 THE MISSION OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION IS to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. It sounds so simple, yet it means so much. It means so much to every one of the people touched by Foundation-supported programs every year - the children too poor to go to school, the families who have lost everything in a disaster, the communities that lack sanitation, clean water, and medical care. |

 Dear Dreamers and Achievers, Warm Greetings from Pranesh and Sandhya. We had wonderful festival time celebrating the festivals of Dasara and Deepavali with our family and friends. After the festivals we are again back in action with renewed vigor and enthusiasm to Make Dreams Real. Between the festivals, we had important events like the National TRF Alumni Reunion `GOA – SUVARNA MITRA MILAN` for which our friends from various parts of our nation and neighboring country participated. Listening to the alumni, the GSE team members, Rotary Volunteers, Scholars and Peace Fellows was a rewarding experience .PRID and past TRF Trustee Kalyan Banerjee`s key note address made the event more meaningful. Every alumnus came forward to contribute their mite to strengthen the Rotary movement. It is up to us to make best use of the rich resource available around us. |
