Dr. Jane Goodall Takes Rotary by Storm
Dr. Goodall addressed over 20,000 Rotarians from nearly 120 countries during a keynote address at the 100th International Rotary Convention in Birmingham, UK June 24, 2009.
Speaking against a backdrop of flags from around the world, Dr. Goodall shared her message that every individual matters and every individual can make a difference each day. She highlighted how similar Rotary and Roteract (Rotary's service program for people aged 18-30) are to her international youth service program, Roots & Shoots.
'That's what Rotarians are all about: recognizing an appeal for help and doing something about it. We need teamwork, we need a network - that’s what you have, that’s what we have,' Dr. Goodall said. 'Let's put the networks together, and together make this a better world. Together, let's create the change we must create if we care, as we do, about our children and grandchildren, and theirs. Together we can help more young people to realize their dreams.'
