RC Holy Spirit, Interact and Rotaract clubs help adopted schools prepare for opening of classes
The Department of Educations National Schools Maintenance Week, known as Brigada Eskwela, was implemented last May 21-26, 2012 to help public schools prepare for the opening of classes next month. Clubs in District 3780 participated in Brigada Eskwela in Quezon City following the Memorandum of Agreement signed last May 4, 2012 by DGE Penny Policarpio and Dr Corazon Rubio, DepEDs City Schools Superintendent. Organizations which supported the Brigada Eskwela Project included the Armed Forces of the Philippines, USAID, ABS-CBN, Globe Telecom, and Petron, among other volunteer groups.

Rotary news in brief from around the globe

The Rotarian -- June 2012
Rotary clubs around the globe have many things in common, including a commitment to service. All year long, clubs are taking action to make a difference in their communities. Heres a roundup of recent club activities worldwide:
Austria In August, Districts 1910 and 1920 (parts of Austria; Bosnia-Herzegovina) hosted 24 students and two Rotarians from Japan who were affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Many of the students had lost their homes or had to evacuate, or lost parents or other relatives. Japanese and Austrian Rotarians covered the cost of the flights (Lufthansa provided discounted tickets), accommodations, and other expenses, and the governments of both countries offered additional financial support. Canada Members of the Rotary Club of Ladner, B.C., have been instrumental in a campaign to rid the provinces coast ofspartina anglica, or common cordgrass, a noxious weed that was planted to control erosion but whose spread now poses a danger to wetland areas. This fall, club members put in 58 hours of work, hand-pulling 250 bags, or 5 tons, of the weed. They finished that stretch of shoreline in October. Curaao The January 2010 earthquake in Haiti left thousands of people with injuries that required amputations. This October, members of the Rotary Club of Willemstad brought 10 amputees to Curaao, where each patient was fitted with a prosthetic leg and underwent six weeks of physical therapy. The club worked with the Royal Netherlands Navy, which provided accommodations in its barracks, and with local companies Insel Air and ABC Bus Company, which covered travel expenses. Indonesia Through a mobile clinic, medics from a hospital in Yogyakarta have provided care to 3,636 homeless children who lost their families in the 2006 eruption of Mount Merapi. After a Group Study Exchange trip to District 3400, team leader Hugo Pike, of the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge, England, worked with his district to develop the idea. The US$20,000 Rotary Foundation Matching Grant project got underway in September 2010, but another eruption of Mount Merapi that October halted progress for several months. After the effort resumed, it expanded to 22 locations. Pakistan Rotarians in Karachi used a van emblazoned with messages in English and Urdu to share information about polio during Subnational Immunization Days in December. Club members also visited a school in the nearby town of Korangi, where they gave drops of vaccine to 238 children and worked with administrator Naushaba Burney to distribute fliers about the disease to students and teachers. Philippines Rotarians in District 3830 carried out two dozen projects after an environmental conference in November 2010. They far exceeded their goal of planting 5,000 trees, or two for every Rotarian in the district. By the end of 201011, they had planted 23,000 trees and expected to add another 25,000 in 2011-12. USA The Rotary Club of Honeoye Falls-Mendon, N.Y., created a self-guided audio tour of 12 local sites, including the Lower Mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the 1837 Mendon town hall; and a one-room schoolhouse thats now a museum. Visitors can use their cell phones to listen to information about the stops on the tour. Instructions are posted at each location and are available in brochures and at www.hfmrotary.org/ tour.html . Zambia The village of Mwandi is home to hundreds of AIDS orphans whose caregivers are elderly relatives. Working with the United Church of Zambia Mission Partners, the nearby Rotary Club of Livingstone is helping these families by replacing 31 deteriorating huts with more stable, traditional African mud houses, and aims to build 25 more. Rotarians from District 6000 (Iowa, USA) have participated in the project, which has benefited 64 families and 200 orphans as of November.

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary
First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
The Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
ROTARIANS PLEDGE
I am a Rotarian
I will always uphold the TRUTH. I am a Rotarian I will always strive to be FAIR in all of my dealings with my fellowmen. I am a Rotarian I will always endeavor to build GOODWILL and UNDERSTANDING in my community, among my countrymen and people of all nations. I am a Rotarian I will always seek to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of people in the spirit of ROTARY SERVICE. I am a Rotarian I will always uphold the Rotary International Motto, SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
5 Avenues of Service
Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotarys philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards. Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotarys humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding & peace. New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

(Formerly Declaration of Rotarians in Business and Professions)
As a Rotarian, I will
1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities
2. Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary 3. Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others 4. Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings 5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society 6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community 7. Honor the trust that Rotary and fellow Rotarians provide and not do anything that will bring disfavor or reflect adversely on Rotary or fellow Rotarians 8. Not seek from a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship

Rotaract club officers discuss their proposed plans for RY 2012-13

PE Marcia Salvador invited members of the Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit to dinner as a personal treat to celebrate the birthday of Rotaract club president Kevin Laragan last May 6, 2012. On this occasion, the tentative plans & programs of Rotaract for RY 2012-13 were discussed, including the potential Brigada Eskwela project for Holy Spirit National High School. The Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit has been declared Best Rotaract Club on the district during the District conference held in Tagaytay City last April 2012.
IPP Dodgie Osabel stresses potential value of information, technology and internet in development
At the meeting last April 26th, Congressman Dodgie discussed the current state of information technology, the internet and social networking channels and their potential value to help barangays and local communities in development. IPP Dodgie suggested that the organization that has been supporting his advocacy, www.alagad.com.ph, shall be prepared to lead the Digital Awareness Project for Poverty Alleviation and Community Development. At the core of this project is the development of CONTENT that is popularly written and packaged, relevant, and useful for our barangay and community leaders. He believes that the best way of doing this is thru a sustainable enterprise approach -- with barangay and LGU subscribers and institutional sponsors foot the bill for the service.
RC Holy Spirit firms up plans for June 29th charter anniversary

RI Presidents May Message

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary,
When we talk about building membership, we all recognize that welcoming a new member into a Rotary club is only the beginning of our task. To turn a new club member into a committed Rotarian, much more is necessary and the first step is helping that new member to get involved. Every Rotarian in every club should know that he or she is not only needed but relied upon. Every Rotarian should have a job within the club a role to play. After all, why are we in Rotary? We are here to make a difference. Yes, we enjoy our Rotary service, but that is not enough if we are to make Rotary a priority week after week, year after year. The knowledge that we are having an impact, that we are changing lives that is what keeps us going, no matter what other demands may compete for our time. And this is why each one of us, however long we have been in Rotary, must always be striving to grow as Rotarians to find new ways to help others, and to bring about all the positive change we possibly can. For this, more than anything, is what makes our Rotary service worthwhile. Whether we are new members or old ones, each of us can find ways to become more involved in Rotary service at the club level, the district level, and beyond. Rotarian Action Groups are a wonderful opportunity to put specific expertise or interests to work, in a way that brings Rotarians from every part of the Rotary world together for a common goal. Whether your passion is water and sanitation issues, or microcredit, or blindness prevention whether you want to volunteer your dental skills or help organize blood drives chances are there is a Rotarian Action Group for you. And if not, why not organize one yourself? You can learn more about Rotarian Action Groups at www.rotary.org/actiongroups. Rotary is and always has been an organization based on its clubs. The purpose of Rotary International is not to direct its clubs, but to connect, inform, and support them. Where and how each club, and each Rotarian, chooses to serve, is ultimately the decision of each one alone. So follow your own ambition and your own vision. Open your eyes to the challenges in our world, and use the strength you have through Rotary to find ways to overcome them. Every one of us has so much potential, and can achieve so much, when we Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.
Foundation Chairmans May Message

With our new grant model, we can do more good in the world
I recently met with a number of Rotarians who will be responsible for communicating with you in the coming year about our new grant model under the Future Vision Plan. I recognize that we are asking the nonpilot districts to make a considerable leap of faith in the development of our Rotary Foundation for the future. It is difficult to understand and accept the changes when you do not know the details. Why Future Vision? So that we can do more good in the world and use our resources in the best way possible. We needed to change our Foundation, as we were facing major challenges. We had to simplify. If this meant that we had to move away from some of our feel good activities, we were prepared to do so. Doing good was a greater priority, and when we do good, feeling good follows. This is not somebody elses plan. The starting point was the responses of the thousands of Rotarians who presented their views. One of the direct results is the six areas of focus. These are where Rotarians want to serve. Almost all of the pilot districts say their Rotary is stronger because of Future Vision. They like the greater opportunity to make their own decisions with district grants. Sometimes building sustainability into global grants has been a challenge, but the pilot districts understand the importance, and our helpful staff can and do assist. What do I ask of you? To get your district structure in place so that you are ready for 1 July 2013, and to please be patient as we make our new Foundation as effective and productive as it can possibly be. If you can wait just a little longer, you will enjoy the new opportunities.

