Understanding

"The
advancement of International Understanding, goodwill and peace

united in the idea of service"
**
Fourth Statement of the object of Rotary ** |
|
|
Advancing world
understanding and peace, which is expressed in the fourth part of
the Object of Rotary, is an important focus of Rotarian service. It
is the impetus for numerous service efforts and other cooperative
ventures among Rotarians from different parts of the world. It is
the reason Rotary International has a long-standing, close
collaboration with the United Nations and many of its member
agencies. Appropriately, every year the anniversary of the founding
of Rotary, 23 February, is celebrated as World Understanding and
Peace Day.
Rotary Clubs in Singapore will mark this day with an Intercity
Meeting to be held on:
