0:00 This is for the ones who won’t look
0:01 away. The grandmother who sees a child
0:04 burned from falling into a smoky cooking
0:07 fire and decides to protect every mother
0:10 and child from that fate.
0:12 Who finds a child reading words
0:15 scratched in dirt and decides that’s the
0:18 last time any kid goes without books.
0:21 Who survived polio’s prison.
0:24 Now the one placing drops of freedom on
0:27 tiny tongues, breaking that chain of
0:30 disease.
0:32 Who looks into a grandmother’s stolen
0:34 sight and gives her granddaughter’s face
0:37 back.
0:39 Who walks behind a child to poisoned
0:41 water and builds wells where now clean
0:45 water flows.
0:47 who holds a father drowning in grief and
0:51 develops a network of village health
0:53 workers that saves the next child and
0:57 the next and the next.
1:01 One Rotarian,
1:03 one burning idea,
1:06 1.4 million hearts beating as one.
1:11 When you put engineer next to
1:13 grandmother, survivor next to scientist,
1:17 dreamer next to doer,
1:19 magic isn’t magic anymore.
1:22 It’s Tuesday.
1:24 Half a million people breathing clean
1:26 air. That’s what we do. Libraries rising
1:30 from nothing. Tuesday. One bed net
1:34 becoming an army of health workers.
1:37 Another Tuesday.
1:39 You are part of something
1:42 122 years in the making. The proof that
1:45 ordinary people with extraordinary
1:48 dedication can bend the future.
1:52 That when you refuse to quit, quitting
1:56 becomes impossible.
1:58 Rotary. We don’t just hope for a better
2:02 world. We build it every single day.
