Caravan of Love 2021 – Spreading Joy at Maana Rescue Home The Caravan of Love Project is a flagship initiative of the Rotary E-Club of Uganda Global focused on bringing joy and support to vulnerable communities during the festive season. Each year, the project distributes essential items, gifts, and services to underprivileged children, families, and institutions, ensuring they feel cared for and included. At Manna Rescue Home in Fort Portal City in December 2021 Bringing Hope and Smiles to Fort Portal In December 2021, the Rotary E-Club of Uganda Global carried its spirit of compassion to Maana Rescue Home in Fort Portal City through the Caravan of Love Project — our club’s signature Christmas outreach. The initiative aimed to share love, kindness, and joy with children in need while providing essential supplies to improve their well-being. It was a moment when Rotarians truly lived the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self. A Home Filled with New PossibilitiesMaana Rescue Home provides shelter, education, and care for born or infected with HIV/AIDS from the villages around the city, offering them a second chance at life. When our team arrived, the children welcomed us with songs and wide smiles — a true reflection of the happiness that comes from being seen, heard, and loved.
What We DidThe 2021 Caravan of Love was filled with heartfelt action and joy: The day ended with laughter, music, and renewed hope — proof that small acts of kindness can make a world of difference. Rotary in ActionAs an E-Club, our members are spread across various countries and time zones — yet through technology and teamwork, we united for a single purpose: to spread love where it’s needed most. The project also strengthened our partnership with local community and their leaders, ensuring that Maana Rescue Home continues to receive ongoing support even after our visit. The Spirit ContinuesThe success of the 2021 Caravan of Love inspired our club to extend this initiative to other communities in subsequent years. Each caravan is a reminder that when we give with love, we build a better world — one heart at a time. Rotary E-Club of Uganda Global Moments That Mattered

Rotary at the Start of the United Nations
During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”

History of Women in RotaryWomen are active participants in Rotary, serving their communities in increasing numbers and serving in leadership positions in Rotary. The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary. “My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world,” said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01. The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings. The response to the decision was overwhelming: By June 1990, the number of female Rotarians had skyrocketed to over 20,000. The number of women members worldwide reached 195,000 in July 2010 (about 16% of Rotarians) and surpassed 277,000 in July 2020 (about 23% ). A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve. We know that our capacity to increase our impact and expand our reach is larger when more people unite with us, which is why we value diversity, equity and inclusion. Rotary celebrates and welcomes the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

An estimated 500 million people worldwide became infected. Many cities closed theaters and cinemas, and placed restrictions on public gatherings. Rotary clubs adjusted their activities while also helping the sick.
Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.
Every hero has an origin story. “I was 10 years old when the entire journey started,” explains Binish Desai. It began with a cartoon called Captain Planet, an animated TV series from the 1990s about an environmentalist with superpowers. Desai can still recite the show’s refrain: Captain Planet, he’s our hero / Gonna take pollution down to zero! “That tagline stuck in my mind,” he says. “I wanted to do something to help Captain Planet.”
In early 1919, Rotarian Roger Pinneo of Seattle, Washington, USA, traveled to the Philippines to try to organize a Rotary club in Manila. Leon J. Lambert, a Manila business leader helped Pinneo establish the club. Several months later, on 1 June 1919, the Rotary Club of Manila was chartered and became the first Rotary club in Asia.
