Former US President Franklin Roosevelt said “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future”. The new committee took-over the office with a “Commitment to community” which is the Theme of the Year for Dukhan Toastmasters. To mould Dukhan Youth for a better future, a “Creative Youth Work-shop (CYW)” was organized for the first time. The seats were limited to 50, however, more than 200 children showed interest in the leadership program. The 7 days workshop was a great success and all par-ticipants requested to repeat such programs quite often. We feel that we have done our bit in strength-ening our youth for a better tomorrow. In this issue we bring an exclusive insight into how Dukhan youth were shaped to face the future through CYW. The details of CYW with pictures in-cluding press releases and all activities are portrayed. To make Dukhan Community tomorrow’s leaders; preparations are in final stage for much awaited DTM- Speech-craft 2011. Wishing you a good reading.

WE ARE YOU... Every creation has a beginning and I count this as the beginning of an opportunity to come up with something creative with a professional touch and look. It is natural that initially any task would appear as if climbing Mount Everest. But anyhow each little step taken gets us up that highest peak finally. Same was my realization, when I slowly waded through difficulties such as receiving matters, arranging them in certain order and criteria, formatting, proof read-

ing and finally evolving successful in bringing out this edition of newsletter “Communiqué ”. This is my primary year in toastmasters. Dur-ing various Toastmasters meetings I realized that Dukhan Toastmasters has talents, skills and poten-tials, to inspire, motivate and even handle humour tactfully. Yet, it was quiet challenging to persuade our Toastmasters to produce articles. I count it is my privilege to publish the wonderful thoughts of those Toastmasters in this edition of newsletter. We have included in this edition a message from our own Division E Governor TM B. Krishna Kumar, Asst. Division E Governor Marketing TM Saquib Raza Khan, Area 28 Governor TM Eswaran Natarajan, President of Dukhan Toastmasters Club TM Nasimudheen A. Hameed, an appeal from advance toastmaster, reports of seven sessions of Creative Youth Workshop successfully completed, a brain teaser and much more. When thinking of doing a good deed through toastmasters where we humbly attempt to become better human beings, these words of Mother Theresa glide into my mind "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." The speciality about Toastmasters is receiving and giving instant feed backs. Our well wisher are our readers who truly intends to support us in im-proving and hence we assure you that your valuable feedback will definitely used as a tool for improve-ment, motivational punches and databank of fresh ideas etc. Also, we have a proposal to our readers, if you wish to be part of our next edition of Communiqué please do not hesitate to write to us along with any little article which you think is worth improving com-munication and leadership skills in any turn of life. Right from cooking to calligraphy to cyberspace to atomic researches to your wonderful experiences in nurturing your little ones, we are open to all, as we are you.

The Message

W elcome, Division E is in the quest of “Challenging the Limits” to be the better amongst the best.

First let me thank each one in Dukhan Toastmasters for the contribution and commit-ment to make the club among the top notch clubs of Division E in a short span of four years. Everyone in the Dukhan Toastmasters deserves a “High Five” for the attempts that were made to make it a reality. In the Communication track, DTM pro-duced one of the best and champion speakers among toastmasters and youth. In the leader-ship track, energetic and committed leaders emerged to serve the Toastmasters fraternity and community at large. The creative workshop organized by Duk-han team for children has drawn lot of atten-tion from all Toastmasters and Parents. It was a great success in all fronts. Congratulations for such a wonderful service to the community. “Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is the expectation.” The Dukhan Toastmasters Leadership as a team to plan, prepare, present and progress in achieving the set goals ahead of target. I see a tremendous amount of positive en-ergy, strength and creativity in Dukhan Team. There is an excellent talent all around and just waiting to be tapped among the community residents. This will help in making better com-municators and leaders with in the community. By collaborating all the strengths that each one of you have, can create a positive en-vironment for learning. By giving speech pro-jects, taking on roles in the meetings, serving as an officer in the clubs, giving feedback or asking friends to join so as to bring skills, en-

ergy and talent into the Toastmasters program. I look toward the future, moving from good to great by tapping your talents, sharing your knowledge and experiences, and honing your communication and leadership skills. The skills you learn and practice at Toastmasters will give you vital tools to use in your everyday lives. As Division E, let´s strive collectively to make this Toastmasters year as Presidents Dis-tinguished Division much ahead of the targets set by TMI.

“Challenge your Limits” to be the best. Starting from now!

C ONGRATULATIONS!!!!! on conducting an excellent workshop for the budding su-perstars of tomorrow. It was truly very

creative. A Youth Leadership program mixed with sports and creativity. The grand Finale showcased the hard work and effort of the co-ordinators. Every child performed explicitly well. My sincere thanks to you and Dukhan Toastmasters for inviting me to witness the Grand Finale of the Creative Youth Workshop. I could see the happiness on the face of the parents watching their children perform. Please take this opportunity to convince the QP Dukhan Management to include the Toastmasters program in their corporate activ-ity. They have opened the door by supporting this Youth Workshop, now it is up to your team close the deal. If you need any assistance from my side, it will be my privilege.

