NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE FROM ROSE CHARITIES INTERNATIONAL CHAIR
=================================
My dear fellow members and volunteers of Rose Charities Chapters Worldwide
WITH the year 2012 fast drawing to a close, WE hope you have achieved most of what you
Set out to do this year . Let’s just draw a veil over it and look forward to a new minted year
With opportunities for fresh hopes, innovative ideas,renewal, regeneration and challenges
Ahead.
I am confident opportunities for voluntary service will be in abundance beyond the door
Of tomorrow and we must be steadfast,therefore, in our commitment to answer these needs.
SO, let us use that key to turn the lock of the door and enable us to witness how the “ PEOPLE
HELPING PEOPLE’ imperative can best become an integral part of the organisation’s future .
Mahatma Gandhi once said : Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of
Drudgery and triumph; a beginning , a struggle and a victory “.
IN order for ROSE CHARITIES to conduct relevant projects and activities and to strive for more
Far reaching horizons of humanitarian service , it will be imperative that we strengthen our
Capacity to meet these ambitious goals. Membership and organizational growth is, consequently,
Essential if we are to achieve optimium success in meeting future human needs, and strive
Confidently to accept still greater challenges on behalf of mankind .
OUR potential is unlimited.WE need to recognize all that we can accomplish once we
Commit our hearts and minds to achieving the potential of ROSE CHARITIES INTERNATIONAL
As we enter the 21st Century and move towards the World of Social Networking .
OVER the last 15 years , we have accumulated an impressive and impeccable track record
Of achievements – developing various large scale projects and activities –stretching from
Asia Pacific countries, to Africa and less developed third world nations with Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, USA and England as sponsoring countries.
In this 16th Anniversary year we wanted to honour and recognize the distinguished and outstanding
Leadership, dedication , commitment and contributions made by these very special pioneering
And yet never ask for anything in return.
This significant and auspicious occasion will be a fitting moment for reflection and renewal as it
Marks the 16th Anniversary of the International NGO organization .
We would like to salute and applaud the overwhelming generous donations and contributions
By various multi -national corporate sponsors, Hillman Foundatiion,
Companies, organizations, government agencies,public bodies and others for constantly
Looking outward and extending a helping hand to Society’s less fortunate regardless of race,
Creed,religion and social standing .
OUR unique international voluntary organization is only as good as the people and the multi-
task talents it has. ROSE CHARITIES have expanded and extended “ HANDS OF FRIENDSHIP’
and HOPE across borders and countries worldwide to join with other ROSE CHARITIES
Chapters and Partners in implementing truly innovative ways to promote ,build, and help to
Educate people whose languages ,cultures , customs, and politics may differ, where goodwill,
Racial harmony ,trust and mutual respect form the standards of civilized conduct and practices.]
ROSE CHARITIES is passionate about her work because she believes its about making a Big
Difference ,and about creating win-win situations . NO goal is too high if you climb with care and
Confidence . The greatest reward for doing anything is the chance to do more for the less
Fortunate ,the poor , the disabled and the needy .
Loretta Scott once said : “ WE CANNOT HELP EVERYONE…BUT EVERYONE CAN HELP
SOMEONE “ .
OUR accomplishments in meeting community needs; our myriad successes in reaching the
Less fortunate around the world to give sustenance, shelter , medical benefits and facilities,
Educational learning assistance to others and our EYECARE and SIGHT amenities , for those
Poor children and the elderly, for still greater involvement in humanitarian service , provides
Ample reason for each of us to take pride in our work and its membership .
To all our fellow members , volunteers ,helpers , well wishers, supporters and Friends of
ROSE CHARITIES , your team spirits ,dedication inspiration, and efforts were highly
Outstanding and very much appreciated.
Your support was heart- warming and wonderful right from the start . We just can’t help
To express our gratitude and sincere appreciation and sending this “ THANKS “ MESSAGE
From the heart .
The journey is long and winding . But if we run it together . we can achieve it .
WE would like to urge you to boldly respond to reforms and aspirations of today to keep
The organization fresh,fit and relevant for the future .
John Wooden once said : “ DON’T LET WHAT YOU CAN’T DO STOP YOU FROM WHAT
YOU CAN DO ‘.
MAY I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY IN WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY – HAPPY NEW
YEAR 2013- and Share the joy with those closest to us .
