District 7030 District Newsletter – May 1, 2012

At the recently concluded District 7030 Conference, PETS

and Assembly, the clubs present unanimously confirmed

the appointment of Rotarian Elwin Atmodimedjo to the

position of District Governor for the 2014-2015 Rotary

Year. Elwin is a Past President of the Rotary Club of

Paramaribo Residence, in Suriname and has served as

Assistant Governor on three occasions.

Elwin was born on March 14, 1962 in Suriname. He is

married to Maureene and they have three children:

Matthew, Joshua and Morijah .

After school, Elwin was offered an IT scholarship by IBM

Suriname so he went to Holland to work and study in ICT.

He developed his career as an ICT Consultant working for

several Dutch software houses and ICT Consultant

Bureaus, building his experiences in different

environments such as ING-Bank, ABN/AMRO bank,

Telecom companies, Insurance companies, Government

and Multi Nationals like Sony Corporation and Philips.

In 1999 Elwin returned to Suriname as Managing Director of IBM Suriname, a position he

held until March 2003 when he started his own company - SolveIT NV. Solveit is now the

leading company in delivering financial transaction, ATM and POS solutions to the Banks and

other financial institutions in Suriname.

Inspired by their eldest son Matthew, who has

autism, Elwin and his wife started research on

the subject of autism and in 2004 they co-

founded the CONECTO Foundation, a private

NGO helping families of children with autism

and learning difficulties.

Elwin is an active member of his football club

and he also enjoys the outdoor life and music.

When he has spare time he is actively involved

in his church and VHJI, an organization that

preserves Indonesian / Javanese culture and

heritage.

From 2-7

th April, more than 200

Rotarians and guests from

District 7030 enjoyed the

majestic hospitality of the

Celebrity Millennium as it

cruised from Miami to Honduras

and Mexico. The 5 day cruise

was a first for our District – an

innovative way to celebrate our

20th

anniversary conference.

The Conference program

featured a review of the current

Rotary year and club

presentations on wonderful

projects as wide ranging as:

Health clinics in Point

Fortin Trinidad

Tree planting in St Lucia

Sickle cell anemia awareness in

Guadeloupe

RYLA in Grenada

50th

Anniversary celebrations in

Barbados

In addition to the District 7030 club

presentations, DGN Herve and PDG David

shared some insight into Future Vision (the

new grant structure of the Rotary Foundation)

and RI President’s Representative Rosemary

Aragon outlined the focus for Rotary in

bringing professional and volunteer skills

together, telling our story and raising

awareness of our work.

The clubs present voted on 6 resolutions, all of

which were passed:

1. Elwin Atmodimedjo from

the Rotary Club of

of appreciation, and awards were presented to

30 clubs including:

The highlight of the cruise was definitely our

legendary fellowship. As expected, Rotarians

of District 7030 took enthusiastic advantage of

all the ship had to offer including the

Broadway shows, spa, cinema, night club and

casinos. Each night after dinner many of us

gathered in the disco to let off some steam,

even managing to persuade the DJ to play

soca!

Onshore in Roatan and Cozumel was very

exciting and Rotarians participated in

shopping excursions, tours of Mayan ruins,

snorkelling and swimming with dolphins. We

even networked with the Rotary Club of

Roatan, who raise funds via their booth at the

cruise line arrival area.

Special thanks must go to the team who

worked so hard to put this together – Janice,

Naz, Eric, Eddy, Vin, Paddy, Azard - Each of

you deserves the highest praise for your

commitment to excellence. Thank you.

COMMENTS FROM DELEGATES

‘The organization of the District 7030

Conference 2012 was somewhat different as it

was aboard a cruise ship. This, however,

made for an excellent ambience and some

beautiful scenery. Personally, I enjoyed the

conference and found the topics covered in the

PETS and Assembly very useful. Thanks to the

efforts of DG Lara, DGE Stephen, PDG David

and others, our club leaders can safely set sail

for the new Rotary year!’