RC Holy Spirit and partners provide free anti-rabies vaccinations to protect the community from fatal dog bites
Last April 28, 2012, RC Holy Spirit led by IPP Dodgie Osabel together with the Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Holy Spirit, in partnership with the Don Antonio Heights Homeowners Association (DAHHA), the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) and the Philippine Animal Hospital Association (PAHA) conducted the 7th annual free anti-rabies vaccination project for dogs in the village and nearby communities. A total of 470 dogs received anti-rabies vaccines provided by BAI. PAHA sent six (6) veterinarians to administer the vaccines. Fifteen (15) Interactors and Rotaractors assisted the veterinarians by handling the registration of animals and their owners in five (5) satellite stations around the subdivision and at the main vaccination center. The young volunteers also provided assistance to the veterinarians in their work as needed.

What Anti-Rabies Vaccination is All About

Rabies is a Latin word that means, "madness, rage, fury". Rabies causes acute inflammation of the brain. In non-vaccinated humans, rabies is almost invariably fatal after symptoms have developed, although prompt post-exposure vaccination may prevent the virus from progressing The route of infection is usually by a bite. In many cases the infected animal becomes exceptionally aggressive, may attack without provocation, and exhibits otherwise uncharacteristic behavior Rabies can be prevented by vaccination. It can also be prevented by avoiding to be bitten by a mad dog or by an infected person who may or may not be a Rotarian. President Arroyo signed the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (Republic Act 9482), which seeks to eliminate human and animal rabies. The law prescribes the roll-out of a National Rabies Prevention and Control Program, which will be implemented by a multi-agency committee chaired by the Bureau of Animal Industry. The program involves the mass vaccination of dogs, establishment of a central database system for registered and vaccinated dogs, impounding, field control and disposition of stray a nd unvaccinated dogs. RA 9482 requires pet owners to have their dog regularly vaccinated, to maintain control of their dog and not allow it to roam any public place without a leash, to provide their dog with proper grooming, adequate food and clean shelter, to report within 24 hours any dog biting incident, to assist the dog bite victim immediately, and to shoulder the medical expenses of the victim.

RI Presidents April Message

In the April issue of the Rotarian, you will read about what Rotary is doing to combat one of the most pressing humanitarian crises facing us today: hunger. It is, I think, common knowledge that when we talk about food shortages, the problems we face are nearly always local. There is more than enough food produced in our world to feed everyone in it. The problem is getting the food where it is needed, and helping people in the poorest regions achieve food security. In so many parts of the world, subsistence farming practices are the only way food can be acquired, and a few months of poor weather, or even a single storm, can mean catastrophe. It is unfortunately also the case that the parts of the world where food supplies are the most vulnerable are often those that receive the least attention when disaster does strike. But this is one of the greatest advantages of Rotary: our local presence in so many parts of the world, and our ability to see, and react to, crises when they occur. More important than this, however, is our commitment to a long-term approach to addressing the root causes of hunger. There is a great deal that all of us in Rotary can do about global hunger, but as always, we rely on the work of local Rotarians to bring help to where it is needed the most. And there is little question that when we look at the world today in terms of poverty and hunger and extreme material want, the place we need to be looking first is Africa which is why Africa is also where we should be looking to expand. Rotarys Reach Out to Africa initiative seeks to increase Rotary club membership in Africa, mobilize African Rotarians to address local needs, and raise awareness of African issues among Rotarians in more developed regions. It is just one way to connect the people who need help with the people who want to give it but may not know where to begin. There is no question that the obstacles to global food security are significant. But they are not insurmountable, and the Rotary model is perhaps one of the most promising paths forward for development if we continue our work to build Rotary into an ever more effective agent of global change.
Foundation Chairmans April Message

Keeping our promise for a polio-free world
As I write this, we are still reflecting on the achievement of a full year in India without a case of polio. As recently as 2009, India had more cases than any other country, so this represents a tremendous effort by Rotarians and our partners, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the government of India and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It shows what can be done when people of goodwill work together toward a goal. As Rotarians, we should feel proud of our fellow Rotarians and the whole family of Rotary in India. This is not the time to relax, however. India is close to two countries where polio still exists, and China had an outbreak in 2011 because of an importation. India has shown that winning the battle is possible, but some hard work remains to be done. One of the unsung aspects of our effort has been advocacy. The governments of the world have contributed billions of dollars for polio eradication, and much of it has come because of the advocacy of Rotarians. This work is quietly performed in the background, but the results have been significant. The Gates Foundation gave us another US$50 million gift in January to help us remain an effective member of the partnership. We have several years to go before the world can be certified polio-free. Please do not stop giving because we have achieved the target of Rotarys Challenge, for every dollar you give for the eradication of polio will be used exactly for that. We made a promise to the children of the world that they would live in a world free of polio. As Rotarians, we keep our promises!

RI President-Elect Sakuji Tanaka will ask Rotarians to build Peace Through Service in 2012-13

Tanaka unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2012 International Assembly, a training event for incoming Rotary district governors. "Peace, in all of the ways that we can understand it, is a real goal and a realistic goal for Rotary," he said. "Peace is not something that can only be achieved through agreements, by governments, or through heroic struggles. It is something that we can find and that we can achieve, every day and in many simple ways." joining the Rotary Club of Yashio, in 1975, he said, he began to realize that his life's purpose was not to make more money, but to be useful to other people. "I realized that by helping others, even in the simplest of ways, I could help to build peace," Tanaka said. He noted that the Japanese tradition of putting the needs of society above the needs of the individual helped his country rebuild after the tsunami and earthquake in March.
"This is a lesson that I think the whole world can learn from, in a positive way. When we see the needs of others as more important than our own Peace has different meanings for different people, Tanaka said. "No defini- needs -- when we focus our energies on a shared goal that is for the good of tion is right, and no definition is wrong," he said. "However we use the word, all -- this changes everything," he said. "It changes our priorities in a completely fundamental way.

Outstanding Club in Administration Outstanding Club in Club Bulletin (with medium-size group) Outstanding Club in Match Club Relation Outstanding Club in Community Development Project Outstanding Club in Human Development Outstanding Club in Basic Education & Literacy Best Rotaract Club Best Interact Club Awarded to 7 Small Clubs including RCHS: Outstanding Rotary Club Outstanding Rotary Club President - President Ped Condeno Summarized in this special issue of The Dove is the list of service projects undertaken by RC Holy Spirit from July 1, 2011 to the present. Some members are surprised that the club was not cited in disease prevention & control, a concern that had preoccupied the club during the year, and for which documentation of projects has been submitted to the awards committee chaired by PP Chito Borromeo of RC New Manila East. Another pride of RCHS, Sports Chair David Kim, emerged overall champion in the 1 st Gov Jess Cifra Golf Tournament held on April 19 at the Splendido Golf & Country Club. The announcement of the awards had been timed with the Rotary International District 3780 Conference held last April 20-21, 2012 at the Taal Vista Hotel. Silver Discon 2012 represented the culminating event of Rotary in the District for RY 2011-2012. The purpose of the inspirational addresses, entertainment & fellowship events, demonstrations of service-above-self through photo exhibits and an actual community service rendered by Rotary spouses led by Spouse Helen Cifra, has been to inspire Rotarians to become more involved in service and for them to develop a vision of Rotary beyond the club level. Like all previous Discons, it had been a conference characterized by a meticulously-organized programme, a roster of well chosen speakers, wonderful entertainment, well-appointed venue with a breath-taking view of Taal Volcano, and the presence of RI Presidents Representative PDG Kamal Sanghvi and Spouse Sonal, and many other dignitaries. President Ped Condeno, PP Linda Palattao, PE Marcia Salvador, Chair Ric Salvador, PN Dr Bong Jung, PND Willy Fabroa, and Rtns Marites Nepomuceno and Peth Rivera attended the DISCON. Rtns Willy and Marites were first-time Discon attendees and were duly recognized at the conference.

