DG’s January Message
Happy New Year my Fellow Rotarians!
 
We are now into a New Year and like every New Year it brings hope, dreams and goals. I truly wish you and your loved ones an amazing 2020. I completed all my official club visits in D9211 in the first week of December 2019. We are now in the month of January which begins our second half of the Rotary year 2019-2020. January is designated for Vocational Service. It is a time when we recognize Rotary Fellowships. I am quite passionate about both Vocational Service in Rotary and the various fellowships that Rotary has for all of us. I love the fact that we all have classifications in Rotary that enable us to bring something to the table. Let us connect with our skills to help those less fortunate through Rotary Projects. Our founder, Paul Harris, said, “Of all the one hundred and one ways in which men can make themselves useful to society, undoubtedly the most available and often the most effective are within the spheres of their own occupations.”

DG’s December Message
Posted by Xavier Sentamu on Dec 01, 2019
December is an exciting time of the year as we prepare for the festive season. In Rotary it is the month that we commemorate one of our key focus areas: disease prevention and treatment. Initially this coincidence struck me as ironical until I began to draw some correlations. The festive season involves gifting to family members, friends and colleagues and I am certain many of us are already feeling the pressure. But there are gifts and then there are gifts. Good health is one of the latter. Infact it is one of those gifts that keep on giving! So, what a privilege it is for us as Rotarians to focus on this priceless gift during the month of December!

DG’s November Message
Posted by Xavier Sentamu on Nov 12, 2019
On 21st October 2019, I and a team of Rotary leaders, set off on an adventure to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro – the tallest mountain in Africa and also the world’s tallest free standing mountain. We had been practicing for this for months and we were in high spirits as we started out our five day climb at Marangu Gate in Tanzania. But we soon realized that regular hiking does not quite prepare you for the demands of a Kilimanjaro climb. As the landscape changed each day, from the lush green rain forest to heath and moorland, and then dusty alpine desert so did our energy levels. As we went higher up, the air became drier, colder and with less oxygen – so much so that walking became a real effort. Our movements became slower and our steps heavier. The stamina and endurance levels of each member of our group was put to the test. But two things kept us going. Our collective determination to reach the top; and the enthusiastic reminder by the tour guide at the end of each day of how far we had climbed, how far we were above sea level and how closer we were to the peak of this great mountain. Sometime in the night of 24th October, we embarked on our last ascent and sunrise found us at Gilman’s point - 5685m/ 18652 ft above sea level! We had made it, the sky was literally within reach and we proudly pulled out our Rotary End Polio banners. It was an exhilarating moment.

DG’s October Message
Posted by Xavier Sentamu on Oct 09, 2019
“I would like to encourage all clubs to develop projects through the prism of economic empowerment and poverty reduction.”
 
As District Governor, I have over the last three months been accorded the opportunity of traversing our great district. I have been privileged to see first-hand some of the tremendous work that Rotarians in both Uganda and Tanzania are doing at the community level.  But going around has also been a sobering experience for me.  I have been struck by the high levels of poverty in many of our communities, caused by high youth unemployment, underemployment and the lack of economic opportunity.

DG’s September Message 
Posted by F X Sentamu on Sep 01, 2019
It is now two months since the start of the connecting Rotary Year 2019-2020. The ended month of August was Membership and New Club Development Month and from all indications, it has been a great month for exposing Rotary to the wider community and for membership growth. Several clubs participated in the Rotary Cancer Run and the Eastern Mega Fellowship. Thank you for connecting the world.
 
The month of September, we highlight Basic Education and Literacy, one of the six areas of focus. My friends, did you know that worldwide, many children have no access to education and people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Rotarians are supporting educational projects that provide technology, teacher training, vocational training teams, student meal programs, and low-cost textbooks to communities. The goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
