Dear Fellow Rotarians and Rotaractors,
Last Tuesday, we had an insightful discussion on “Are You Growing Wealth or Just Earning It?”
Rtn Percy Lubega took us through the current economic environment, explaining inflation, its impact on our purchasing power and earnings, how the bans adjust their interest rates in response to economic changes.
One important takeaway was the need to look beyond the amount of a loan and understand the actual interest we shall pay. He also shared practical tips on how and when to invest wisely. The discussion was a timely reminder that earning money is one thing; growing and managing wealth is another.
This Tuesday we have another interesting topic: The Power of Us- Turning Ordinary Giving into Extraordinary Change. What does this mean?
The power of us is about recognising that when individuals come together with a shared purpose, even the smallest contributions can create extraordinary impact. In Rotary, giving is not just about money. It is about giving out time, skills, knowledge, ideas, networks and resources. One person’s contribution may seem small, but when combined with the contribution of others, it can transform communities and change lives.
Think about it: one Rotarian may provide scholastic materials to a child, another may offer mentorship, while others contribute towards improving the learning environment. Together, these ordinary acts can create an extraordinary opportunity for that child.
This is the beauty of Rotary - we may not all be able to do great things individually, but together, we can do great things. But why should each one of us give?
As we embrace our theme, Create Lasting Impact, let us remember that the strength of Rotary lies not only in what each of us gives, but in what we achieve together.
Let us give, serve and continue to Create Lasting Impact.
I look forward to another week of learning, fellowship and service together. As we continue to be led by Katogo buddy group.
Yours in Service,
Christine Amucu