July 13 - Club members understand rights of women and children and agree to help spread awareness in the community to avoid violence and abuse
The guest speaker at the clubs regular meeting last July 13 was Ms Salvacion Shiot Pascual, noted researcher, writer, and lecturer on womens and childrens rights. Shiot spoke lengthily about Republic Act No 9262 otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act of 2004. The act underscores the need to protect the family and its members especially women and children against violence and threats to their personal safety and security. Shiot cited disturbing true-to-life cases of violence where women and children suffered from physical/sexual violence, psychological/emotional harm, and economic/financial abuse. The discussions were made even more informative as former barangay chair Rtn Neneng Valmocina related actual cases of violence against women and children happening within our own community. Among those present during the meeting was AG Rose Imperial who expressed interest in inviting Shiot to assist in her clubs outreach programs in Loyola Heights.
Jan 17 - RC Holy Spirit provides first aid kits to garbage collectors to safeguard their health in case of accidents and help ensure uninterrupted community service
On January 17, 2012, RCHS donated eight (8) first-aid kits to the Barangay Council of Holy Spirit for use of the crew members of the Eco-Waste Department in response to a request by the barangay council.. The barangay owns and operates eight (8) garbage collection trucks with a total complement of 38 paleros (garbage collectors). Inspite of preventive measures and care exercised by the men, accidents do happen in the course of their work. First-aid treatments are always urgently needed to contain the adverse effects of accidents like cuts and bruises while they are out in the field away from the health center. The eight garbage collection teams serve a very large urban community: septic, two 120 ml bottles Hydrogen Peroxide, one bottle of 250 ml Ethyl Alcohol 70%, 20 capsules Amoxicillin, 20 tablets Biogesic (paracetamol), one pair of scissors, gauze bandage, first-aid paper tape, cotton balls. The donation was received from RCHS President Ped Condeno and Treasurer Marcia Salvador by Kagawad Lydia Ballesteros, Chair of the barangays Health & Sanitation Committee, Kagawad Bernardito Sabalilag, and Mr Alarmo Matriano of the Eco-Waste Department. At the turn-over President Ped wished that the garbage-truck teams will not need to use the first-aid kits from RC Holy Spirit. He reminded them to be extra careful in their work and wear protective devices such as hand gloves.

Jan 28 - Club participates in the campaign for relief and rehabilitation of Sendongs victims
RCHS sent last January 28, 2012 sixteen (16) boxes of assorted clothes and linens through RC SFDM for the victims of Typhoon Sendong in Mindanao. The donations came from club members and associates, as well as from friends at The Seed Montessori, and were sorted and packed by members of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit National High School. At about the same time, President Ped Condeno turned over to DG Jess Cifra during the Districts mid-year review a check for P35,000 representing the Clubs financial assistance to the rehabilitation program for the flood victims. The cash donations came from RCHS members and friends of President Ped in the USA and Canada.
Oct 8 - RC Holy Spirit joins other clubs in tree-planting to protect the environment
It had been continuously raining due to a low pressure area that had hovered over the country for several days but this did not deter President Ped, IPP Dodgie, PP Linda, Rtns Marcia, Ric, Peth and Marlene and associate member Malou from joining the tree-planting activity at the La Mesa Dam watershed last Saturday, October 8, 2011. At 6:30AM, the group met with District Chair for Environment AG Butch Madarang and other Rotarians at the watershed and proceeded to an area where holes were waiting to be planted with saplings of various species. The day marked the launching of the UN Tree Planting Environment Summit which District 3780 supports. According to AG Butch, all 93 clubs in the district were expected to participate and plant 30 tree saplings each.

Sept 28 - RC Holy Spirit participates in District campaign to End Rabies in QC, Now Na!
The program of eradicating rabies in Quezon City was launched last Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at the Bulwagan Amoranto, Quezon City Hall as part of the World Rabies Day Celebration/Mission that is held every year on this date. The Task Force Lead Group drafted the initial stage of OPLAN Eradication of Rabies with the battle cry: END RABIES IN QC NOW NA! (which was coined by Rotarian AG Butch Madarang, chair of the Districts anti-rabies committee.) Launched simultaneously in 9 rabies-infected barangays, RC Holy Spirit officers coordinated the project in Barangay Batasan Hills. We were represented by AG Linda Palattao, SP Ped Condeno, Sec JR Delgra, and Interactors Rommel Pesimo and Aris Delgra.

Sept 25 RC Holy Spirit organizes Intercity meet where Rotaractors & Interactors learn HIV/AIDS & drug abuse and how to prevent these
Some 80 Rotaractors and Interactors attended the inter-city seminar on HIV/AIDS and Drug Abuse Prevention held at the QC Red Cross Building last September 25, 2011, a Sunday. Ms Janice Melody Adolfo, RN, Head of the QCRC Community Health, spoke before Rotaractors on HIV/AIDS prevention. As President Ped Condeno mentioned in his welcome remarks, the seminar was very timely since recent data showed that for the past eight years, while most countries reported a steady decrease in HIV/AIDS infection, the Philippines and six other countries have reported an upward trend, increasing by more than 800% in less than a decade. Some of the points emphasized in the HIV-AIDS session:
HIV is a virus that infects people by getting inside their blood cells. To avoid getting HIV, a person must prevent the blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk of someone who is infected from entering the body through anatomical openings such mouth or breaks in ones skin. Specifically the resource person reminded the Rotaractors and grown-ups of the time-tested ABCDE rule:
Pres Ped Condeno of RC Holy Spirit welcomes all attendees and resource persons
Abstain from sex Be faithful to your partner Consistently use condoms Do not use illegal drugs Educate yourself Rotaract club presidents call the inter-city meeting to order
In the concurrent session, Interactors interacted with Mesdames Lilybeth Selda and Maria Carmen Chua of the Quezon City Anti-Drug Council who spoke on Drug Abuse and its consequences.
Top substances being used: Shabu (Methampethamine Hydrochloride); Marijuana; Corex-DM (Cough/Cold Medicine); and Rugby Some proven ways to prevent drug abuse:
DONT TRY, DONT START Close family ties Choose your friends Community vigilance
In her closing remarks, Ms. Annie D. Torres, RN, Administrator of QC Red Cross urged the young participants to share what they have just learned with their parents, relatives and friends. The inter-city meeting was organized by RC Holy Spirit in cooperation with the Quezon City Red Cross. Co-hosts of RCHS in the event were 8 clubs: RC Biak na Bato, RC Commonwealth, RC Greenmeadows, RC Metro Diliman, RC New Manila East, RC Pag-asa, RC San Francisco del Monte and RC Timog. It was made possible through the efforts of the officers and members of the Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Holy Spirit, under the guidance of Sec. JR Delgra, Chair of RCHS New Generations Committee.

Nov 9 RCHS trains 335 young pupils to practise oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay
RCHS conducted a fluoride application and dental care education project for preparatory school pupils of Dona Juana Elementary School in Barangay Holy Spirit on November 9, 2011. The team led by Rtn Dr Marylene Martinez applied fluoride agents to the teeth of 335 kindergarten pupils, done in two (2) batches, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Due to limited space in the school, the procedure was done per class of about 25 children. There were eight (8) classes in the morning, and another eight in the afternoon. Before the fluoride application, the children listened to a short lecture by Rtn Marlene on the proper way of brushing their teeth. The children were also given toothbrush and toothpaste packages, generously provided by Colgate-Palmolive Philippines Inc. The team was prepared to cater to 400 kids; however, some were absent for one reason or another. The topical fluorides were applied to the enamel surface of the teeth of the pupils to reduce the incidence of dental decay. Not all the children were happy about the procedure; some cried, while some simply did not want to open their mouths. Dr Marlene prescribed medication for a child found to have swollen gums. Assisting Rtn Dr Marlene in the fluoridization were President Ped, Treasurer Marcia, Rotarian Peth, associate members Malou, Liza and Neng as well as Rotaractors and Interactors led by PE Kevin and Pres Harold, respectively. Thanks to all those who lent their time and effort in this worthy project. Thanks to Mrs Emely Pelobello, principal of Dona Juana Elementary School, for providing morning and afternoon snacks to all the volunteers, and to the kindergarten teachers for their assistance. RCHS especially thanks Colgate-Palmolive for providing the toothbrushes and toothpastes for the children. Thirteen Rotaractors and Interactors of Holy Spirit cheerfully prepared the 400 dental packs on Saturday night at the Salvador residence, before the Wednesday event with the tots in school.

Sept 2 RC Holy Spirit leads 53 Rotary clubs of D3780 in the distribution & donation of 13,200 volumes of reference books to 100 public schools
It was one project that tested the resilience of the club. 13,200 volumes of mostly hardbound reference books to be given to a hundred schools through some 50 Rotary clubswith just a day of preparation! A logistics nightmare! First, how to haul the huge number of books from the SM warehouse in Quiapo to the DAHHA clubhouse in Bgy Holy Spirit in Quezon City. With trucks of Pres Ped and AG Linda, the cargo was brought to its destination. Then the big problem! The books had to be sorted into high school, elementary and pre-school levels, bundled by straw cords for easier handling, and finally piled into stacks for each school. Thanks to the 2 dozen Rotaractors and Interactors, under the supervision of Pres Ped, PP Linda, Sec JR and Treas Marcia, all these were accomplished in nine (9) hours lasting up to 9:30 pm on the eve of the book-distribution. Governor Jess Cifra witnessed last September 2 the turnover of books by Rotary clubs to principals and officials of the 37 public high schools, 50 elementary schools and 15 preparatory schools that the clubs had identified as needy beneficiaries. The large-scale book-distribution activity involved the donation of 13,200 volumes of mostly hardbound reference books that had originated from a US-based partner library of SM Foundation. This project represented an expansion of the already on-going literacysupport book donation activity of RC Holy Spirit with SM Foundation as sponsor. The distribution was done with the help of 53 participating Rotary clubs in RID 3780 which had been earlier requested by RC Holy Spirit to identify public schools which badly needed reference books in their respective libraries.

