February
is World Understanding Month, marks birthday of RI
The month of February is special in the Rotary calendar
since it is designated World Understanding Month. The month also includes the
anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on 23 February 1905, now
designated World Understanding and Peace Day.
In designating World Understanding Month, the Rotary
International board asks all Rotary clubs to plan programs for their weekly
meetings and undertake special activities to emphasize “understanding and goodwill
as essential for world peace.”
To observe this designated month, many clubs arrange
international speakers, invite Youth Exchange students and international
scholars from schools and universities to club meetings, plan programs
featuring former Group Study Exchange team members, arrange discussions on
global issues, present entertainment with an international cultural or artistic
theme, and schedule other programs with an international emphasis.
Many clubs take the opportunity to launch an international
community service activity or make contact with a Rotary club in another
country. It is a good month to initiate a Rotary Friendship Exchange, a 3-H
project or encourage support for PolioPlus and other Rotary Foundation
programs.
World Understanding Month is a chance for every club to
pause, plan and promote the Fourth Avenue of Service - Rotary’s continued quest
for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the world.
Timeline
– 2002 Europe declared Polio-Free; Rotary expands further into Muslim
countries
Europe
is declared polio-free at the RI Convention in Barcelona, Spain. By the end of
the year, only seven countries remain polio endemic. As clubs around the world
count down to the Rotary Centennial in 2005, RI zeroes in on the final push to
eradicate polio, with the announcement of an US$80 million campaign to help
fill a $275 million funding gap.
The
first Rotary World Peace Scholarships are awarded for International Studies in
peace and conflict resolution.
There
are 1.2 million Rotarians in 31,314 Rotary clubs spanning 164 countries. After
admitting new clubs from Eastern Europe and Russia in the 1990s, Rotary expands
further to Muslim countries by welcoming new clubs in United Arab Emirates and
East Timor
