I, along with my spouse Sarojani, would like to congratulate District  Governor Rajendra Prasad Dhoju, First Lady Samira Shrestha Dhoju,  entire District Team and all club Presidents of RY 2023-24. Our best  wishes for your successful tenure. We would also like to congratulate Immediate Past District Governor  Jitendra Bahadur Rajbhandary and his team for successfully completing their tenure in RY 2022-23.  Our RI President Gordon R.  McInally has given us a wonderful theme “Create Hope in the World”.  In a world that often seems fragmented and divided, let us rise above the noise and embrace the  timeless values of “Service above self” and through this selfless service “Create hope in the World.” These guiding principles can serve as beacons of light, igniting positive change and transforming our communities into beacons of hope. Service above self is not merely a mantra; it is a way of life. It calls us to set aside our own interests  and dedicate ourselves to the betterment of others. It reminds us that true fulfillment lies in selflessly extending a helping hand to those in need. Whether it’s volunteering our time, sharing our skills, or lending a compassionate ear, each act of service has the power to heal wounds, restore faith, and create lasting impact. Let us embody this spirit of service and become catalysts for positive change. As we engage in acts of service, we simultaneously create hope. Hope is the lifeline that sustains  humanity, breathing life into dreams and aspirations. When we act with kindness, empathy, and love, we become architects of hope, crafting a world where despair is replaced by optimism, and where unity triumphs over division. Our collective efforts, no matter how small, can spark a ripple effect of hope that spreads far and wide, touching the lives of countless individuals. Together, let us rekindle the flame of hope in our hearts and in the world around us. Let us strive to  create a future where every person, regardless of their circumstances, can envision a brighter tomorrow. May our actions speak louder than words, inspiring others to join us on this noble journey of Service and Hope. In this world that yearns for compassion and positivity, let us be the change we wish to see. Together, through service above self and the creation of hope, we can turn the tide and build a better, more  inclusive world for generations to come.