Oct 19 - Rotarians unwind, then rewind for service with RC Marikina North D3800
October 19, 2011 was meant to be a regular fellowship night. It, however, turned out to be a special fellowship night for three (3) reasons: it was a belated celebration of Rtn Peths birthday last October 16; our AG Rose Imperial came and donated P5,000 to the Club; our friends from sister club RC Marikina North District 3800 also came. We turned over to President Terry and VP Lina of RCMN 50 sets of towels, laundry detergent, toothbrush and toothpaste for the prisoners in Montalban whose prison cells were flooded during the last typhoon. Working together with the Sta Cecilia Parish Church and Parochial School, RCMN asked for our assistance in providing toiletries to 265 needy prisoners located in Dela Costa, Montalban, Rizal in a mission scheduled last October 23, 2011. In response to our sister clubs request, Rtn Nonoy Solidum donated 50 bath towels while the Club donated detergents, toothbrushes and toothpaste for 50. All had a great time with the jokes and funny stories shared by CP Nides, IPP Dodgie, Presidents Ped and Terry, punctuated by the trademark performance of CP Nides on his harmonica. In the absence of a karaoke, the group contented themselves with singing a cappella, and everyone was game contributing a song number or two.

Pres Terry was profuse with thanks for the medicines and food supplements donated by the club and solicited from Unilab which made the mission possible.

Barangay Calawis sits at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, and is one of the remote barangays in Antipolo City. The Rotaractors and Interactors received from Rtn Joe valuable insights on leadership and teamwork. Rtn Joe also engaged them in fun and challenging team-building games and exercises to reinforce concepts learned. Our heartfelt thanks to Engr Joe and spouse Dr Natydel Rosario for sharing their time and resources for the benefit of our youth partners-in-service.

Historic Rotary moments . . .
Rotary: The first four Rotarians
Rotary: Firsts and other facts

Did you know that Rotary founder Paul Harris wasnt the first president of a Rotary club?
That distinction is actually held by Harriss friend Silvester Schiele, who served as the first president of the Rotary Club of Chicago. Harris deferred his club leadership duties until February 1907, when he was elected the third president of the Chicago club. Club firsts On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Chicago for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. A second club was formed in San Francisco in 1908, and soon after, clubs began to pop up across North America. On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehrs office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. On 1 August 1912, the Rotary Club of London became the first club chartered outside of North America. The Rotary Club of Dublin, Ireland, had been organized earlier, but didnt receive its charter until 1 May 1913. Presidential firsts Paul Harris was elected as first president of the National Association of Rotary Clubs (which later became Rotary International) in 1910, and is the only president to have served two terms. Other firsts: Canadian E. Leslie Pidgeon (1917-18) was the first Rotary president from outside the United States, Sydney W. Pascall (1931-32) was the first from Great Britain, and Maurice Duperrey (1937-38) was the first from continental Europe. Learn more about past Rotary presidents. Foundation firsts In 1929, The Rotary Foundation gave its first gift, US$500, to the International Society for Crippled Children (later Easter Seals), which was founded in 1921 by Rotarian Edgar F. Allen, of the Rotary Club of Elyria, Ohio, USA. Read more about Allen and Easter Seals. Paul Harris Fellow recognition was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions, and to encourage substantial ones, to what was then the Foundations only program: Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. Today, the recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Learn more about donor recognition. Convention facts Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted the first convention outside North America in June 1921. Rotarys first convention in Asia was held in Tokyo in 1961. Among the record-setting 23,366 paid and unpaid registrants was the emperor of Japan. The largest convention to date, based on the number of paid registrants, was Osaka, Japan, in 2004, followed by the Rotary centennial convention, held in Chicago in 2005. .
Harriss desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship.
Rotarys founder, Harris, was born in Wisconsin, USA, on 19 April 1868. He was raised by his paternal grandparents in Vermont and attended the University of Vermont, Princeton, and the University of Iowa. He was Rotary president from 1910 to 1912 and a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago until his death on 27 January 1947. Learn more about the founder of Rotary in The Life and Times of Paul Harris. Loehr, a mining engineer, was born on 18 October 1864 in Carlinville, Illinois. He was a Rotarian for only a few years, never holding office at the club or international level. But that first Rotary meeting was held in his office, Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. He died in Chicago on 23 May 1918. A Rotarian for only a few years, Shorey served as recording secretary during the clubs first year. He was born in Maine in August 1862 and died in March 1944. Schiele, a coal dealer, served as the Chicago clubs first president in 1905 and Rotary Internationals third treasurer in 1945. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1870, Schiele attended Terre Haute Business College and served in the U.S. Army during the Spanish-American War. He was president of the Schiele Coal Company from 1902 until his retirement in 1939. He and Harris became lifelong friends and lived near each other on the South Side of Chicago. Schiele died on 17 December 1945 and is buried near Harris at Mount Hope Cemetery. Originally from Michigan, Ruggles was a graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and joined Rotary at its second meeting. He was treasurer of the Chicago club during its first year, president from 1908 to 1910, and a Rotary director from 1912 to 1913. He is known for having introduced singing to Rotary club meetings. His printing company, H.L. Ruggles & Co., printed the first issue of The National Rotarian and the first Rotary songbook. He died on 26 October 1959, an honorary member of seven clubs in addition to his home club, the Rotary Club of Chicago.

Large-scale medical, dental and diagnostic mission organized by RC Holy Spirit and partners serves nearly 2,000 poor patients
Another partnership project dubbed Gamot Para sa Kapwa medical/dental/diagnostic mission was successfully held last February 11, 2012 at the Don Antonio Heights covered court and the senior citizens center for the benefit of underprivileged members of Barangay Holy Spirit. Jointly with the Don Antonio Homeowners Association (DAHHA), St Benedict Parish Pastoral Council (SBPPC), Greater Don Antonio Heights Senior Citizens Association (GDAHSCAI), and with SM Foundation as major sponsor, RC Holy Spirit coordinated and supervised the mission. PP Dr Roger Belleza, chair of RCHSs Health & Wellness Committee, led a team of 19 doctors that gave free medical consultations to 1,249 patients. Joining him were members of his family. Also on hand to share their time and expertise were SP Dr Jess Lim of RC Pag-asa, SP Dr Juvido Agatep of RC Metro Sta Mesa, and Rtn Dr Leandro Sacro of RC Valenzuela RID 3800. Meanwhile, TRF Chair Dr Eui Bong Jung administered acupuncture services to 10 patients, most of whom were very happy to feel relieved from body pains they have had for 3-4 months after only 10-15 minutes of treatment. 276 dental patients were attended to by a team of dedicated dentists led by Rtns Dr Jong Myeong Kim and Dr Marlene Martinez who stayed until the last patient was served at around 5:30pm (the mission was to have ended at 3:00pm). President Terry Amado of RC Marikina North, RID 3800, came to lend a hand with daughter-dentist Dr Kay and a dentist friend. Dr Jong Myeong Kim brought along his family as usual and 19 youth members of Students for Christ who not only acted as dental aides but also provided entertainment to the kids with their balloon-making skills. Dr Myeong also set up an audio-visual system to entertain patients with movies while waiting for their turn. Members of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit National High School and Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit led by President Harold Kim Maggay and PE Kevin Laragan, respectively, were a great help with assisting the patients in the registration, priority and waiting areas. Also busily ensuring that the mission proceeded well were SP Ped Condeno, IPP Dodgie Osabel, Sec JR Delgra, Chair Ric Salvador, Rtn Angel Castro and Rtn Willy Fabroa. PE Marcia Salvador was overall mission coordinator. Volunteers from SMFI, DAHHA, GDAHSCAI, SBPPC and RCHS all worked together to make the mission a successful partnership project. SMFI provided free medicines, the x-ray mobile clinic, ECG machine, urinalysis and FBS services, as well as paramedical staff. DAHHA provided the venue, security and physical set-up. SBPPC and DAHHA gave drinking water for the 130 mission volunteers. RCHS ensured the availability of teams of volunteer doctors and dentists, including a significant number from Rotary clubs. The club also provided food (breakfast, morning & afternoon snacks, and lunch) for the volunteers. Truly an exemplar of collaborative effort!

