I am deeply grateful to RI President Francesco for taking the time to visit Uganda and witness firsthand the remarkable humanitarian impact Rotarians here are making in our communities.
His recognition of Rotarians who generously give to The Rotary Foundation to do good in the world was truly inspiring. It was a powerful reminder that our collective contributions—no matter the size—create lasting change in people’s lives.
Julie and I were especially honored to be personally pinned by RI President Francesco. It was a humbling moment, and one we will always cherish. The gesture symbolized not only personal commitment, but also the shared dedication of countless Rotarians striving to serve humanity.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the organizers of this memorable visit and to every giver of good whose generosity continues to transform communities through Rotary International. Together, we are not just serving—we are creating hope in the world.
