Join Us for an Inspiring Presentation: Moving to Action
Featuring Sallo Polak, Founder of Philanthropy Connections Foundation (PCF)
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
Imagine turning scepticism about charities into real, sustainable change. Over 20 years ago, an eye-opening trip to India sparked Sallo Polak’s journey into the world of humanitarian service. His experiences witnessing both the promise and pitfalls of international aid ultimately led him to Thailand, where he founded Philanthropy Connections Foundation—a not-for-profit built on transparency, accountability, and measurable results.
In this insightful presentation, Sallo will explore how effective not-for-profit organizations can transform communities when guided by clear principles and local empowerment. His approach is rooted in one simple but profound idea: “When you want to help someone, shut up and listen.”
You’ll learn how PCF’s model demonstrates what’s possible when organizations:
• Focus on areas overlooked by larger agencies.
• Ensure 100% local ownership by supporting community leaders and grassroots initiatives.
• Maintain strict oversight and transparency so every resource directly benefits those in need.
Through powerful examples—from aiding displaced families in Shan and Karen States to supporting children’s homes like Baan Unrak—Sallo illustrates how compassion, when paired with good governance and community trust, multiplies impact. This compelling session offers valuable lessons about how thoughtful, well-structured non-profits can change lives and foster self-reliance across the region and beyond.
Join us and discover how purpose-driven action can reshape the world, one project at a time.
Remember to Accept or Decline so we can Plan the evening.

The Club Leadership Learning Seminar (CLLS), formerly known as District Training Assembly (DTA), is coming up, and this year we're doing things a little differently. For those unfamiliar, the CLLS is our district's annual training event where club officers and board members gather to sharpen their skills in areas like leadership, club administration, Rotary's goals, and membership development. Alongside this, a Global Grant Seminar takes place — mandatory for the President-Elect and Foundation Chair to attend in order to qualify our club for Global Grants and District Direct Funds. But here's the exciting part — this year, we want everyone to come. While the board attends sessions, the rest of us will explore Nakhon Pathom together — one of Thailand's most fascinating regions. PP Walter prepared a two-day sightseeing itinerary, and the club will cover the van for our little "field trip." The members will each pay for flights in and out of Don Mueang Airport as well as for accommodation. Travel dates are May 14 and May 17, transport between airport and hotel is provided. Think great food, hidden gems, good laughs, and the kind of fellowship that makes Rotary truly special. Here's how the weekend of May 15–17 looks like:
This is more than a training trip. It's a chance to strengthen our bonds, welcome our newest members, and create memories that will last well beyond this Rotary year. We can promise you one thing — no one who joins us will regret it. Please REGISTER or reply to confirm your interest before April 10, and we will share the full itinerary and logistics shortly. Looking forward to a fantastic weekend together! |
