I would like to start off by thanking the R.I Rotaract
Institute organising Committee for a job well done in
the recently concluded Seminar. The planning was
definitely strenuous but the fruits of it were the happy faces
of more than 150 Rotaractors and Interactors who came.
I was impressed that the various Interactors who came in
for the Seminar were eager to learn about the workings of
Interact, Rotaract and Rotary. This was evident in their
coming early and the questions they asked. I must thank
the Rotaractors present for making them feel comfortable
enough as the sessions were progressing.
My take on this is that there is hope in our working with
the Interactors…

VOCATIONAL SERVICE 5
ISSUE 4 OCTOBER 2007
I
would like to start off by thanking the R.I Rotaract
Institute organising Committee for a job well done in
the recently concluded Seminar. The planning was
definitely strenuous but the fruits of it were the happy faces
of more than 150 Rotaractors and Interactors who came.
I was impressed that the various Interactors who came in
for the Seminar were eager to learn about the workings of
Interact, Rotaract and Rotary. This was evident in their
coming early and the questions they asked. I must thank
the Rotaractors present for making them feel comfortable
enough as the sessions were progressing.
My take on this is that there is hope in our working with
the Interactors…
When R.I President Wilf came to talk to us, he reminded
us that there are more Interact Clubs than there are
Rotaract Clubs in the world. The interactive session was
well received and I saw many participants attentive and
some with challenging questions and remarks… It was
an honour to be with you all at the Seminar.
October is Vocation Month. This is the time when we
engage our Professionals at club level to seek an
understanding of each one’s vocation. There are various
ways to effectively serve during this month. For example
your Club is encouraged to hold a forum on ethics and
the application of The Four-Way Test in Professional life.
You could invite a speaker or hold debates on given grey
areas of the 4-Way test in practise. You can also present
a copy of the 4-Way Test to all new members. For institution
based Rotaract Clubs, you can approach Rotarians to take
you to their place of work/business and spend a day with
them to learn about their profession. There are many other
ways of celebrating Vocational service month and I leave
these to your creativity.
The World Interact Week 28th
October-3rd
November is
also an opportunity for you to strengthen your bonds with
the Interact Club that your Mother Club is mentoring. Plan
a fun event with them, visit them in their schools and offer
talks on your vocations but most importantly seek to
befriend them.
Having gone through the 1st
Quarter, I would request
your Club to evaluate the goals you set out to achieve as
per your Work plan and how effective your approaches to
accomplishing them have been. The Rotaract District
Secretary will be receiving the 1st
Quarter reports from
yourADRRs and Club Presidents and these will be ranked
so that we can start identifying the Best performing Clubs
for emulation. These rankings will also identify weaknesses
in Club reporting and Recognise worthy efforts with a view
to empower you and your club with possible solutions and
alternatives to apply in the coming Quarter.
I conclude with an anecdotal illustration just to jog your
minds as you take on the Vocational service month… I
will hand a bar of chocolate to the first person who gets
the answer to this… You just need to find me-in the most
creative way possible- and give your answer….. Who was
the most famous Deaf prophet in the Bible..?

Background: Shortly after achieving independence from Britain in the early 1960s, Tanganyika and
Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first
democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar’s semi-autonomous status and popular
opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international
observers’ claims of voting irregularities.
Border countries: Burundi (451 km), Democratic Republic of the Congo (459 km), Kenya (769 km), Malawi
(475 km), Mozambique (756 km), Rwanda (217 km), Uganda (396 km), Zambia (338 km)
Natural resources: hydropower, tin, phosphates, iron ore, coal, diamonds, gemstones, gold, natural gas,
nickel
The flag of Tanzania was officially adopted on June 30,
1964.
The green and black, representing the land and people
of Tanzania, were taken from the original Tanganyikan
flag. The blue, symbolizing the sea, was borrowed from
the Zanzibar flag.
Did you know?
1. That Dodoma will soon be the new capital of Tanzania.

3. That Tanzania is bordered by three of the largest lakes on the continent: Lake Victoria (the world’s second-
largest freshwater lake) in the north, Lake Tanganyika (the world’s second deepest) in the west, and Lake
Nyasa in the southwest.
4. That although the language of Kiswahili, the mother tongue of the Bantu people in Zanzibar and nearby
coastal Tanzania, is Bantu in structure and origin, its vocabulary draws on a variety of sources including
Arabic and English.
5. That in Tanzania, military service is compulsory at 18 years of age upon graduation from secondary
school, for a period of two years.
6. That Tanzania hosts more refugees than any other African country.

Vocational Service focuses on:
• Adherence to, and promotion of, the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including
fair treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.
• The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just your own or those that
are pursued by Rotarians.
• The contribution of your vocational talents to solving the problems of society and meeting
the needs of the community.
Discussions among clubs and districts on Vocational Service can lead to projects that not only develop the ethical
consciousness and vocational skills of Rotarians but also the talents within their communities. Vocational Service
month is an opportunity to begin year-long Vocational Service activities, ranging from Rotary discussions to awards
to community projects.
• Devote the first meeting in October to examining the second Avenue of Service, including The 4-Way Test and The
Declaration of Rotarians in Business and the Professions. After expanding members’ awareness, solicit their input
in planning projects for the remainder of the year.
• Introduce a “mini-classifications talk” series in which each member gives a five-minute talk on his or her vocation.
• Schedule one speaker for the beginning of each meeting until everyone has made a presentation. The purpose:
promote vocational awareness among Rotarians and help them recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations.
• Present a vocational award to someone in the community who has exemplified outstanding professional
achievement while maintaining very high ethical standards.
• Promote the presentation within the community, and consider making it an annual October event.
• Invite experts to give a presentation on the vocational needs of the community and develop a project in response to
those needs.
Possible projects could focus on developing character, providing career information to youth, mentoring small
businesses, or organizing workshops that provide employees with new skills.

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked,
she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say “Supersex.” She walked up to an
elderly man in a wheelchair.
Flipping her gown at him, she said, “Supersex.” He sat silently for a moment or two
and finally answered, “I’ll take the soup.”
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As
they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on
through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we
just went through a red light.” After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the
light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost
sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting
nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she
turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights
in a row? You could have killed us both!” Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh, crap, am I driving ?”