RC Holy Spirit provides first aid kits to garbage collectors to safeguard their health in case of accidents and help ensure uninterrupted community service
On January 17, 2012, RCHS donated eight (8) first-aid kits to the Barangay Council of Holy Spirit for use of the crew members of the Eco-Waste Department in response to a request by the barangay council.. The barangay owns and operates eight (8) garbage collection trucks with a total complement of 38 paleros (garbage collectors). Inspite of preventive measures and care exercised by the men, accidents do happen in the course of their work. First-aid treatments are always urgently needed to contain the adverse effects of accidents like cuts and bruises while they are out in the field away from the health center. The eight garbage collection teams serve a very large urban community: 322 hectares with 158 streets Population of about 150,000 30% Affluent 70% Urban Poor Each first aid kit provided by RCHS contained a bottle Betadine antiseptic, two 120 ml bottles Hydrogen Peroxide, one bottle of 250 ml Ethyl Alcohol 70%, 20 capsules Amoxicillin, 20 tablets Biogesic (paracetamol), one pair of scissors, gauze bandage, first-aid paper tape, cotton balls. The donation was received from RCHS President Ped Condeno and Treasurer Marcia Salvador by Kagawad Lydia Ballesteros, Chair of the barangays Health & Sanitation Committee, Kagawad Bernardito Sabalilag, and Mr Alarmo Matriano of the Eco-Waste Department. At the turn-over President Ped wished that the garbage-truck teams will not need to use the first-aid kits from RC Holy Spirit. He reminded them to be extra careful in their work and wear protective devices such as hand gloves.

RC Holy Spirit begins to identify service project and partner club for matching-grant proposal
RC Holy Spirit led by SP Ped Condeno has decided to take steps needed to complete and submit a matching-grant proposal for a service project that would help resolve a pressing community concern. Several potential projects have already been suggested, including the construction of an especially designed & equipped school room for SPED pupils, and the upgrading of a schools toilet system. First step is to identify and agree on one project. According to RI the most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas: Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Disease prevention and treatment Water and sanitation Maternal and child health Basic education and literacy Economic and community development Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation recognize these six areas of focus as organizational priorities. Then, we should identify a foreign Rotary club who would be interested to support the proposed project. In the case of RC Holy Spirit, we could start the exploration with our sister-club RC Seoul Baeksang D3650 in Korea, and with RC San Mateo Sunrise D5150 in California USA whose AG Ms. Becky Nazareno visited us last May for the second time. If necessary, we may also get in touch with Rotary clubs that we would select in the districts with whom DG Jess Cifra signed sisterdistrict agreements at the Bali Rotary Institute last December.

RI Presidents January Message

At Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C., stands a memorial to the Seabees, formally known as the U.S. Naval Construction Force. An inscription reads, With willing hearts and skillful hands, the difficult we do at once; the impossible takes a bit longer. In Rotary, we already have our own mottoes. If we didnt, I might be given to nominate those two lines. The power of combined effort, as Paul Harris once wrote, knows no limitation. When we work together, the impossible becomes possible. I thought of this when I read, a few months ago, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, the premier medical journal in the United States. Titled The Polio Endgame, it outlined a strategy for a post-polio era, including managing posteradication risks. Thirty years ago, such an article could never have been published. Today, it is a testament to the power of dedication, of persistence, and of combined effort. The impossible has, indeed, become possible. A post-polio world, once the stuff of dreams, will soon be here. My friends, the day that polio will be eradicated is close at hand. We have to be ready for it with a powerful Rotary a Rotary of enthusiasm and confidence, of bold vision and clear ambitions. It is time for us to prepare by taking an honest look at our clubs. Are our projects meaningful, sustainable, and relevant? Are our meetings productive and enjoyable? Are our clubs welcoming to new members, and are our schedules and events friendly to young families? And once people join us, do we welcome them properly, involve them enough? Do we make them a part of the family of Rotary quickly enough? The figures tell us that while enough new individuals join Rotary every year and everywhere, too many exit Rotary, on an ongoing basis. What unfulfilled hope do they leave with? What expectations are we not meeting? Can we do more and better? Now is the time to focus our energies on our clubs, and on the way people see them. It is time to show our communities that the Rotary of today is not the Rotary of their preconceptions. Rotary is a way to connect, to do more, to be more it is a way to take our idealism and our vision, and turn them into reality.

RI Presidents December Message

In late August, Binota and I were in Ghana, where Rotary Foundation Trustee Vice Chair Sam Okudzeto and enthusiastic local Rotarians took us to the ribbon-cutting for a water project in a little village, Abutia Teti, about 60 miles from Accra. We arrived at about 11 a.m., and the whole village seemed to be there. Everyone had been waiting since early morning to welcome us. In the past, the women had to walk over 3 miles to carry pails of water from a river. Now they had a supply of safe, clean water from tube wells in the village itself. It was a simple but effective project in which Rotary and USAID had worked together. But what struck us most that day was family: The men, the women, the children were all there together, dancing, singing, and welcoming us. It made me think about how everywhere around the world, people come together in families, and families join together as communities. And this made me happy that the first of our emphases in this Rotary year is the family, because the family is where everything begins. It is where life begins, it is where our day begins, and it is where our Rotary service must begin. Because it is the family, and not the individual, that is the building block of the community and of Rotary. It is one of my great priorities to encourage the involvement of families in Rotary service. I feel incredibly strongly that Rotary should never, ever come between the Rotarian and the family. Rotary service should be something that brings the family closer together. For myself, if I cannot bring Binota with me to a Rotary event, its simple I dont go! Rotary is not just for me; it is for both of us. This is why I encourage districts to welcome families at district conferences, to involve spouses and children in service projects, and to plan meeting times with families in mind. The more that families are involved in Rotary, the more Rotary will thrive today and tomorrow. What is Rotary about? Its about so many things, but at its core, Rotary is about these words: Love your neighbor as yourself. Rotary is about love, and that love has to start with us and with those closest to us.

Floods receding in Bangkok

Rotary International News -- 1 December 2011 According to a November article in the Bangkok Post, the recent flooding in the Thai capital, site of the 2012 RI Convention in May, is receding, although floodwaters remain high in some areas near the Chao Phraya River. The article quotes Anond Snidvongs, executive director of the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, as saying that the worst of the crisis is over. Although the district of Thon Buri is expected to experience some flooding over the next month, neither the Impact Exhibition & Convention Center nor hotels in which RI has blocks of rooms are located in the affected area. Rotary International and Rotarians in Bangkok will continue to monitor conditions there. Any changes in plans for the convention and related events will be communicated via email to all registrants, and be posted on the RI website and social media sites.

RCHS helps 335 young pupils practise oral hygiene, prevent tooth decay
RCHS conducted a fluoride application and dental care education project for preparatory school pupils of Dona Juana Elementary School in Barangay Holy Spirit on November 9, 2011. The team led by Rtn Dr Marylene Martinez applied fluoride agents to the teeth of 335 kindergarten pupils, done in two (2) batches, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Due to limited space in the school, the procedure was done per class of about 25 children. There were eight (8) classes in the morning, and another eight in the afternoon. Before the fluoride application, the children listened to a short lecture by Rtn Marlene on the proper way of brushing their teeth. The children were also given toothbrush and toothpaste packages, generously provided by Colgate-Palmolive Philippines Inc. The team was prepared to cater to 400 kids; however, some were absent for one reason or another. The topical fluorides were applied to the enamel surface of the teeth of the pupils to reduce the incidence of dental decay. Not all the children were happy about the procedure; some cried, while some simply did not want to open their mouths. Dr Marlene prescribed medication for a child found to have swollen gums. Assisting Rtn Dr Marlene in the fluoridization were President Ped, Treasurer Marcia, Rotarian Peth, associate members Malou, Liza and Neng as well as Rotaractors and Interactors led by PE Kevin and Pres Harold, respectively. Thanks to all those who lent their time and effort in this worthy project. Thanks to Mrs Emely Pelobello, principal of Dona Juana Elementary School, for providing morning and afternoon snacks to all the volunteers, and to the kindergarten teachers for their assistance. RCHS especially thanks Colgate-Palmolive for providing the toothbrushes and toothpastes for the children. Thirteen Rotaractors and Interactors of Holy Spirit cheerfully prepared the 400 dental packs on Saturday night at the Salvador residence, before the Wednesday event with the tots in school.

RC Holy Spirit participates in testimonial program to honour Rotary Foundation donors

The Rotary Foundation Testimonial Dinner last November 11, 2011 at Crowne Plaza Galleria was a special night as the RI District 3780 leadership honoured 18 Major Donors, 212 Paul Harris Fellows, 67 Sustaining Members, 17 EREY Clubs and four 100% Contributing Clubs for RY 2011-12. The level of contributions achieved so far has already surpassed the records set in prior Rotary years, according to Lieutenant Governor Boone Ongchoco, Chairman of the District Annual Giving Committee. The night was made even more special with the presence of Past Rotary International President Wilfrid Wilf Wilkinson, incoming Chairman of The Rotary Foundation Trustees. In his message, PRIP Wilf Wilkinson stressed the goals of The Rotary Foundation, including polio eradication, the Future Vision Plan as guide for allocating foundation funds most effectively, and focus on getting support for the Annual Programs Fund. Silver President Ped is one of the Paul Harris Fellows recognized for their contribution to the TRF for RY 2011-12. Treasurer Marcia is recipient of PDG Danny Faustos contribution for RY 2011-12. PDG Danny is one of 18 distinguished Rotarians recognized as Major Donor. (Major Donors are those who have contributed at least $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation.) Our CP Nides Respicio is among the Sustaining Members cited. Also presented and inducted during the evening are the 46 charter members of District 3780 Paul Harris Society led by PDG Oscar Inocentes who pledged to contribute $1000 annually to the Foundation. The testimonial dinner was hosted by RC Kamuning West, with Assistant Governor Rencie Padernal as Chairman of the Testimonial Dinner event. AG Rencie, who is chair of the District Service Projects Committee, has been mentioned for being the districts largest contributor to the foundation so far this year. Close to 300 Rotarians, guests and dignitaries in the Rotary world graced the memorable event. RC Holy Spirit was represented by President Ped, Treasurer Marcia, Admin Chair Ric, and Rtn. Peth, spouse of DGN Francis Rivera.

