Asalam o Alakium
The DML serves the dual purpose of being a source of information
& a source of motivation as well for the Rotaract family. Making this
DML was a great experience. The projects by the clubs all across the
district gave me hope in our youth and its leadership skills.
I will end with a quote by John Bunyan which is fitting with the spirit of our organization; “You
have not lived today, until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you
back”.
Yours in Rotaract

Asalam o Alakium
Congratulations on having successful New Generation Month,
we had installation of three new Rotaract clubs this month. We
had a New Generation seminar where Rtr Saba Taj tells about
her RYLA USA experience. DGN Rtn Mir Arif Announced the
RYLA Lahore on 8th
to 10th
January 2005.
We had one of the worst floods in Punjab this month; I would like to appreciate the efforts of
Rotaract clubs that worked for the rehabilitation of the flood affected areas. I also urge all clubs to
participate and contribute in this regard and help the flood affected people.
Yours in Rotaract

September 2014
One of the great privileges of being president of Rotary International is having the chance to visit so many parts of the Rotary world. Usually I travel to participate in Rotary events; speak at
Rotary clubs, conferences, and institutes; and encourage Rotarians in their service. But as president, I am responsible for all branches of the Rotary family. This means that it is also my privilege to support the service of Rotary's youngest generations: our Rotaractors, Interactors,
Rotary Youth Exchange students, and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards participants.
When I see the work Rotarians do, I am always impressed, always excited, and always inspired.
When I see the work of our New Generations, I am all of this – and frequently I am surprised as well. Not by the quality of their work – for I have learned to expect great things from them – but by the creativity and ingenuity of their thinking. I look at what they have done and think not just
"What a great job!" but "What a great idea!" Because every generation sees the world in a unique way, and every individual has a unique point of view. Faced with the same problems, we arrive
at different solutions. This is why, in Rotary, our diversity – of culture, language, expertise, gender, and age – is our strength.
In Rotary, we try to take the long view in our service. We aspire to serve in ways that will make
a lasting difference, that will continue to have an impact after our participation ends. Our younger generations, in my experience, share this sentiment, and apply it globally, by focusing
on environmental issues in new and innovative ways. When I became a Rotarian, environmental issues were barely on our radar. To young people today, these concerns are front and center. Their perspective is a valuable contribution to the world of Rotary service, and it is one that we
should all encourage and support. Just as they are learning from us, so should we be learning from them.
The young people who are serving in Rotaract and Interact, and participating in Youth Exchange and RYLA today, are the Rotarians of tomorrow. When we support them, we are supporting the future of our entire organization. We are helping to train the men and women who will be the
club presidents, district governors, RI directors, and RI presidents of tomorrow.

RAC Chiniot
Flood Relief
Campaign
In the situation of worst
scaled calamity that has hit
our country especially the
areas of Punjab. Rotaract
Club of Chiniot took an
initiative to reach out the
victims and provide them
with any and all immediate
relief possible. The floods
ruined many villages of
Punjab but its magnitude
was high in Chiniot and
Jhang. We decided to send
relief goods in the required
quantity to the affected
areas which have been
temporarily cut off because
of land transportation
being hindered. However,
in such a time all the
Rotaractors and group
members provided us with
the assistance that we
never initially anticipated.
The flood relief campaign
in Chiniot began with
initial site surveys in
collaboration with District
team. RAC Chiniot
members visited the
affected areas and selected
those where government
and other organizations
failed to reach. Locations
in Tehsil Chiniot were
identified and an analysis
of necessary relief items
was conducted. We
selected three villages
namely Jamia Abad,
Muhamadi Sharif and
Dharota Kharna. Here,
more than 400 families
were affected. RAC
Chiniot distributed Rashan
Bags with the help of other
organizations. District
Government also
encouraged us and MNA
Qaiser Ahmad Sheikh gave
us a task to point out the
areas for rehabilitation of
ruined houses. They
showed his full confidence
in the members of RAC
Chiniot. We also put up a
medical camp in the
affected areas. This
campaign is still going on.
Celebration of World
Peace Day
RAC Chiniot celebrated
World Peace Day on club