Rakesh Adhin, President Elect - Rotary Club

Paramaribo Central, Suriname

‘The district conference 2012/13 was indeed

different and very memorable. There was an

atmosphere of relaxation which allowed

Rotarians and presenters to perform better.

Fellowship was exciting and rewarding,

especially discussions related to specific clubs

projects. Family bonding was great-spouses

and kids got the opportunity to enjoy

themselves during this festive Easter period.

This was made possible mainly due to the

cruise environment. District Governor Lara

did a very informative review of 2011/12

Rotary year which was filled with emotions

and rewards. Clubs were rewarded with

countless trophies and other incentives that

will definitely go a long way to encourage the

District to strive for excellence. DGE Stephen

Ramroop was very methodical and clinical in

his training sessions and workshops.

Definitely 2012/13 Rotary year is going to be

a good one. Thanks to the entire team for this

wonderful District Conference. We are all

looking forward to transfer the amazing

knowledge to our club.’

Ronald Rampersad, President Elect - Rotary

Club of Chaguanas, Trinidad

‘Our pets, assembly and conference was a

fantastic experience. We were all on board,

quite settled, most of us had a sip of our

chilled wine which was carefully placed in our

cabin, compliments of the district.

We had a warm conference opening with

welcome remarks from our District Governor

Lara Quentrall-Thomas and RI Special

representative Rosemary Aragon. This was

followed by a hearty dinner after which

everyone set out to explore the ship’s many

activities as there were Rotarians with their

families in attendance who needed to ensure

that they were familiar with the ship whilst

Rotarians attended their activities.

We got on the way on the morning of Tuesday

3rd

, with the Introduction of our training team.

The RI theme address was done by GDE

Stephen and the purpose of P.E.T.S was done

by district trainer Nigel Aqui and a mini talk

form the RI special representative on Rotary.

Now here is when the fun began, there were

breakout sessions all during the conference.

Most of us in attendance thought we were

going to sit in a class room and be lectured to

but that sort of training was nowhere in sight.

The breakout sessions were quite fun and

interesting; we the participants interacted and

carried these sessions way beyond the time

allotted because there was so much to be said

with much passion and enthusiasm about this

thing called Rotary. The trainers were

fantastic in helping to promote the message

and guide us in the right direction when we

would go off track with our many energetic

ideas.

The interactive sessions allowed us to learn of

the many different cultures and project forms

and to get a firsthand look at systems that

work in some clubs in the district whilst we

also shared new ideas.

In our breakout groups we discussed and

presented on topics such as:

How to support and strengthen our

clubs

Increase humanitarian service

Enhance public image and create

awareness

The five avenues of service

Leadership skills

RI strategic plan

Supporting the RI foundation

Future Vision Plan

Risk Management

Financials

Membership / recruitment / retention

With discussions of these topics and sharing

our experiences and ideas, I think we the

participants and the trainers felt a sense of

pride for we promoted the message of Rotary,

upheld the pillars of Rotary and had

fellowship whilst we learned from each other.

The many presentations at our closing

ceremony was even more compelling for us to

be Rotarians, to create awareness, enhance

public image and to encourage new members

to be a part of this wonderful organization

called Rotary.

The Rotary Youth Counseling Mobile Centre Arrives in Saint Lucia Thanks to Benefit Concerts put on by The

Rotary Calabashers (Musical performing

Group) along with donations by The ECFH

Group and The Van Geest Foundation, the

long awaited “Rotary Youth Counseling

Mobile Unit” has arrived in St.Lucia ,in

preparation for its official launch by the

Rotary Club of Saint Lucia.

“The Rotary Bus” as the project is known, will

house Counselling Representatives from the

National Skills Development Centre, Belfund

Micro Financing, and the St.Lucia Planned

Parenthood Association and will provide

islandwide Counselling Services to young

persons and others, who wish to avail

themselves of this latest offer, by The Rotary

Club of Saint Lucia.

