4, and we know of your dedication to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Rotary&nbsp;including&nbsp;being the Past District Governor. I would like to ask what drives you to be so passionate about giving back?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-royal-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Rotary Foundation is a reputable organization in organizing donation.&nbsp; It is a good platform to assist those who are less fortunate elsewhere in the world via the Rotary community.&nbsp; I think any Rotarian regardless&nbsp;of his\/ her post can help via Rotary Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized coblocks-animate\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2324.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_015.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-624\" width=\"527\" height=\"393\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Question 2: Many&nbsp;people may&nbsp;feel a moral or ethical obligation to help those in need. Or they may have personal experiences that inspire them to give back. What is the driving force for you in your commitment to&nbsp;help people in need?&nbsp;Please also tell us what are&nbsp;recent projects you are involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-royal-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">It is a privilege and a blessing to help.&nbsp; You may start helping others when you are not very well off.&nbsp; If the current financial condition is not ready, one does not have the obligation to help others.&nbsp; All in all one has to look after him\/herself.&nbsp; We need to learn to be smart in&nbsp;giving, i.e. ensure the help I offer is necessary and really goes to those in need.&nbsp; I recently promoted peace via mediation to the community, especially to young people.&nbsp; We work with Interactors to reach out to our young people and hope more young people can have the knowledge, skills and willingness to use mediation to construct a more peaceful community now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized coblocks-animate\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2324.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_016.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-625\" width=\"581\" height=\"387\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Question 3:&nbsp;What impact do you hope your donation will have on society or future generations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-royal-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">I am sure the donation is handled in good hands.&nbsp; I am sure each Rotary project is carefully formulated by Rotarians and is carried out in an efficient manner.&nbsp; I believe Rotarians are very creative and have better ideas than me.&nbsp; I rely on them to help the community.&nbsp; It is encouraging to know our District projects are mostly youth related.&nbsp; Our work empowers them to build a brighter future for the world.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized coblocks-animate\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2324.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image_017.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-626\" width=\"619\" height=\"437\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Question 4:&nbsp;Can you share any messages&nbsp;or&nbsp;stories?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-royal-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Rotarians can make a difference to the world, in a better way in many ways, through action or via donations.&nbsp; The Rotary Foundation is certainly a safe way to contribute.&nbsp; We also have the chance to learn more about the needs of the world through Foundation stories.\u000b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Question 5:&nbsp;What is the most rewarding aspect of being a Rotarian as well as a PDG?&nbsp;How can we spread awareness and encourage&nbsp;each&nbsp;other to contribute more to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Rotary Foundation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-royal-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Rotary offers us knowledge through the speaker program at each club meeting.&nbsp; There are plenty of fellowship opportunities as there are a lot of like-minded people in the Rotary community. As a past district governor, I am particularly impressed by the doors opened and opportunities available via my encounter in Rotary.&nbsp; District governor has the privilege to meet different people, both the needy and the donors.&nbsp; We can certainly link them together and create a good synergy between them, hence doing good to the world.&nbsp; Contributing to the Rotary Foundation allows us to understand more about the needy and increase our interest in knowing how the money is spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2
