Service Above Self
Service Above Self is the fundamental principle of Rotary International, a global service organization dedicated to promoting peace, goodwill, and community service. This principle encourages members to prioritize the needs of others over their own self-interest, and to use their time, resources, and skills to make a positive impact in their communities and the world. Through their collective efforts, Rotary has become a powerful force for good, inspiring people from all walks of life to work together towards a brighter, more compassionate future.
