Dear Rotarians and Family of Rotary,
Aloha my family of Rotary,
I am very pleased to welcome you to Honolulu for
the Rotary Global Peace Forum: The Green Path to
Peace. Over the next three days, we will explore
the importance of conserving and protecting
our resources and how we can encourage young
adults to take a global perspective and become
catalysts for peace.
First, my sincere wishes to you for a time of great
happiness and joy during this second Rotary
Global Peace Forum in the beautiful Islands of
Hawai’i. Honolulu is a remarkable place to be and
surely you will enjoy everything during your days
here.
I’d also like to extend a special welcome to those
representatives of Rotary’s New Generations
programs and our program alumni who are with
us here. We recognize the future of Rotary and of the world around us rests
in the hands of today’s young people. Our world has become much smaller
through the advances of communication technologies and no group is more
aware of or attuned to this than the youth of today.
This makes the imperative for peace more urgent than ever before. As we
look at the world of tomorrow, we are challenged to work today for the
protection of our environment, care of our limited natural resources and the
empowerment of our young people to carry forward a new and powerful
commitment to peace. This challenge is the focus for this peace forum.
We are not here by chance. When President Sakuji
Tanaka asked me to convene these forums, he
had a clear goal in mind: Three iconic cities in
human history should be the settings for these
unforgettable meetings.
I remember that moment like it was yesterday. He said, “It would be
pleasing to hold them in Berlin, Honolulu, and Hiroshima.” My response was
immediate. “Mr. President, I agree with you, but at the same time, you and
I know very well that we must look to the future.” And his answer was very
simple: “I also agree with you, but we must build Peace Through Service and
not through history.” In that moment I fully understood the theme he had
chosen.
Best regards,
So we are here “to build peace in the minds of men and women,” as the
UNESCO declaration states, to develop a peace process that is consistent,
strong, and deeply rooted in our organization. Our responsibility is to build
a global understanding, to become workers for and custodians of peace in
every corner of the world. As Indira Gandhi said, “With a closed fist we can’t
exchange a handshake.”
Sakuji Tanaka
My sincere thanks to all Rotarians from District 5000 and its members who
have worked so hard to make this meeting a memorable one for us.
Enjoy your time together and your time in Honolulu. Through presentations,
workshops and group discussions, I anticipate we will take away new ideas
for ways to engage youth and work for Peace through Service.
Rotary International President, 2012-13
Enjoy it and be in peace!
With all my affection,
Luis Vicente Giay
