Gordon McInally, RI Past President 2023-24: In his year as President said: "The goal is to restore hope — to help the world heal from destructive conflicts and, in turn, to help us achieve lasting change for ourselves." Gordon believes Rotary members should offer hope to those affected by mental health challenges. He has cited the correlation between mental health and family violence. As a result of the COVID pandemic, more people around the world are facing mental health issues.

Being part of SAFE Families - Building a Culture of Peace led by Dorothy, I have shared the guidebook on the Prevention of Domestic Violence to an organisation protecting women and children from abusive marriages to help them in implementation of their programs. The program, is a game changer in the slums as a few families have already been reunited for a better course thanks to Dorothy and her team in Australia.
