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 see The Rotary Foundation as a model for the future of the world. Instead of countries focusing on self-serving endeavors, they accept that they are all on this planet together, that our futures are interdependent and they are secure only if all people are secure. When everyone has food, clean water, medical assistance and education we will move toward a world of peace and understanding. The Rotary Foundation is leading the way.
我見到扶輪基金將成為未來世界的一種典範。取代了國家著重於自私服務的努力，他們接受了在這顆行星上他們是在一起的，我們的將來是相互倚賴的並且唯有所有的人安全時，他們才會安全。當每個人都有食品、乾淨的水、醫療援助和教育時，我們定能達到一種和平和瞭解的世界。而扶輪基金正在引領著這條路。