RAC Lahore FCC
Forman Aspiring
Leader’s Conference
FALCON
The FCC MUN Society
hosted the Forman
Aspiring Leaders‟
Conference (FALCON),
on from 4 to 6 September
2014. After months of
planning and preparations
and a postponement, this
event finally took place as
the first event of the 2014-
2015 council.
Members of the Rotaract
Club of FCC were part of
its Socials and Creative
Team. The president of the
Rotaract Club was the
Director Socials and
Creative and led the team
wonderfully in very
challenging and exigent
circumstances.
Preparations were made
prior to the event after
collaborated efforts of the
entire team. The team
worked tirelessly for hours
in tough weather
conditions. Coincidentally,
the event dates fell on the
same dates as the torrential
downpours in Lahore.
Hence, the host team faced
many obstacles. However,
the first day of the event
started off reasonably well.
The Registration team
registered incoming
delegates promptly. The
Opening Ceremony took
place in Sinclair Hall
where the delegates were
welcomed, and the chairs,
the Executive Council, and
the host team directors
were introduced. After a
break, the introductory
committee sessions started.
Overall, it was a successful
first day, despite the
unpredictable weather..
The second day, the heavy
rains prevailed, but so did
the host team and
delegates. The Committee
sessions were very
productive and delegates
had rousing debates
throughout the day. Later,
the socials team showed
what they had in store for
everyone, a night full of
fun and exuberance. After
the sessions were finished,
DJ night and flash mob
provided an entertainment
outlet for everyone present
to relax and have a great
time.
On the third day, all of the
committees were active in
their sessions. Draft
resolutions were created
promptly and true
diplomacy was shown in
the sessions. During the
day, a Masters session took
place, where the chairs and
senior MUNers
participated in debate
themselves to demonstrate
the art of MUN
participation.
After the sessions had
ended the socials team
welcomed everyone to the
closing ceremony and
results announcement took
place. The evening was
themed around the Oscar
Awards which gave
everyone an opportunity to
dress up.
Club Reports
The Best Delegates,
Honorable Mentions and
the Outstanding
Diplomacy awards were
handed out.
The committees and host
team worked hard to make
it a successful and unique
event.
CSS Guest Speaker
Session.
Rotaract Club of Forman
Christian made inordinate
efforts to arrange an
informative and interactive
session at FCCU on Civil
Superior Services of
Pakistan.
On 15th September the
management of Rotaract
Club of FCC invited over a
proud Ravian. A person
who has achieved roll of
honor in co-curricular
activities and has always
excelled at parliamentary
debates at various national
levels. He, who scored
seventeenth position
nationwide in this year‟s
CSS examination, was Sir
Zulqarnain Chheena.
The event was organized in
the auditorium of Elahi
block of FCC. A large
number of people had
gathered at the venue
before the event had even
begun. This crowd had
humongous fervor and
their high spirits were very
evident by no vacant seats
in the auditorium. The
floor of the auditorium and
even the stage was full of
students, all just waiting
for the distinguished guest.
The Rotaractors of FCC
warmly welcomed the
guest. The event
commenced with the
recitation of the Holy
Quran after which the host
introduced Sir Zulqarnain
Cheena to the audience by
mentioning all of his
achievements and
credentials.
He began his lecture by
greeting the audience. He
felt motivated by seeing
the Formanites so
enthusiastic. He said that
for CSS both preparation
and passion are necessary,
there needs to be a balance
among them. He
expounded that one should
never be overwhelmed by
this examination, it‟s just a
test. Though sometimes it
is too much to cope up
with but one needs to have
that focus, strength,
patience and determination
to keep on going.
He advised everyone that
they shouldn‟t bit off more
than they can chew. The
aim of an assessment like
CSS is to find „Problem
Solvers.‟ The most
important attribute that
such people need to have is
„Clarity of Thought‟ for
both the assessment and its
practical application as
well.
He emphasized on the
verity of such a lengthy
and daunting examination
to test the mental and
physical endurance of a
person. It questions how a
person works under the
domino effect of such
stress and burden using
one‟s administrative and
management skills.
Selection of subjects for
CSS is crucial for which
one has to be very tactical
and adaptive.
Club Reports
He clarified the
misconceptions people had
about the CSS examination
in the question and answer
session.
He accentuated that
there‟re no universal laws
when it comes to the
selection of subjects and
preparation of CSS. He
stressed that interpretation
matters. One has to
approach things with the
aim of learning and
retaining it. For
controversial subjects like
Islamiyat and Political
Science one shouldn‟t be
opinionated or biased.
Students had a lot of
questions to ask but due to
the shortage of time, he
had to end the lecture. He
left after thanking the
management of Rotaract
Club of FCC and wishing
them well.
Fawad Hussain’s
Speaker Session
Chaudhary Fawad
Hussain, a renowned
analyst and lawyer was
welcomed to Forman
Christian College by its
Rotaract Club on 1st
October.
He was asked to shed some
light on the topic, “What
we have achieved as a
nation from 1947 till now.”
He initiated his lecture
with a question, “Is the
journey of Pakistan of 67
years, all in vain?”
throughout the lecture he
was very optimistic about
Pakistan and its future
explaining that emergence
of a Muslim state like
Pakistan was an unusual
turn of events for the
world. Our country came
into existence in an un-
natural state having no
proper basic infrastructure.
Pakistan had no definitive
bureaucracy or
administration.
He enlightened the minds
of the students with facts
about Pakistan. He
mentioned that Pakistan
started off with only about
ninety five officers in its
civil services. He pointed
out the fact that after
Jinnah‟s tragic demise
Pakistan and its nation lost
not only their leader but
also the direction. All of
these events ultimately led
to the emergence of middle
class.
Trying to urge a patriotic
spirit in the students he
tried portraying the picture
of a stable and unwavering
Pakistan. He admitted that
right now the odds are
against us but we need to
beat the odds in order to
succeed and excel.
He very briefly
summarized all the socio
economic issues, the
political instability, flaws
of democracy and
administrative glitches.
Club Reports
A lot of wise and rationale
questions were asked by
the students to which the
guest catered very well. He
was sensible to tackle all
the interrogations and
queries without showing
any politically bias in order
to maintain the decorum
and spirit of this interactive
lecture.
Throughout his lecture he
was tremendously
collaborative. He even
joked and mocked from
time to time. He thanked
Formanites for their active
partaking.
Afterwards he shared
snacks and some
refreshments with the
management of Rotaract
Club of FCC and left after
giving his warm and
heartiest best wishes to
everyone.

