This year's event, with the theme "Rotary and the United Nations:
The World Is in Your Hands," will feature panel discussions on water,
literacy, health, and youth. Speakers will include senior staff
from UNICEF, the UN Global Compact, the UN Department of Public
Information's Non governmental Organizations Section,
and other groups.

RI President John Kenny and Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair
Glenn E. Estess Sr. will make remarks, and key Rotarians will
highlight model volunteer projects.

"Rotary-UN Day is a wonderful opportunity for Rotarians and guests
to come together at UN headquarters to hear speakers from the UN
and from Rotary," says Brad Jenkins, primary RI representative to
the UN in New York. "The day is designed to inspire and educate
all participants as well as provide insight into the relationship
between Rotary and the UN."

The program will also include a youth panel for Interactors,
Rotaractors, and Rotary Youth Exchange students. Speakers
will present a 10-minute description of a hands-on international
club project.

Sophia Hameed, a New York University student and former
Interactor, will talk about her experiences as a youth program
participant, including her February trip to India as a
National Immunization Day volunteer.
