Interacting with our correspondent through WhatsApp chat as the world celebrates the Sacrifice Our Wants For Others Needs Sunday, which comes up on every last Sunday of August, Rotarian Udeji (Nwa Ghana) encouraged Nigerians to let their desires come second on this day and strive to give a little something to somebody else.
He further tasked Nigerians to volunteer their treasure, time and talent to serve humanity and also support the commitment and unrelenting selfless service of Rotary Club by joining the Rotary International.
He said that Rotary International has continued to demonstrate its love for humanity by promoting acquaintanceship, fellowship, and goodwill among the communities, business and professional members.
Udeji, who assured that the Rotary Club of Umuahia North would continue to provide selfless services to humanity and vulnerable people in the Communities within its domain, said that Rotary International was committed to providing for the less privileged in the society and as such the Club under his watch would not relent in making positive impacts in the lives of the unreached.
“For once, it’s all about others, Sacrifice Our Wants For Others Needs Sunday is the occasion to choose to do something for someone in need rather than focusing on our own desires”, Rotarian Udeji further observed.
He said that Rotary club’s effort of service above self has set the club apart from other non-governmental organizations and has also planted the club on the world map.
According to the available records, Sacrifice Our Wants For Others Needs Sunday, is celebrated on the last Sunday in August (since 1988). It falls within the Be Kind to Humankind Week, created in 1988 to encourage people to make the world a better place. The occurrence takes place on August 25th.