Medical Camp in
Kukmong
The Rotaract Club of

medical camp in Patthar
Gali, Village Kukmong on
28th September 2014. The
project happened with the
collaboration between
Rotaract Club, Shimla
Welfare Organization and
Shafaida Feroze Welfare
Organization. The aim of
organizing this event was
to extend medical aid and
advice to the peripheral
areas that are not equipped
with reliable medical
facilities.
The team of people
visiting the area included
TMOs, House Officers and
students of Ayub Medical
College, Abbottabad along
with a considerable
number of Rotaract
members from the
community. The
destination was reached at
around 11 am, and the
camp was set into motion
about half an hour later.
The Middle School of
Kukmong provided the
venue for holding the
event. OPDs of various
specialties were set up,
which included Medicine,
Surgery, Gynecology,
Pediatrics, Eye and
Dentistry. A huge number
of the local population
thronged to get a free
medical check-up,
presenting with various
complaints. The patients
were forwarded to a
specific OPD by the filter
OPD. They were then not
only given apt advice and
prescriptions, but were also
provided with medicine –
at a fixed rate of 10 rupees.
The medicines brought
along were antibiotics,
proton pump inhibitors,
multi-vitamins, analgesics,
anti-pyretic, anti-
inflammatory, anti-
diabetics – and gave polio
Club Reports
drops to kids under five
years under the Rotary
banner END POLIO NOW
along with a number of
other medications.
The maximum number of
patients presented general
medical complaints; hence
the Medical OPD saw the
most traffic. The most
common complaints of the
patients came out to be
generalized weakness,
body pains and stomach
ache. The patients who
came with complex
complaints, or demanded
investigative/advanced
facilities like ultrasound
scan or specific tests were
referred to a tertiary care
hospital accordingly.
The medical camp kept
serving the patients for
almost five hours,
afterwards the team
decided to call it a day
when the patients had all
been served and dealt with.
More than 350 patients
were served via this camp,
the record of whom is
available.
The local population was
extremely grateful to the
visiting team for holding
this camp in their area and
thus serving these people.
The team left the place

Orientation and
Information Desk
(Club Promotion)
For the first year students
on their first day Rotaract
Club of UET Peshawar
arranged an information
desk to guide new comer
students, Rotaractors
helped them providing
their schedules and
information. In this way
we promoted our club in
the university and new
comers were impressed by
seeing that Rotaract is the
only welfare club in UET.
Stall for Fund
Raising
A funfair was organized by
UETians in Peshawar. As
Rotaractors of UET
Peshawar are students,
Club Reports
they do not have too much
money to initiate welfare
projects. Our club
members arranged a stall
and entertained organizers
by different games and
promoted Rotaract Club of
UET Peshawar in yhis
grand funfair. Besides that
they painted their faces
with “END POLIO
NOW” and promoted
awareness about polio.
Clothes packing and
collection
A new project was initiated
in which we collected
those clothes which every
person uses rarely. All the
clothes were almost new.
After collecting the clothes
they were taken for dry
cleaning and were later
packed in proper packing.
After collection and
packing these clothes were
distributed in class four
servants of UET and they
were very happy as they
did not feel it necessary to
buy new clothes for Eid.
The remaining clothes
were taken to Jalozia
Refugees Camp but there
were more than 9000
people living in that camp
and we could not distribute
because we had clothes in
hundreds and they were in
thousands and at last we
had to give them to
administration to distribute
among the most deserving
people. We are also
planning a medical camp
for those deserving people
for which we need District
help.
