The Power of Giving Back to the Community : View as a Rotaractor

“ If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you’ll end up not doing nothing for nobody.” ~ Malcom Bane

Throughout from childhood to adulthood, the only element that is constant is the community you live in. When you are born, the Doctors and nurses in the Hospital take care of you. During your school your school and college friends and teachers help build your character and when you start working, all your colleagues and friends. No matter where you grew up, it is almost certain that, in some way, the community of friends and family around you contributed positively to your formative years. This is why it is so important to return these favors, and to give back to those around, even in small ways. There are endless ways of contributing to your community, and as the examples below show, giving back doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, a large donation, or a big show of gratitude. In fact, it is often the small things that can make the biggest difference.

It doesn't matter how much you give, but whether you gave. As St. Francis said, "It is in giving that you receive."
