December 2008

Dear fellow Rotarians,

As a father of four and grandfather of five, I have been fortunate to
have spent many years in the company of children. When raising our own
children, my wife, Young, and I worked hard to give them what all
children need most: a loving, safe, and stable home. Our children were
our first priority, and we made sure that they always had nutritious
food, appropriate clothing, quality medical care, and a good education.
We knew very well how fortunate we were to be able to do this. We were
grateful that we never had to say to our children, "I'm sorry,
but there's nothing to eat tonight," or "I'm sorry, but
we can't pay your school fees."

When I was a child, Korea was a poor country, and there were many
children who went to bed hungry at night and had no school to go to in
the morning. As a Rotarian, I know only too well that there are still
far too many children in the world without the absolute essentials:
food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and education. And as a Rotarian
who is also a father, I consider all of the world's children to be
my responsibility.

When I see my own grandchildren - happy, healthy, and enrolled in
good schools - I cannot help but think of the millions of children
who do not have so many advantages. I think of the children who have too
little to eat and only dirty water to drink. I think of the children who
are sick with diseases that could have been prevented and those who will
have nowhere safe to sleep tonight. And I think of the children,
millions of them every year, who won't live to see their fifth
birthday.

December is Family Month. It is a time to focus on our families, to
involve them in our Rotary service, and to challenge ourselves to do
even more for those in need. Because there are so many families and so
many children waiting for our help, we, as Rotarians, cannot look away.
We cannot and will not rest until all children, everywhere, have the
chance for a long and healthy life. We will not rest until we Make
Dreams Real for every child in every home where there is hunger,
sickness, and want. As Rotarians, we can do no less.

President, Rotary International
