarians are People of Action. Bound together under the ethos of service and fellowship; the Rotary world spells unity, humanity, compassion, wisdom and hope. We have it all it takes.

To take big action, we need to have bigger goals. The big goal we have is to increase the members and increase the impact of Rotary by serving the world. In this journey, each one of us will play a stellar role to inspire Rotarians to Do More and Grow More.

This will be our guiding mantra. Do more as in upscaling our impact in service projects and Grow More as in Increasing our Membership and participation. Membership continues to be our biggest challenge. For the last 17 years, the membership is at 1.2 million members in the Rotary International.

Let us take this opportunity to make the biggest change in Rotary history. Dream big to Do big. So the dream is to increase the membership to 1.3 million members by 1 July 2022. And how can we reach that incredible goal?

The answer is EACH ONE, BRING ONE.

Each One, Bring One; to have more change makers in the Rotary world. Together we will immerse in service oriented action. The world needs us more than ever before.
