The future is in their hands!
Today DGN Bob and I were invited to attend the national briefing of Ambassadorial Scholars, Peace Scholars and Vocational Scholars in Wellington. Tonight we joined them for a meal at the local Chinese restaurant - ably coordinated by Brian Lynch and his team. I was provided the opportunity to meet and speak to them and this gave me the opportunity to once again stress the core values of Rotary - that of Service Above Self. This is a service we give without counting the cost, a service that costs nothing but our time, our talents and hearts. All the great gifts in this world are not costing in currency but certainly involves an investment of ourselves. The service to our friends in Christchurch, to the underprivileged, the young, the aged, the community and to those charities we wish to support. The best gift is our free service. This is a group of scholars from around the world, keen to learn and to give as they increase international understanding.
