From the Editor’s Pen
The month of February is very special in the Rotary
as the anniversary of the first meeting of the Rotary
founding fathers held on February 23, 1905, now
designated World Understanding and Peace Day… In
that meeting of 4 they may had little idea that the
seed they had sown have such huge harvest of 1.2
million members in over 200 countries and geographi-
cal areas in 110 years. With this global network of
Rotary volunteers the importance of world under-
standing, peace and conflict prevention/resolution
has been increasing with increasing numbers of
internal and external conflicts that destabilises
peace and harmony both in the rich and the poor
societies. These mostly armed conflicts that trigger
from racial/ethnic, religious, cultural, economic and
political factors needs better understanding not only
from the global power players but also from stake-
holders of peace and development like the Rotary.
Recent issues of global warming, environment and
human rights have added to the complexity of
conflict prevention/resolution in the World.
The importance of Peace and Conflict Prevention/
Resolution Month has been amply recognised in the
Rotary’s Areas of Focus. The vast network of
Rotarians in every corner, including belligerent areas,
have been promoting global peace and understanding
often helping in the conflict prevention/resolution
through its multi-dimensional programs and projects
like disease prevention and treatment, water and
sanitation, basic education and literacy and comm.-
unity development. These programs and projects
directly impact the people and society.
Rotary of Club of Dhaka has been involved in Rotary
programs and projects for peace and conflict preven-
tion/resolution for past 79 years. The Club continues
to promote peace and stability in the society in
keeping with Rotary theme “Be a gift to the World”.

RI PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – FEBRUARY 2016
K.R. RAVINDRAN
PRESIDENT 2015-16
In life, sometimes the experiences that matter the most are the briefest. They pass in the blink of an eye: a
few days, a few hours, a few moments. They are the experiences that illuminate the landscape of our
memory, shining brightly even years later. They are the moments in which we see, suddenly, something we
had not seen; we understand something we had not understood; we forge a connection we had not
expected.
For me, this has been a Rotary year like no other. I have been around the world, traversing countries and
continents. I have been to places I had never seen before, and I have returned to familiar places and seen
them, as for the first time, through the lens of Rotary.
When you travel for Rotary, you travel with a different sense of perspective and a different sense of
purpose. There is an awareness of being part of something larger than yourself. When you board a plane or
a train, or leave your home in the dark hours of early morning, you may be leaving for lands unknown – but
at your destination, there will be no strangers. There will be Rotarians, waiting and welcoming. There will be
work to do, something to learn, and perhaps something to teach.
There will be connections to forge, friendships to build, and memories to carry for a lifetime.
This year, I have been the traveler, and I have been welcomed by Rotarians around the world. A few months
from now, from 28 May to 1 June, I invite you to step into my experience: allow me to welcome you to
Seoul for our 107th International Convention.
The Koreans have a saying: 사람이 나면 서울로 보내라. In English we would say, "When a person is born,
send them to Seoul." For Seoul is a city of opportunities: a wonderful destination with rich traditions,
modern conveniences, and a culture unlike any other. But I ask you to join me in Seoul not only for all of
this, but also for the experiences you will have there with your fellow Rotarians.
For a brief moment in time, you will experience Rotary as I have experienced it: in all its diversity, all its
warmth, and all its potential. You will be greeted as an old friend by people you have never met; you will
share your thoughts, even without a shared language. You will learn with wonder of what Rotary has
achieved, and leave inspired to achieve even more.
Before this Rotary year comes to its close, I ask you to do what I have done: to leave your homes, to board
your flights, to travel toward the unknown with an open heart and an open mind, confident that Rotary will
welcome you. Join me, and your fellow Rotarians, as we Connect with Korea – Touch the World.

Total examined: The numbers of people receiving a dental examination/assessment/advice at the
screening desk.Total treated: The numbers of people receiving dental treatment in the dental clinic room.
Fillings: The numbers of fillings provided.
Extractions: The numbers of teeth extracted (pulled out).
AgF: Use of Silver Fluoride, a chemical agent used to halt ("arrest") the progress of decay.
Those people not receiving treatment generally had good oral health, but most required and received oral
hygiene advice which was not recorded in these camps but will be noted in future camps. There were some
cases where the treatment required was beyond the capacity of the dental camp for example people
requesting root canal treatments, people requiring general scaling, orthodontic cases, denture needs, and
pathology referrals. There were also treatment refusals - crying children, and some adults who refused
extraction of teeth which were beyond sarving.
