The President of Rotary International, Gordon R. McInally is set to embark on a significant four-day journey to Sri Lanka starting on January 23, 2024, marking a momentous occasion for both Rotary International and the lively Sri Lankan community. Rotary International, a globally acclaimed humanitarian organization boasting 35,000 clubs spread across over 220 countries, plays a pivotal role in diverse charitable activities on a global scale. Hailing from the Rotary Club of South Queensferry in Scotland, McInally’s extensive Rotarian journey since 1984 and his various leadership roles within Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland underscore his unwavering commitment to service.
The forthcoming four-day visit aims to fortify bonds and encourage collaboration between Rotary International and the enthusiastic Rotary community in Sri Lanka. President McInally will kick off his visit by addressing the dynamic youth organizations of Interact and Rotaract at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel. Following this, a key moment during President McInally’s visit is the anticipated signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Health, highlighting Rotary International’s dedication to supporting health initiatives in Sri Lanka. The subsequent day will witness a visit to the National Hospital, where Emergency Medical Equipment will be handed over, and support for the Cancer Screening Project will further underscore Rotary’s commitment to addressing critical healthcare needs in the country.
An intercity meeting will facilitate direct interaction between President McInally and Rotarians of District 3220 Sri Lanka and the Maldives, fostering connections and fortifying ties between Rotary International and the Rotary community in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. The highlight of the visit will be a Charity Banquet Dinner scheduled to commence at 6:30 PM at the Shangri-La Colombo, celebrating Rotary’s values and shared commitment to meaningful service.
President McInally’s strategy for increasing membership emphasizes active engagement from Rotary International, regional leaders, and district teams with clubs. His objective is to expand Rotary in both membership and its ability to provide meaningful service through enhanced engagement. Acknowledging Rotary’s adaptability during the COVID-19 pandemic, McInally envisions a future where Rotary continues to grow and increase engagement by integrating technological advancements with proven best practices. For the 2023-24 Rotary year, McInally has chosen the theme, ‘Create Hope in the World,’ focusing on restoring hope to help the world heal from conflicts and achieve lasting change. His visit to Sri Lanka is anticipated to infuse new hope into the country and further solidify the ties between Rotary International and the local community.
