“Another global cause that touches the heart is that of childhood cancer. The fight of the young lives against this disease is a sober reminder of life’s fragility and the human spirit’s fortitude. We shall devote considerable efforts in combating and relieving children suffering from cancer by providing medical help, supporting awareness programs, and reaching out for emotional support in their hour of need. We will stand with them and show that they do not stand alone in their fight.
Thirdly, we are going to address one of the basic factors of well-being: vision, providing clear sight devoid of infractions such as cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy are serious issues because our eyes play a crucial role in how we move through the world and enjoy our life. We will indefatigably distribute eyeglasses throughout our district so that everybody, regardless of their economic background, can have their challenges met. By doing so, a whole new world of opportunities becomes opened for education, equal employment opportunities, and eventually an improved quality of life.
In the process of trying to achieve all these lofty aspirations, We must all agree that it is the unity in our organization that can make it possible. As Helen Keller once put it, ”Alone we can be great together we can do much. ” This bit of wisdom will continue to ring true as we press on to the challenges and opportunities before us. Adopt an attitude of teamwork, sharing resources, knowledge, and passion. Having assumed this posture, our impact will surely multiply like apples of positive change extending far beyond our immediate surroundings,” Bello said.