According to Chairman of the Rotary Youth

Counselling Project Chairman, Malcolm

Charles, “the idea had been in the making for

some 3 plus years, based upon a survey

submitted to Rotary, by former CMO (now

President of RISE St. Lucia), Senator Dr.

Stephen King, which drew attention to the

plight of a considerable number of the nations

Youth”, who had little or no access to Skills

Training, Micro Self Employment Financing

or Planned Parenthood facilities, as will now

become available, once The Rotary Bus

programme is ultimately launched islandwide,

hopefully by mid 2012.

The estimated $300K Rotary Mobile

Counseling Bus, fitted with Counseling

offices and a Medical clinic on board ,is the

very first of its kind in St. Lucia and will

continue the provision of Humanitarian

Services, similar to earlier Rotary sponsored

Mobile Blood Bank projects, reported as

having saved “thousands of Saint Lucian

lives” each year.

The Rotary Club of St. Lucia wishes to thank

the general public for support of their Benefit

Concerts and other Fund raising projects, and

to sponsors for their generosity.

“ROTARY”….coming to a town near

you….!!

Ten Rotarians honoured as Champions of Change at White House By Ryan Hyland

Rotary International News – 23 April 2012

Photos by Monika Lozinska/Rotary Images

Ten U.S. Rotarians were honored by the

White House on 20 April as Champions of

Change for their exemplary humanitarian

work locally and internationally.

At the daylong event, more than 160 Rotarians

attended a morning round of briefings by U.S.

government officials on topics including

maternal and child health, disease prevention,

economic development, youth and education,

water and sanitation, and peace building.

RI President Kalyan Banerjee, addressing the

session, said the 10 honorees clearly

demonstrate a problem-solving spirit.

“Each of them identified a problem —

whether it was water-borne disease or poverty

or hunger or polio -- and they did something

about it. But they did it in a way that works,”

said Banerjee. “They worked closely with the

community to ensure that the solutions they

proposed were better than what was there

before in all ways -- solutions that were

workable, preferable, and -- and this is a key

point -- sustainable.”

The ten Rotarians honored as Champions of

Change included:

Terrence Allen, a member of the

Rotary Club of Lakeshore (Baroda-

Stevensville-Bridgman), Michigan.

Allen volunteers at the Children’s Safe

Water Project, which provides clean

water to thousands of families in the

Dominican Republic.

Jim Fulgham, a member of the Rotary

Club of Arlington, Texas. Fulgham

partnered with local colleges and

universities to raise US$1 million to

provide scholarships to sixth grade

students from disadvantage families

who finish high school and enroll into

college.

Noelle Galperin, a member of the

Rotary Club of Coral Gables, Florida.

Galperin initiated her club’s Haiti

recovery efforts in the aftermath of the

devastating 2010 earthquake. She also

helped raise more than $325,000 for

polio eradication.

Anil Garg, a member of the Rotary

Club of Simi Valley, California. Garg

has led multiple National

Immunization Days in India and is a

strong advocate for adult literacy.

Richard J. Kemme, a member of the

Rotary Club of Greeley, Colorado.

Kemme uses his background in

orthopedic surgery to train surgeons in

Malawi.

David Kester, a member of the Rotary

Club of Anchorage, Alaska. Kester and

his club have been instrumental in the

success of the Mobile Food Pantry of

Anchorage, which has provided more

than three million pounds of produce,

dairy products and other perishable

foods to thousands of Alaskan

families.

Rotary Club Innsbrook (Richmond),

Virginia. Thompson led his club in the

expansion of the Coal Pit Learning

Center, which provides enriched pre-

“Every one of our champions of change can

offer the kind of fundamental knowledge and

understanding of their communities that

informs innovative solutions designed to work

on every level,” said Banerjee. “They will

serve as inspiration to all of us.”

Ten Rotarians were honored as Champions of

Change.

Introducing Rotary Showcase! Rotary Service Department Staff, [email protected], April 2012.

Dear District Governor:

It’s almost here! Rotary Showcase is Rotary International’s newest online tool to help

Rotarians broadcast information and share their service projects globally with the Rotary

family and beyond. Users can add their club’s service projects, connect with other clubs and

districts, and explore the variety of projects that Rotarians are undertaking worldwide. The

best part is that all of this is done through an application that connects directly to Facebook.

It’s an exciting new step for Rotary, and we wanted to be sure that you, as a district leader,

were one of the first to know about it. Rotary Showcase will be fully unveiled during the RI

Convention in Bangkok, and Rotarians attending the convention will be able to take a full look

at what it has to offer.

Click here to preview some initial projects on Rotary Showcase before it is shared with the

rest of the Rotary community. Users will be able to upload pictures, create discussions about

their initiatives, and even join projects that other Rotarians have created. We hope you enjoy

this new and exciting way to promote your projects, and look forward to sharing it with you in

its full potential at Convention!

ShelterBox is Rotary’s first Project Partner Submitted by: John P. Hewko,General Secretary, Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation

It is a pleasure to announce ShelterBox, a

grassroots disaster relief organization, is

Rotary’s first project partner. One of

Rotary’s four partner categories, project

partner status is available to organizations

started or managed by Rotarians and that offer

service opportunities to Rotarians.

ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and

lifesaving supplies to families affected by

disasters at the time when they need it most.

Founded in 2000 by Rotarian Tom Henderson,

ShelterBox has assisted well over one million

people by responding to almost 200 natural or

manmade disasters in over 75 different

countries.

By working together, we can provide relief

and temporary shelter to victims of natural

disasters. Encourage Rotarians in your district

to:

Visit the ShelterBox booth at RI

Convention in Bangkok, Thailand

Invite a ShelterBox representative to

speak at your district conference

Encourage Rotarians to volunteer for a

ShelterBox Response Team (SRT)

Involve New Generations through

Young ShelterBox

Visit ShelterBox's website for more

information on how districts and clubs

can support relief efforts

Additionally, ShelterBox holds significant

stocks of emergency shelter and humanitarian

aid supplies in numerous pre-position

locations around the world. If a disaster occurs

in your district resulting in an urgent need for

emergency shelter - please do not hesitate to

contact ShelterBox

at [email protected]. ShelterBox

can rapidly deploy response teams and

humanitarian aid anywhere worldwide to

provide shelter, warmth and dignity to

families left homeless by natural or man-made

disasters (subject to need).

To support this partnership, Rotary will share

information about ShelterBox disaster relief

efforts with you, and with your permission,

the clubs in your district. A separate request

will be sent to incoming governors asking for

permission for Rotary to send information

about ShelterBox to clubs twice during the

2012-13 Rotary year.

I hope your district will welcome this

opportunity to increase our support of

ShelterBox to meet the immediate needs of

victims affected by disaster.

Adding a Sparkle to their young lives

One of the oldest traditions in Guyana is kite

flying which is evident even for many days

before the Easter holiday weekend. But

Easter Monday is the day when all the kite

flyers – tiny tots, children of all ages, parents

and grandparents – come out in their

thousands. There is no age restriction and it is

a time when families make that extra effort to

be together for the day.

Rotarians of the Rotary Club of Georgetown

Central have, since the early 1990s, decided to

bring joy to the hearts of thirty orphans by

hosting them to a day of fun on Easter

Monday, which the Club has named “The Kite

Flying Classic”. This has taken place every

year since then.

In the past kids were chosen from three

orphanages - The St Ann’s Orphanage for

Girls, Joshua House (both in the city) and the

St John Bosco in Plaisance, five miles from

Georgetown on the East Coast of Demerara.

This year they (all boys) were chosen from

Joshua House and St. John Bosco and ranged

in ages between eight and fourteen years.

