As we celebrate 120 years of Rotary service on 23rd February, which is also celebrated as World Understanding and Peace Day, it is a perfect time to reflect on Rotary’s tireless commitment to peace and doing good in our local communities and all around the world. Since being founded by Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905, we’ve almost eradicated polio, we’ve trained peacebuilders, supported education for millions. Every single day our network of 1.4 million changemakers across the globe are transforming lives, bringing people together and making a difference in our communities.
