I give thanks for the opportunity to be a Rotarian

Rotarians dig wells from which we will never drink

We vaccinate children we will never meet

We restore eyesight for those we will never see

We build housing we will never live in

We educate children we will never know

We plant trees we will never sit under

We feed hungry people regardless of race or politics

We know real happiness, which as Albert Schweitzer once said,

Can only be found by helping others.

For this opportunity, we give thanks...
