It gives me immense pleasure and pride to find myself leading our club in the year 2022-23, The rotary year of women empowerment; when Jennifer Jones Rotary International’s first female president is eager to advance Rotary’s narrative and DG Sandhya Maini is off to a fantastic start with her fantastic vision.
I can never imagine myself not being a Rotarian. I started my rotary journey in 1999 in India and as I moved forward and gained more information, knowledge and insight about this wonderful service organization, I developed a strong bond with it. I enjoyed being part it and acting at club and district leadership positions. In addition, I was part of number of National and International global health care projects. I am a multiple PHF.
I came to Canada 5 years ago. Besides many other things, I missed my rotary friends and activities. After some research and interactions, I became part of rotary club of Brampton South in 2020. As we know, the year was marked with COVID19 outbreak, which brought everything under siege. Fighting back, we started to learn to live in digital world and continued doing whatever we were doing but with a different touch. Zoom meetings gave me an excellent opportunity, to get to know and interact with wonderful rotary leaders of district 7080 quickly. However, on the other side I missed in person interactions and activities.
Rotary to me is my extended family. I believe, Rotary has power to do and empowers us to do good in the world around and beyond us: by fighting disease, growing local economics, promoting peace, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, sporting education and by supporting the environment.
The current rotary theme” Imagine Rotary” by RI president Jennifer Jones gives wings to our imagination as to what we can do to be a voice of Rotary at individual and club level. Our DG Sandhya Maini envisions the same power and will support us take action in that direction.
Do not stop imagining; Imagine and expand that imagination to infinity; as to what we can do for others through Rotary. I imagine my club growing. While doing good to a community around us let us expand our boundaries to do good in the world by doing global international projects in field of health care, peace and conflict resolution, women empowerment or supporting environment. Each of these complement other.
“Help will be given to those who ask for it’ (Albas Dumbledore in Harry Potter). That help in Rotary is a fingertip. Join “My Rotary” and visit “Rotary.Org” get every possible help.
I request for your support and am looking forward to work with you all .

Particularly followed soccer, golf and tennis. He especially enjoyed bringing family and friends together to share the Nigerian culture, music and food.
