We want to particularly want to embrace the new generations in this month of youth service. As you and me know, the youth is the future. It is not any different in our world of Rotary. We look forward to a very dynamic and vibrant interact and rotaract development program to fit well in line with the RI phenomenal and fastest growing service program now at well over 250,000 in 170 countries. The Kisenyi service buddy group has special interest in this group because of a belief that young people should take an active interest in commu- nity life and have the maiden opportunity for professional development. Organizing these clubs is one of the most rewarding activities a Rotary club can undertake in its community. Ironically, these interactors and rotaractors eventually end up becom- ing sources of energy for Rotarians. They boost our attendances at fellowship, helps supervise Rotarian projects, become rotary foundations ambassadorial scholars or group study exchange team members, but most importantly, they seek member- ship in the Rotary clubs at the end of the programs. What other breeding ground can any organisation hope to have? Rotaractors and Interactors are a very crucial arm of Rotary’s extended family. I can only hereby therefore, take on noble and most humbling duty to invite us to engage this youth service in order to change lives in our community. Hope you enjoy our fellowship and God bless you always.
