Being present is a powerful expression of support for generosity and gratitude. In this episode, Winfred reminds us that being fully present becomes a gift to ourselves and others we touch in our life. According to an old Chinese wisdom saying, when we are genuinely present, we 'give life to life' when we give. We may be touched when we give of ourselves, time, and treasure to others, and in touching and being touched, we progress towards less reactive, more responsive, fresh, and intimate forms of being and generosity.
In Winfred's instance, the support of family members went a long way in allowing her to start and continue the road of generosity with Rotary Club Kampala. She details how Rotary is a family away from one's first family — A Family of Generous Givers! And how Openness, Diversity, and Inclusiveness are crucial when it comes to ageless giving in Kampala Rotary Club (The Arch).
