Theme announced in San Diego

Afghanistan to be Rotary country no. 166
Afghanistan, recently suffering from international and regional conflicts, has moved a great step ahead towards peace and understanding.
Rotary Club of Khabul being re-chartered, is a significant landmark of this way. Initially founded in 1968, the club broke up in 1979, suffering from war and political instability.
Returning to Kabul, Rotary covers 166 countries now. Especially in the Arab world, Rotary makes remarkable progress.

Lend a Hand
President-elect unveils 2003-04 theme at International Assembly
RI President-elect Jonathan Majiyagbe on January 27, 2003 unveiled the 2003-04 theme, Lend a Hand, at the International Assembly in Anaheim. Majiyagbe called his theme "simple and straightforward, expressing the natural impulse that all Rotarians feel when they come face to face with human need."
Outlining his four areas of focus for the year-poverty, health, literacy, and the family of Rotary-the president-elect said, "We will Lend a Hand to alleviate poverty, educate the illiterate, and relieve the scourge of disease, and [we will] Lend a Hand of fellowship to all of the family of Rotary," he said.
Citing the outstanding relief efforts of Rotarians to natural disasters, Majiyagbe said, "Hunger, poverty, disease, poor health - these are the disasters that have befallen millions and we must reach out and pull them to safety with the same sense of urgency that we would pull someone from out of raging floodwaters."
