What The Rotary Foundation means to me now and for the future

扶輪基金現在與未來對我有什麼意義

I recall the first time I heard the words of Arch Klumpf, quoted in a speech by a district governor, calling for establishment of a foundation “for doing good in the world.” I wonder if Arch knew what he was starting. As M.A.T. Caparas said, “Rotary Brings Hope.”  Bringing hope is exactly what The Rotary Foundation does. It is the soul of our international service efforts.

我憶起當第一次聽到一位地區總監引用了Arch Klumpf的話，需要成立一個〝全世界行善〞的基金會。我懷疑Arch是否知道是他開始的。正如M.A.T. Caparas所說，〝扶輪帶來希望。〞而帶來希望完全是扶輪基金會做了什麼。這是我們國際服務努力的靈魂。
