聽聽扶輪基金會的受惠者與支持者親口述說基金會計劃如何讓世界更美好：「如今我懂得儲蓄。我用這些錢讓小孩受教育。他們告訴我說他們以我為榜樣。他們一天天長大，心智也更加健全。」
In their own words, beneficiaries and supporters of The Rotary Foundation tell how Foundation programs have made a difference in the world:
"I've learned to save money. I'm using the profits to give my children an education. They tell me they are inspired by me. They're growing up with a better mentality."

「正當全球努力消除敵對仇視，我也瞭解到這麼多身為留學生的我們能學到什麼；文化差異讓我們與眾不同，但我們的差異卻不是最重要的。我們可以通力合作，促進尊重彼此的文化，和平及瞭解。我要感謝扶輪賜給我這個一生難得的良機。」
"As the world works to combat hatred and intolerance, I am reminded of what so many of us learn as students abroad: cultural differences make us unique, but our differences are not what ultimately matter. We can all work together to foster cross-cultural respect, peace, and understanding. I thank Rotary for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime."
─詹姆士•艾斯培(James Espey)，在蘇格蘭進修的美國大使獎學金學生「唯有當地球上每個男女老幼都豐衣足食、享有基本的醫療與受教機會，才會有世界和平的一天。我們有生之年或許無緣一見這一天，但終將到來。當這一天來臨時，扶輪基金會將是使世界和平成真的關鍵之一。」
- James Espey, U.S. Ambassadorial Scholar who studied in Scotland
"A world at peace will only happen when every man, woman, and child on this planet has enough to eat, access to basic health care, and the opportunity for an education. It may not happen in our lifetime, but it will happen. And when it does, The Rotary Foundation will have been one of the key players that made it possible."
─加拿大安大略省布拉碼烈(Bramalea)扶輪社員泰瑞•珀美(Terry Palmay)及夫人雪倫(Sharon)
