Hanif Khan said that many hopes are attached to Nexus Club, and it will do an exemplary job this year. Nexus and other clubs that complete the project should be visible. Rotary objectives can be fulfilled only if we make people aware of the positive things.
He added there is no such organization in the world that has more than 40 thousand clubs, our focus is on smart villages in flood-affected areas, building houses, establishing peace, and empowering women. If every Rotarian gives 100 dollars to the foundation, it can become a donor club, we want to give membership to good people, but increasing the number is not our goal.
Further said that the projects were started by the IPP Syed Khurram Anis, I hope that the new President Dr. Khalid Hussain Shaikh will complete them. We have established a new secretariat for the first time in the history of Sindh and Balochistan where Rotarians from both provinces can hold meetings and seminars.
Muhammad Ali Haider said that we have started 4 works in the current year, we have taken a school in the jail which will be started soon. Teachers of government schools will be trained, under the MoU signed with the Sindh Education Foundation in Karachi, a school has been adopted in the Central Jail, in which free education will be provided to children. The training of school teachers in government schools will be started in a phased manner. The teaching of elementary school children will be started soon in the seminary located in Noori Masjid Madrasah Clifton and the medical camp will be organized every month.
Further said that Nexus Club has established a position image in a very short time, our focus has been on public welfare projects, medical campuses have been set up in flood-affected areas and other areas, vocational and teacher training programs have been started under Public Private Partnership, apart from this we have awarded membership to persons of good repute.
New President Dr. Khalid Hussain Shaikh said that our effort will be to serve as many people as possible, we are trying to show a good position in public.
He added establishing a medical camp for the health of mothers and children is included in the priorities, in light of the instructions of District Governor Hanif Khan, they will not only complete the ongoing projects but also start new projects by forming a new team.
Further said that Nexus is a very important club, this club has received many awards. It is our mission to work to the grass root. Past presidents and secretaries have done good work and improved the image of the club, whoever does good will be appreciated.
Muhammad Rizwan Adhia said that the success that Nexus Club has achieved in such a short period is rare. He said that a smart village of 200 houses has been established in Tando Allahyar for the Hindu community. Our target is to build 30 smart villages, we are willing to complete the project in collaboration with other institutions including flood welfare.
IPP Syed Khurram Anis said that this is a very important event today. He said that according to the instructions of Rotary International, the work has started in health, education, employment, construction, and other sectors. Expecting this to continue, projects in the pipeline can be completed to prove Rotary’s recognition of service work.