Fears rose during the week preceding Easter

Monday as the rainy weather threatened to

cause the event to be cancelled. Fortunately

Easter Monday was greeted with brilliant

sunshine which remained for the entire

Classic. It seemed as though the entire world

(and Mother Nature herself) wanted to ensure

that these deserving young ones would be

allowed to let their minds and spirits soar with

the kites. This was evident from the broad

smiles and hearty laughter seen and heard all

day.

The task of getting the kites airborne can

sometimes involve running and may become a

bit strenuous, so this was a duty undertaken by

our younger Rotarians and very supportive

Rotaractors. The ‘not so young’ Rotarians

ensured that the childrens’ enjoyment was

complete with as much food and drink and

attention as they needed.

The annual “Kite Flying Classic” activities

take place at the YMCA and just a year ago a

commercial playground was established there,

District 7030 District Newsletter – May 1, 2012

to the added delight of the children who had

another area of enjoyment as they were

allowed to visit the playground whenever

throughout the day. As can be expected they

made full use of this.

As the bus rolled in to take them back to the

orphanage, there was a mixture of sadness and

joy on their little faces – sadness in having to

say ‘ bye bye’ and joy that they were able to

share a day of wonderful fellowship with each

other. Indeed, similar expressions of joy could

be seen on the faces of all the Rotarians who

came together and made the day one that some

young orphans will most likely remember

with joy for many years and even decades to

come.

From the 8-15th

April 2012 the Rotaract Club

Genesis went to Trinidad and Tobago for

exchange projects with the Rotaract Clubs of

Central Port of Spain, Port of Spain West,

Arima, Maraval, St. Augustine, Piarco

andTobago. The aim of this trip was to gain

another experience outside Suriname. The trip

was full of excitement, serving the

community, bounding and a learning

experience. It was packed program from day

1 till the last day of our trip. On our arrival in

Trinidad we were picked up by the

Surinamese Embassy and the Rotaract Club of

Central POS. Later that night we had Turtle

Watching with the Rotaract Club of Arima, St.

Augustine and Central Port of Spain. Day 2

was the trip to the beautifull twin island were

we met the Rotaract Club of Tobago. We

enjoyed the beautifull beach and went to their

annual Goat Race which was a fun experience

for all of us. The next day early in the morning

we went back to Trinidad by ferry which was

a new experience. Later in the morning ,we

had an appointment at our Surinamese

Ambassador in Trinidad and Tobago. This

was a very pleasant meeting and she invited us

to her residence the next day and cooked for

us. On day 4 a trip to UWI of St. Augstine was

planned for us by the Rotaract Club of Piarco.

A two hour tour through the UWI gave a

better view of studies being done there and the

campus life which is very interesting. On day

5 & 6 a treeplanting project was executed at

Raffa’s House with the Rotaract club of Port

of Spain West. Together we made the ground

ready and planted celeryand different kinds of

vegetables. Even the kids assisted us with

planting. On the Saturday we had a

community project with the Rotaract Club of

Maraval. It was the St. Crispin Home, a home

for aged women. The morning was started

with a Bingo, after that a soup which was

provided by Genesis and Maraval took care of

drinks. We ended the day with a spa

treatment to all the ladies from the home.

DRR Vishi visited the project as well. In the

afternoon we took part in the Cultural

Cookfest of St. Augustine. We presented an

Indonesian dish. A presentation about the

country was done by director Tirza and while

the rest of us, introduced the country by a

cultural dance. The appetizer was a Saoto

Soup, the main dish wasNasi Rames( rice

table) and the dessert was Bakabana (fried

plantain) served with peanut saus, which DG

Lara loved very much. We won the 3rd

place,

best dish and best people choice. This whole

event was a great experience. The next day

which was the last day of our stay and it was

enclosed by a meeting with DRR Vishi and

DDRR Todd.

It was a great experience visiting Trinidad and

Tobago.

