Kelvin Choi arrived in the U.S. in 2005 as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar from Hong Kong, an opportunity made possible through Rotarians’ support of The Rotary Foundation. He credits
Rotary for “making my American dream happen.”
During the District Assembly’s opening session, Kelvin offered his interpretation of the 2012-13
Rotary theme, “Peace Through Service.”
World peace, he said, is achieved through the kind of service Rotarian perform. “Service is about putting someone else’s needs above yours.”
Inner peace is also accomplished through our Rotary projects. It is a one-on-one service that touches and connects people.
Kelvin closed by saying “No matter how
big or small (the project)…as long as you provide service, you are promoting world peace.”
Kelvin is now a full member of the Minneapolis University Rotary Club while he pursues his PhD. “My visits to different Rotary Clubs make me feel that Rotarians are
always concerned about the world issues, and it was my pleasure to be here to assist the exchange of information and ideas from one part of the world to another part.”