Rotarians can be confident that their contributions to The Rotary Foundation are being well spent. The Foundation has earned a grade of A+ from the American Institute of Philanthropy, a top rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, and full accreditation from the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau. Only 2.3 percent of Foundation funding goes to administrative expenses, and 7.3 percent goes to fundraising. The Foundation focuses more than 90 percent of its spending on programs, far exceeding the threshold of 75 percent that independent charity-rating services view as a measure of high efficiency. That comes as no surprise to Foundation Trustee Steve Brown, who says the organizations grant application and review process contains the safeguards necessary to ensure that funds are used wisely. Typically, Brown explains, international projects funded by the Foundation involve a sponsor club or district, which partners with an on-site host club or district. Funding may go through the sponsor or host. To implement a project, clubs must spell out what they plan on doing, how they plan on doing it, and what Rotarians involvement will be. All projects require a detailed budget and often additional supporting documentation before receiving Foundation approval. Once an approved project is funded, Brown says, a detailed progress report must be presented within one year. The reporting includes verification of what has happened (usually with photos) and requires copies of bank statements showing the flow of funds. The presidents of either the host or sponsor club must sign off on the report. The Foundation has a stewardship committee that can review a project and impose a resolution if issues occur. If money was improperly spent, a club can be asked to return funds or even have its membership in Rotary International terminated.

You dont want to have everything controlled from Evanston, Brown says. We probably have more complaints about our rigorous stewardship than applause for it. But 99 percent of the time, things go the way we expect.
RI Presidents November Message

In 1885, the London Times ran a series of editorials honoring the 100th birthday of Sir Moses Montefiore, the British financier and philanthropist knighted by Queen Victoria. The editorials commented on his honesty, his generosity, and his willingness to come to the aid of anyone in need. One story was particularly telling. Someone once asked Sir Moses, one of the wealthiest men of his era, how much he was worth. In the face of such an ill -mannered inquiry, he merely paused for a moments reflection before naming a figure one that fell far short of his questioners expectations. Naturally, it was met with an objection; surely he must be worth 10 times as much! Sir Moses merely smiled. Young man, he replied, you didnt ask me how much I own. You asked me how much I am worth. So I calculated how much I have given to charity this year, and that is the number I gave you. You see, in life we are worth only what we are willing to share with others. When we calculate our own worth, do we think about it in terms of what we have, or how we use it? When we say that all human beings are of equal worth, do our actions follow our words? I believe that being a Rotarian means looking at all of our resources differently. What is the most good that we could choose to do with what we have? What are the choices that will ultimately leave us the richest? In Rotary, we are all aware of the great needs in so many parts of our world. And we all know how much we can do to help through our Rotary Foundation. We can change lives, we can restore hope, we can build futures if we choose to. In life, everything is a choice. We can choose to close our eyes to the needs of others, to keep what we have for ourselves, to declare the problems of others to be theirs alone. Or we can choose to look past distance, past color, past language and dress and culture, and see that people everywhere are just like us and then refuse to walk away. Kalyan Banerjee President, Rotary International
Rotarians unwind, then rewind for service

October 19, 2011 was meant to be a regular fellowship night. It, however, turned out to be a special fellowship night for three (3) reasons: it was a belated celebration of Rtn Peths birthday last October 16; our AG Rose Imperial came and donated P5,000 to the Club; our friends from sister club RC Marikina North District 3800 also came. We turned over to President Terry and VP Lina of RCMN 50 sets of towels, laundry detergent, toothbrush and toothpaste for the prisoners in Montalban whose prison cells were flooded during the last typhoon. Working together with the Sta Cecilia Parish Church and Parochial School, RCMN asked for our assistance in providing toiletries to 265 needy prisoners located in Dela Costa, Montalban, Rizal in a mission scheduled last October 23, 2011. In response to our sister clubs request, Rtn Nonoy Solidum donated 50 bath towels while the Club donated detergents, toothbrushes and toothpaste for 50. All had a great time with the jokes and funny stories shared by CP Nides, IPP Dodgie, Presidents Ped and Terry, punctuated by the trademark performance of CP Nides on his harmonica. In the absence of a karaoke, the group contented themselves with singing a cappella, and everyone was game contributing a song number or two.

Senator Teofisto Guingona III and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Amando Tetangco Jr, both nominees and two of the charter founders of RC Holy Spirit, were among 14 distinguished personalities honoured by RI District 3780 during the Vocational Service Awards Night held last October 28, 2011 at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel. Sen. Guingona and Gov. Tetangco were recognized for their excellence in the fields of Public Service-Legislation and Banking and Finance, respectively. They are among 14 distinguished persons in Quezon City who have excelled in their respective vocations, demonstrated commitment to high ethical standards, and established themselves as role models for others. Governor Tetangco took time out from his busy schedule and attended the awards night with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. In fact, he had just come from a meeting in Malacanang. Sen Guingona could not make it and the award was received in his behalf by PN Ed Valbuena. BSP Gov. Tetangco was also nominated by RC Kamuning West.

Rotary celebrates World Interact Week

By Ryan Hyland Rotary International News -- 1 November 2011
During World Interact Week, 31 October-6 November, Interactors and Rotarians worldwide commemorate the charter of the first Interact club in 1962. To mark this occasion Interact clubs are encouraged to participate in joint projects with their sponsor clubs. Rotarians can celebrate by including Interactors in their weekly meetings, or inviting an Interactor as a guest speaker. "Interactors should be celebrating this week by getting together to review their accomplishments over the past year," says Martin H.F. Bridge, chair of the RI Rotaract/Interact Committee and member of the Rotary Club of South Holland, England. "It is a great time to reflect on the vision of those who started the program nearly 50 years ago." The success of Interact is crucial for the future of Rotary, says Bridge. "Interactors will, in time, understand all about Rotary, and should make good future Rotarians." In turn, reaching out to Interactors "keeps Rotarians young at heart" and provides insight into the thoughts and concerns of younger generations, he added. Bridge says communication between Rotarians and Interactors is important. Interactors should take every opportunity to meet with Rotarians in both their sponsoring club and neighboring clubs.

It had been continuously raining due to a low pressure area that had hovered over the country for several days but this did not deter President Ped, IPP Dodgie, PP Linda, Rtns Marcia, Ric, Peth and Marlene and associate member Malou from joining the tree-planting activity at the La Mesa Dam watershed last Saturday, October 8, 2011. At 6:30AM, the group met with District Chair for Environment AG Butch Madarang and other Rotarians at the watershed and proceeded to an area where holes were waiting to be planted with saplings of various species. The day marked the launching of the UN Tree Planting Environment Summit which District 3780 supports. According to AG Butch, all 93 clubs in the district are expected to participate and plant 30 tree saplings each. Photo below shows the tree planters posing with Mr Laureano B Lingan Jr, DENR Regional Executive Director. Hot goto and sandwich were waiting for the drenched planters after the activity.

RC Holy Spirit participates in District campaign to End Rabies in QC, Now Na!
The program of eradicating rabies in Quezon City was launched last Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at the Bulwagan Amoranto, Quezon City Hall as part of the World Rabies Day Celebration/Mission that is held every year on this date. The Task Force Lead Group drafted the initial stage of OPLAN Eradication of Rabies with the battle cry: END RABIES IN QC NOW NA! (which was coined by Rotarian AG Butch Madarang, chair of the Districts anti-rabies committee.) Launched simultaneously in 9 rabies-infected barangays, RC Holy Spirit officers coordinated the project in Barangay Batasan Hills. We were represented by AG Linda Palattao, SP Ped Condeno, Sec JR Delgra, and Interactors Rommel Pesimo and Aris Delgra.
What rabies is all about

(RCHS Research)
Rabies is a Latin word that means, "madness, rage, fury". Rabies virus causes acute inflammation of the brain. In non-vaccinated humans, rabies is almost invariably fatal after symptoms have developed, although prompt post-exposure vaccination may prevent the virus from progressing. Rabies impact can be controlled by vaccination. It can also be prevented by avoiding to be bitten by a mad dog or cat, or by an infected person. The Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (Republic Act 9482) requires pet owners to have their dog regularly vaccinated, to report within 24 hours any dog biting incident, to assist the dog bite victim immediately, and to shoulder the medical expenses of the victim. The law imposes fines and imprisonment for certain acts of irresponsible pet ownership including refusal to have the dog vaccinated. Thus, anti-rabies vaccination does not only make sense; its required by law.