Greetings to all. We should all be motivated

after the District Conference cruise.

Remember that Presidents Elect promised to

get their Clubs contributions forwarded to the

TRF. I heard many great reports of clubs

raising monies for the Foundation and for this

I say thanks to all concerned. However, the

funds in several of these cases have not yet

been remitted and I am urging that this be

done now.

This year we promised $153,660 to the

Foundation but at this time only $58,438 has

been remitted or 38% of the goal. Remember

these goals were set by the Clubs. Please

therefore spend some time and deal with these

TRF issues now rather than wait until June at

the last minute.

At this time we have 23 open grants to the

District totaling US$542,972. Just think of this

money is helping our District. Two are due

reports and we hope to have these cleared as

soon as practically possible. Many thanks to

those who have submitted timely reports.

There are two Ambassadorial Scholars, one in

the USA and one in the UK, while one is due

to leave for the USA in July. The GSE team

from District 5840 is now in Guyana and our

team will be departing for Texas shortly.

Urge your members to make their EREY

contributions as well.

Below is a reminder from the Foundation on

double points and further is a spreadsheet

showing where we are by club.

Double Foundation Recognition Points for

Rotary Direct Contributions

The Rotary Foundation is pleased to announce

that double Foundation recognition point will

be automatically given to Rotarians and

friends of Rotary who are enrolled in

Rotary’s recurring giving program, Rotary

Direct, and make one or more scheduled

(monthly, quarterly or annual) contributions

between April 1 and July 1, 2012. Making a

monthly, quarterly or annual gift through

Rotary’s secure online system is the most

cost-effective and efficient way to support The

Rotary Foundation's life-changing grants and

activities. Questions can be answered by

Rotary’s Contact Center at

[email protected] or call 866-976-

8279. In addition to giving online, paper

enrollments are also accepted for this

promotion. For paper enrollments, Rotarians

are encouraged to use the new Foundation

Contribution Form that includes an option for

recurring (monthly, quarterly or annual)

contributions. For those who want to give via

a checking account rather than credit card,

they can be advised to simply input their 'debit

card' details rather than a credit card, which

will authorize debiting one’s banking

account.

Rotarians help orphans of HIV/AIDS

in Uganda Rotary International News -- 6 April 2012

Rotary announces partnerships with

food bank network and youth service

group

By Ryan Hyland

Rotary International - 19 April 2012

More than 1.2 million of Uganda’s children

have lost both parents to HIV/AIDS.

The Rotary Foundation and its partners are

providing health care, and hope for the future,

to over 500 orphans in the country.

“Despite the fact that their parents died, they

wish to have the best life that we all have. So

we give them assistance,” says Joseph

Matovu, a senior clinic officer and member of

the Rotary Club of Kalisizo, Uganda.

The efforts of Rotarians in Matovu's

community is just one example of Rotary's

work in the disease prevention and treatment

area of focus.

Two new service partnerships announced this

month by Rotary International will support

humanitarian efforts by clubs and districts. RI

will combine resources with the Global

FoodBanking Network to alleviate hunger

worldwide. And Rotary and YSA (Youth

Service America) will work together to

encourage young people to participate in

service projects in their communities.

Working with the Global FoodBanking

Network, Rotary clubs and districts will be

able to volunteer at food banks and help create

new ones, organize food collection drives,

sponsor trucks for food delivery and

distribution, raise awareness of hunger, and

distribute food to hungry children through the

BackPack and other school food programs.

Founded in 1986, YSA has partnered with

hundreds of organizations in more than 65

countries to increase the number and diversity

of young people ages 5 to 25 serving in their

communities. The organization works to

educate youth, teachers, community

organizations, and public officials in the

power of young people to solve problems, and

to engage the children and youth as

volunteers, academic achievers, and

community leaders.

YSA’s annual Global Youth Service Day

campaign, this year 20-22 April, mobilizes

millions of young people in service activities.
