Soroptimist International is an NGO working towards better standards and
upliftment of women and children. Works towards welfare of destitutes,
underprivileged and disabled people. It is a global voice for women.
Issues like sanitation, poverty, providing good education,rehabilitation,
training,health ,hygiene and safe environment for all are of primary concern.
All of us here are united by like-mindedness to work together for human
rights, equality, development and peace.
Soroptimist in Latin means “best for women” . There are at present 90,000
members in more than 3000 clubs in 124 countries.
It is into official relation with UNESCO and WHO
First club was found in 1921 in California USA. Soroptimist International of
Bangalore was founded by Dr. Nalini Subbaiah on February 16th 2003.
Ever since the club was initiated, a lot of good work has been carried out
in the past by the members and the committee. Some of the outstanding
achievements in the recent past have been the Lambani village project,
drug abuse awareness among school children, immunization programme,
creating website, fistful of rice programme, “stars of tomorrow”, painting
competition are to name a few most commendable and successfully
implemented.
Some of us have been very active in pursuing project ideas, planning and
execution while a few others including myself have been laggards at project
implementation. Not all five fingers are the same size and so are our efforts.
Big or small, we are here to do our best We can and we will.
Transparency of details and adhering to proper norms in the working of
the organization will provide efficacy, productivity and cohesiveness in the
group.
Like the old saying, United, we win, Divided, we fall.
With regard to party politics and controversy Soroptimist International
maintains a position of strict neutrality.
We will work like our favouite cricket team, be a sport wherein each one
does her bit .Teamwork, dedication, sincerity, commitment will take us
places as it has done so far.
Here is a small forward on my email and I wish to share it with you.
I believe
That just because two people argue
It does’nt mean they don’t love each other
And just because they don’t argue
It does’nt mean they do love each other.
I believe
No matter how good a friend is
They are going to hurt you every once in a while
And you must forgive him for that.
I believe
That you can keep going long after you think you can’t
I believe
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done regardless of the consequences
Each one of us has a hero within us.
Our background and circumstances may have influenced us but we are responsible for
who we become and what we do.
Together we can achieve the impossible.
Rema has briefed us about the noteworthy projects so far. The same enthusiasm will
prevail in pursuing and completing project tasks.
To find better alternatives to save and conserve electricity by promoting solar
lights, cookers
Make e-newsletter a reality
Spread Aids awareness among young adults.
Incidence of suicide occuarence is one a day in local hospitals. Young married
couples, adjustment problems, emotional instability- trigger factors. Organising
counseling and pre-marital counseling programmes.
Create awareness on child sexual abuse.
Myraada Satellite Centre- Resume demos and talks targeting urban-rural areas.
Topics being Vegetable carving and candle making,artificial flower making.
Illicit trafficking and drug abuse awareness programme at Bishop Cotton Boys
School.
Dr. Nandini Mundkur’s initiative to identify and manage children with autism.
Find organizations which are in need of old clothes, vessels, toys and donate.
Support meritorious poor high school students and assure financial aid upto their
professional career.
-
-
Promote organic- eco-friendly products and promote village artisans.
Identify resource persons to teach making of artificial flowers, paper bags,
greetings, envelopes and so on.
-
-
The proficient stalwarts in the club are the strength and pillar of support to the
organization. It is because of them that we are what we are today.
Each one of us have been designated a defined post in the committee or sub-committee
and the best part is, it comes with a sense of responsibility . .
In continuing the tempo and momentum it is up to all of to act and the time is now. This
is not the end but the beginning……….
Thank you