RI Presidents October Message

In the pages of this months magazine, you will be introduced to the marvelous city of Bangkok, Thailand, which will play host to our 2012 Rotary International Convention. Please consider this my personal invitation to join me, my family, and our fellow Rotarians at what promises to be an incredible event in one of the worlds most fascinating locations. Thailand is a spectacular destination, truly the Land of a Thousand Smiles. I would particularly urge Rotarians who have never visited Thailand before to consider this as your chance. Youll be surrounded by gracious Rotarian hosts and friends, old and new, from around the world. Bangkok is a fantastic gateway for those wishing to explore Southeast Asia, and a wonderful experience on its own. For those who hail from countries closer by, take the opportunity to visit a major cultural capital, with all it has to offer including shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Indeed, Bangkok will give you a wonderful value for your time and money. But the very best reason to visit Bangkok, of course, will be the 2012 RI Convention itself, 6-9 May the highlight of the Rotary calendar. All through the year, we reach out to Rotary communities around the globe. At the convention, we have the chance to see all those communities represented in one place to hear all the languages, see all the people, and learn about all the projects of the past year. Nothing brings home the internationality of Rotary like a Rotary convention and nothing else has the same power to inspire. I firmly believe that every Rotary event should be a family event, and this is why Binota and I plan to bring our children and our grandchildren. Why not do the same, and make the Rotary convention part of your familys vacation next year? With so many wonderful events and activities to choose from, there is something for everyone, and plenty of opportunity to draw our families closer to our Rotary service. Every year, I go to the convention excited to see old friends and make new ones, to celebrate our successes and learn from our experiences. And every year, I leave with a sense of pride in Rotary, eager to begin another year of service. Bangkok promises to be the best convention yet. I urge you to register now at www.rotary.org/convention, and to begin planning your trip to our 103rd international convention!

Youth learn HIV/AIDS & drug abuse and how to prevent these
Some 75 Rotaractors and Interactors attended the seminar on HIV/AIDS and Drug Abuse Prevention held at the Quezon City Red Cross Building last Sunday, September 25, 2011. Ms Janice Melody Adolfo, RN, Head of the QCRC Community Health, spoke before Rotaractors on HIV/AIDS prevention. In a concurrent session, the Interactors listened to Mesdames Lilybeth Selda and Maria Carmen Chua of the Quezon City Anti-Drug Council speak on Drug Abuse and its consequences. As President Ped Condeno mentioned in his welcome remarks, the seminar is very timely since recent data showed that for the past eight years, while most countries reported a steady decrease in HIV/AIDS infection, the Philippines and six other countries have reported an upward trend, increasing by more than 800% in less than a decade. In her closing remarks, Ms Annie D Torres, RN, Administrator of the QC Red Cross urged the young participants to share what they learned during the seminar with their relatives and friends. The inter-city meeting was organized by RC Holy Spirit in cooperation with the Quezon City Red Cross. Co-hosting the event were RC Biak na Bato, RC Commonwealth, RC Greenmeadows, RC Metro Diliman, RC New Manila East, RC Pag-asa QC, RC San Francisco del Monte and RC Timog. It was made possible through the efforts of the officers and members of the Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Holy Spirit, under the guidance of Sec JR Delgra Chair of RCHS New Generations Committee.

We have a color for the 2011-12 Rotary year, and that color is green. Why green? Because green is the color of spring, of new life, of bright leaves bursting forth from spreading branches. And there is no doubt that it is time to green Rotary to lift our deepening pallor of gray and replace it with brighter shades of green. Overall, in Rotary, only 11 percent of our members are under the age of 40, while 68 percent are over 50 and 39 percent are over 60. Its not too hard to see where this will lead us in 10, 20, and 30 years down the line, if we dont do something about it now. It is not enough to simply bring in new members. We need to bring in younger members, who will breathe new life and new vigor into our organization. How can we be more attractive to younger members, who are so different in so many ways from the young professionals of a generation or two ago? We have to come to them where they are and for most young people, where they are is on the Internet, on Facebook, on Twitter and e-mail, and on their smartphones. A club that doesnt have a presence on the Internet simply doesnt exist as far as they are concerned. A clubs website is its public face and it has to be a good one. More than anything, I believe we need to bring back the idea of the family of Rotary. We need to look at all of Rotary as one family: Rotarians, their families, and also Rotaractors, Interactors, Youth Exchange students and alumni, Foundation alumni, and so on. And we need to consider retention as an idea that applies not just to Rotarians, but to the entire family of Rotary. Too often, we look outward to find new members, and we do not see our own young generation, waiting to be called upon. We must look to them to find the capable and enthusiastic new members who will be the club presidents, the district governors, and the RI senior leaders of tomorrow. We owe it to our Rotary family past, present, and future to make sure that our generation of Rotarians is not the last. We must, in a very real sense, reach within to embrace our Rotary family, so that we can better embrace all of humanity.

Last August 28, 2011 the Rotaract District Assembly (DISTAS) was held at Sir Williams Hotel on Timog Avenue, Quezon City with the theme, Taking on a new wave of change.

PDG Danny Fausto briefs club members on the basics of Rotary

During its September 14 meeting, members of RC Holy Spirit listened to a well-researched talk of PDG Danny on the history of Rotary worldwide and in the Philippines, as well as on the interesting life of Paul Harris never before heard by most Rotarians. Indeed, RCHSs two new members Nonoy Solidum and Angel Castro and the rest of the clubs members were fortunate to have received such comprehensive detail on Rotary and its founder. Undoubtedly, PDG Danny is the best in the Philippines as far as Rotary education is concerned.

Sisterhood ties with RC Marikina North D3800 is renewed

The sister club agreement between RC Holy Spirit and RC Marikina North, RID 3800, was renewed at the latter's western-inspired 31st anniversary celebration held last September 6, 2011. The agreement was signed by President Ped of RCHS and President Dr Terry Amado of RCMN and will be effective for one year. After the signing, President Ped turned over four (4) cartons of various medicines and food supplements in support of RCMN's medical/ dental mission in Barangay San Rafael in Rodriquez, Rizal on September 10, 2011. Since the sisterhood ties were established two years ago, the two clubs have worked together in three (3) medical/dental missions.

Massive book donation & distribution project a success!

It was one project that tested the resilience of the club. 13,200 volumes of mostly hardbound reference books to be given to a hundred schools through some 50 Rotary clubswith just a day of preparation! A logistics nightmare! First, how to haul the huge number of books from the SM warehouse in Quiapo to the DAHHA clubhouse in Bgy Holy Spirit in Quezon City. With trucks of Pres Ped and AG Linda, the cargo was brought to its destination. Then the big problem! The books had to be sorted into high school, elementary and pre-school levels, bundled by straw cords for easier handling, and finally piled into stacks for each school. Thanks to the 2 dozen Rotaractors and Interactors, under the supervision of Pres Ped, PP Linda, Sec JR and Treas Marcia, all these were accomplished in nine (9) hours lasting up to 9:30 pm on the eve of the book-distribution. On book-distribution day, September 2nd, we were ready. The DAHHA clubhouse started to fill up as early as 1 pm. Pres Ped, AG Linda and Treas Marcia were already around to receive fellow Rotarians and officials of their respective beneficiary schools. The program promptly started at 2 pm, with 80% of the co-sponsoring clubs present. Mr Bob Navida, SM Project Manager for Outreach Programs, graced the occasion and vowed to make this an annual literacy project with Rotary. In the middle of the book distribution activity, Gov Jess Cifra arrives. What a pleasant surprise! His presence certainly lent distinct honor to this very important event for RC Holy Spirit, co-sponsoring clubs and school officials. Our heartfelt thanks to our principal sponsor, SM Foundation Inc, with whom RCHS has a history of partnership and collaboration. Thanks to IPP Dodgie, PP Linda, Sec JR and Rotarians Peth, Marlene and Angel for assisting recipient schools and helping in the book distribution. To associate members Neng, Malou, Liza and Babes for helping in the distribution as well as for preparing snacks. To Rotaract PE Kevin and his team and to Interact Pres Harold and his team for the hard work they put in to ensure the success of this project. Truly, the project was an exemplar of teamwork for Rotarians, associate members and youth partners inservice.