A t the outset, I wish all Dukhan Toastmas-ters a Happy Ramadan and Eid Mubarak.

It is very heartening to see the transfor-mational work at Dukhan Toastmasters. Starting as recently as July 2007, Dukhan Toastmasters Club has already established fame and acclaim among toastmasters fraternity. Dukhan Toast-masters' commitment for talent building and consistent high quality is commendable. Recent creative youth leadership workshop in July 2011 for 50 students has won many a praise from parents, participants, Dukhan community, School authority, Toastmasters fraternity and more importantly from QP Management at Duk-han. I am very happy to learn about the issue of Fourth edition of Dukhan Toastmasters' Newsletter “Communiqué”. Toastmasters news-letter is an important tool for showcasing the achievements of the club as well as sharing of experiences by members and this helps to re-live and savour those winning moments. May Dukhan Toastmasters Club grow leaps and bounds under your leadership.

I ndeed it is my honor and privilege to be the Presi-dent of Dukhan Toastmas-

ters club, which in fact is a unique club that functions within the margins of a multinational community in Dukhan. I accept this key respon-sibility and thank each and every one of you, who has extended their support to our endeav-ours.

Dukhan Toastmasters in association with Integrated Facilities Department of Qatar Pe-troleum, Dukhan, has been a pioneer in entire Qatar to conduct an innovative and unique “Creative Youth Workshop” during July 2011, which could be described as one of the most beneficial, successful & memorable program to all participants and role players involved. A leadership & communications development pro-gram of Toastmasters International “Youth Leadership Program” constituted the main part of the event along with some sports, craft work and a fun trip to Aqua Park. Creativity was the icon of this event where children were provided with an equal opportunity to speak in front of a large audience. Dukhan Toastmasters is on the verge of conducting a speechcraft for a few interested potential toastmasters in September and is open to all members of the community above 18. We readily offer our humble services to conduct such creative workshops, modules and trainings in future as well for the benefit of the community members, their families and even management, with the esteemed and kind sup-port from QP Management. “Our dreams are successful, since we believe

We make that difference...

W hile we walk down the street, we find millions passing by, all busy in their own little world. From business man to beggar busy earning their bread, while some enjoying whatever little time left from their busy

schedule either alone or with their near and dear ones and finally some standing leaning on a pole, either with their arms locked and idly tapping their feet with a look that they have nothing more to do in life. Mostly, to add to their own agony and others‟ with a cloud of cigarette smoke engulfing them or a can of coke slowly draining their lives out.

Have we ever thought how these rotting live pictures or idols on every walk of our life are slowly taking the shape of a pool of stagnated matter? A pool with nothing but frustration, loss, disgust and disrespect for oneself or others

A beggar on street could be given enough money for a day or a life time. But at the end, we will still find him back on the same street when the money gets over. We know how many educated and well quali-fied people commit suicide due to frustration of being unable to generate anything at all out of what they have learned. Spiritual desires changes in people on every new corner of the street. So if some think charity in kind and cash can change lives. Yes it can but could we say that is enough? If some say that a trimmed system of education can change lives. Yes that too is right, yet to which

or what extend? Turn to spirituality and world will change… God alone knows if that is true? The truth remains that, we just pull on with our lives, without truly asking ourselves how we can make a difference to our lives and others. Frankly speaking, have we ever thought of what could bring the actual light of hope, a drizzle of freshness and stream of respect in our life and around us? My answer would be that the only factor which changes our view towards ourselves and the world is our attitude. And Toastmasters could proudly claim that we make and mould attitudes. We make our members and those watching us with restrain feel that, the development of communi-cation skills on a regular basis, can improve a person‟s confidence and view towards life with a new per-spective every day. In parallel developing their leadership skills through a learn-by-doing pattern which has been well experimented and proved as guaranteed success, inflates their competitiveness and puts them on top of the rest of the world. Thus they see that, for what they have been striving throughout their lives are met through being part of an esteemed body or fraternity, which has not only raised their self esteem, a ladder to climb up their dreams, a platform to talk out their hearts, but also an attitude to serve the community by becoming a catalyst for change in oneself and others around them. Toastmasters have an incredible history of changing lives of around 250000 peo-ple in around 90 countries around the globe, who can now undoubtedly claim that “We make a difference”. Living is not mere surviving; but life becomes meaningless when we are not able to lead life as better human beings. Same air we breath, same water we drink, same earth on which we walk, same blood in veins and same matter in our skull,,,,, yet WE make that difference. A tall claim indeed, yet not baseless.

a little to think and a lot to do… join us to make the world a better place
