Statement for wanting to join the Rotary 
The war in Ukraine and humanities view of it, is incredibly important and makes it easy to apply the 4-way test. It is als the way I work to live my life. 
 
Is it the Truth? As I work in Romania and in the US it is so important to establishing truthful relationships with all parties as trust is the way you create opportunites for distributing aid.
 
Is it fair to all concerned? My one goal is to make sure we push aid to the people that most deserve it. There are hundreds of demands everyday for our limited resources and I have to make choices to serve the most in need. That means some groups don't receive aid or are delayed in getting it from us. Honesty about why is the most important thing and I work to "burn completely clean" with all parties.
 
Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships? Being trustworthy is the cornershot of Goodwill and Friendships. Telling the truth is how I have been able to create trusted business relationships and long lasting friendships.
 
Will it be beneficial to all? The goal is always to make humanitarian aid beneficial to all and that is how I try and work every day ... even working to make it the Most beneficial to all. I work to apply this by putting myself in each person's shoes, working to truly understand their needs so I can better serve them.
 
To be fair, these four steps summarize how I have tried to live my life. As I think about being a Rotarian, I believe I could help the chapter, through my service, knowledge of NGO's and humanitarian aid, evaluate possible donations and help the club maintain and grow its international view and contribution to the community and the world.
