Rtn. Seksit Limjaroen Rotary Club of Chaing Mai

Super Hero of Rotary

Fellow Rotarians, When you were young, how much did a stick of grilled pork cost? As I remember, it was 20 baht for 7 sticks, but at present a stick of grilled pork costs 20 baht!

Everything is so expensive nowadays, but don’t worry. Even though the cost of living is high, Rotary never lacks kindness. We are ready to encounter the problem together, aren’t we? (Big applause)

Right now, no matter where we turn to, we are faced with higher expenses. It’s a challenging time for us to help those in need. Amidst this worrying situation, I feel that it’s a good opportunity for us, Rotarians all over Thailand, to demonstrate our ability to change the lives of those less privileged so that they will be motivated and inspired to live on with hope.

If we look back to the past, many crises including floods, fires, cold and draught occurred on the Thai soil. However, Rotarians were always there in the background offering help and moral support to the victims of every crisis.

And what can we do in today’s situation? Let’s us think and do for our community so that we can all move forward together. If you are ready, let’s do it.

I’d like to give an example of a simple method which every club can implement without having to use a lot of budget but will bring real benefits to those in need. Do you still remember the “Too Pan Suk” or “Happiness Sharing Cabinet”? It’s similar to a kitchen cabinet but it’s moved from your kitchen to the front of your house, your

Rotary all over Thailand will together implement fruitful service activities, and this will reflect that we truly serve to change people’s lives.

shop, your office or your company. The cabinet is stocked with various foods and drinks necessary for the less privileged to come and take what they need when they really need them for their living.

On the other side, those who have more can help stock the cabinet with foods and drinks as a way to share their happiness with others who have less.

This is only one example from many. You and your club members can find suitable ways to help your community.

Imagine if all Rotary clubs in Thailand implement this “Too Pan Suk” or “Happiness Sharing Cabinet”, we will be able to help our society in every district and province at the same time. It’s considered activities implemented by People of Action in a new way. If it happens, it will be a beautiful picture for Rotary in Thailand which will help create values for Rotary International and the world community.

Fellow Rotarians, in this world there are still a lot of missions for us as a Super Hero of Rotary to do for our society. It’s time for all of us to transform our Service Above Self heart into a real Super Hero for our community, our society and our province. And most important, we will jointly work together for our country to overcome any crisis for the happiness of the Thai community, the world community and Rotary International.
