We are ushering in the festive season of Christmas and thank you for sharing the wonderful gifts of your projects that you are doing for your communities as clubs. No wrapping paper was required.
The best gift I believe is “when people come together and make memories” and memories is what I will have in abundance for this year.
EDITOR’S NOTE
December is here and we are standing at the edge of the old year looking forward to ushering a new one. It seems like only yesterday that we were celebrating a new year and making lots of plans and goals. I don’t know about you but many of my goals are still on paper, yet to be achieved. Fortunately, the other day I read somewhere, the goals in themselves are not the only measure of success but also the process and the journey and the lessons learnt along the way. So even if you have not achieved all that you set out to but have learned and grown in the year, then you can still celebrate that.
Born in 1946 in Seoul, Korea, as the youngest of 6 children, Rotarian Young Kimaro’s brief stint as a child actress on TV came to a stop when she left for U.K. with her parents. She holds a PhD in economics from the University of Maryland graduate school among other qualifications. She joined the World Bank in 1972 where she enjoyed a long and successful career spanning from strategizing development assistance, education projects, to moderating quality review panels for the Bank’s operations, until her retirement in 2001. She then relocated to Tanzania with her family. Today, she devotes her time to community development for Mwika Development Trust Fund (MWIDEFU) as a Rotarian. She shared her story with our Wave correspondents, Flavia Serugo, the Wave Editor, Uganda.