Foreign sister club affiliation helps clubs to grow and develop international outlook & fellowship
By D3780 AG Pastor Mar Reyes RC SFDM
Many clubs, by fear of perceived expense and difficulties, shy away from forging sisterhood relations with foreign clubs. We do not have to be big clubs or clubs endowed with huge resources. Any club for that matter can enjoy the benefits of an enduring and enriching experience, from doing service together, and having fellowship, with a foreign club. After all, Rotary is supposed to promote world peace and understanding and at the same time making our world a better place to live in. So, what is the better way to experience the internationality of Rotary? Get into a foreign sister club relationship. How do we get started? The late Louie Lopez, SFDMs charter member and past president started it all with our club. Because of his vast business dealings in Japan, Singapore, Hawaii and the USA, he saw to it that his business partners and acquaintances introduced him to clubs in the countries he visited. Rotarians who travel abroad can exert a little effort to know clubs in the places they visit. Professional and alumni reunions are a rich source of getting to know foreign clubs. Only last June 29, 2011, we met Rotarian Dolores Bediones from the RC Honolulu Sunrise, in Makati. Her husband is a past president and many of her relatives (she is a Panlilio) are Rotarians. She was tasked by her club to check us out because they want to have their 1st foreign sister club. She said a member of their club has a friend who attended a high school reunion of the Ilocos Norte High School in Laoag, and our Past President Arnold Guerrero happened to be there and handed out his calling card. Other clubs began with non-Filipino members of their clubs. But the biggest source of information could be rotary.org, ProjectLink and Rotary magazines. The rewards of sisterhood relations should not be limited to opportunities for financial assistance like grants or direct donations. A club grows and develops when it builds and nurtures sisterhood relations. Effective and interesting international service projects must always be in the menu because clubs from donor countries are often on the look out for projects to fund. But most of all, it is the excitement and enriching experiences we get from joint activities that make all our efforts worth our while. In my personal experience, when we were invited to attend the Discon in Japan of D-2480, hosted by our sister club RC Isesaki, whose member Tetsuo Ushikubo was the District Governor, I was presented among others, by DG T Tetsuo, with a special gift. Our member Takahiro Yoshida interpreted for me. DG Tetsuo actually handed me a specially folded parchment paper, with colors and strings, unique designs and delicate attachments, which is how marriage contracts are presented in Japan. DG Tetsuo told me: I should take care of our sisterhood relations like we take care of our marriage, and not let the bonds (strings) be detached or broken because it is their intention to keep our relationship an enduring, enriching and fruitful one. It was one Rotary moment I will never forget

RC Timog and RC Holy Spirit to work on first joint project

As announced by Chair Peth Rivera of the Fund Generation Committee in a previous meeting, RCHS will join hands with RC Timog in hosting a golf tournament on December 9, 2011 at the Philippine Navy Golf Course. RC Timog, a veteran in organizing golf tournaments as fund raising events, invited RCHS, a neophyte in this type of project, to co-sponsor the December event with them. PE Arni Magpayo of RC Timog came to the August 24 meeting of RCHS purposely to give an overview on how such tournaments are organized and conducted including attendant costs involved as well as revenues that may be generated. PE Arni announced that tournament tickets would be available by the 2nd week of September. Also on hand to offer pointers were DGN Francis Rivera and PN Teody Bersola, both from RC Timog, Chair David Kim of the Sports Committee, a top-notch golfer and pride of RCHS, will be working closely with PE Arni and his team to ensure that the golf tournament turns out to be a success not just as a fund-raiser but as an opportunity to build close relationships with RC Timog. Proceeds of the event will fund the various community service projects of the two clubs.
RC Holy Spirit to support sister club RC Marikina North in a medical/dental mission

Book-giving project is expanded

RC Holy Spirit turned over 1500 textbooks and various reading materials to five (5) public schools in Quezon City last July 3, 2011. Each school got about 300 books for their libraries. The books were all donated by SM Foundation Inc through the representation of Health & Wellness Chair PP Dr Roger Belleza. SM Foundations Project Manager for Outreach Programs, Mr Bob Navida, has agreed to expand the project to cover up to 100 beneficiary schools in furtherance of the foundations education & awareness program for the youth which includes, among others, Todays Reader, Tomorrows Leader campaign and free college scholarships. RCHS has been regularly cooperating with SM Foundation in medical missions and Christmastime gift-giving for poor families. Photo below shows RCHS Treasurer Marcia Salvador turning over the books to Mrs Emely Pelobello, principal of Dona Juana Elementary School in Bgy Holy Spirit, while SPED Head Teacher Ms Gloria Tatad and the school librarian watch.
Rotary clubs join hands in book-giving project

Forty-eight (48) clubs in District 3780 have joined RC Holy Spirit and project sponsor SM Foundation to help ensure that books from the foundation are distributed to needy public schools nominated by the participating clubs in accordance with their respective literacy programs. The books shall be turned over by the SM Foundation to the clubs and their beneficiary schools at 2 PM on Friday, September 2nd, at the Don Antonio Heights Clubhouse in Holy Spirit. Lt. Governor Duke Zuluaga of RC New Manila East has volunteered the use of his truck to support RCHS in transferring the goods from the SM warehouse in Quiapo, Manila.

AG and Service Committee Chair Linda Palattao reported that RC New Manila East has consented to help RCHS conduct a milkfeeding program for 100 malnourished children sometime in September. This feeding program will be held at the Dona Juana Elementary School where a similar feeding program for 50 children was held in September 2009, also with the support of RCNME. Meanwhile, in November, RCHS will collaborate with the UST High School 1970 Medical Mission Society in a medical/dental mission for the residents of Payatas. It will be recalled that the first such collaborative mission was conducted in November 2008, also in Payatas.

Trustee Chairs August 2011 Message

The Rotary Foundation supports your Rotary service
A few months ago, Lorna and I attended three district conferences. The conference programs featured several Rotary Foundation activities, and we heard from Ambassadorial Scholars, Rotary Peace Fellows, Group Study Exchange teams, and representatives from a number of excellent projects in which Rotarians and the Foundation have worked together. I reflected on how much our Rotary Foundation is woven into the fabric of our Rotary service. After the conferences, I went directly to a meeting of the Future Vision Committee. The committee heard from one of our RI senior managers, who had tested the process of applying for grants and found the global grants application to be too complex. We also discussed the definition of basic education within the areas of focus, possible strategic partnerships, and training for those districts not in the pilot. There were many other topics, but I mention these to demonstrate that there are big items and small items that need attention as we work our way through the pilot. We are all experiencing some frustrations as we build the Foundation for the future. The three years of the pilot will seem a long time for many of you, but we are shaping something that should help us serve humanity more effectively in the years ahead, and we need to test that we are getting it right. From that meeting, it was straight into the Finance Committee meeting, where senior staff and trustees spent a day and a half working through the budget to ensure that our operating costs could be as low as possible while still giving you the service you need. Our aim is to ensure that we spend the maximum amount on programs.

Rights of women and children featured in July 13 meeting

The guest speaker at the clubs regular meeting last July 13 was Ms Salvacion Shiot Pascual, noted researcher, writer, and lecturer on womens and childrens rights. Shiot spoke lengthily about Republic Act No 9262 otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act of 2004. The act underscores the need to protect the family and its members especially women and children against violence and threats to their personal safety and security. Shiot cited disturbing true-to-life cases of violence where women and children suffered from physical/sexual violence, psychological/emotional harm, and economic/financial abuse. The discussions were made even more informative as former barangay chair Rtn Neneng Valmocina related actual cases of violence against women and children happening within our own community. Among those present during the meeting was AG Rose Imperial who expressed interest in inviting Shiot to assist in her clubs outreach programs in Loyola Heights.

RI Presidents August 2011 Message

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary, There is an old saying in India: When you help your neighbors boat across the water, you find that your own has reached the shore. By helping others, we often find that we have helped ourselves as well. Each of us came to Rotary to serve and found the joys and satisfactions of friendship and fellowship. In August, the month we dedicate to membership and development, we focus on spreading the message of Rotary. By serving well, without hiding our Rotary light under the proverbial bushel, we find ourselves closer to our own goal: a stronger, more vibrant Rotary for generations to come. Public image and membership go hand in hand. Too many people intelligent, educated, involved people simply have no idea what Rotary is. This is something we need to confront. We have heard again and again about communities where, despite all the good work that Rotary clubs do, many people are unaware that those clubs even exist. This is not the way forward for our organization. Serving well is the essential first step but it is only the beginning. We have to raise our profile with all the tools that are available to us, and there are more tools today than there ever were. We have to use social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and we have to be sure our clubs have an online presence. Having a website is not enough; it must be up to date, it must be appealing, it must reflect the work we are doing. And it must offer a way for prospective members, once they see what we do and become interested, to take the next step. Rotary has so much to offer. It is up to us to let others know what a fantastic organization we have, and to show people how they can integrate Rotary into their lives. Service does require time, and time is something nobody has enough of these days. So we need to ensure that all the time we spend with Rotary is worthwhile that it is rewarding and never wasted. When we reach within ourselves and our clubs, when we learn what we are capable of and harness that power, we will elevate our communities as never before and elevate Rotary as well. Kalyan Banerjee - President, Rotary International

Foundation Trustee Chairs July 2011 Message

Lets work together to make 2011-12 a great year
I am excited, and I hope you are too, as we move into the new Rotary year. Our clubs and districts have new leaders, and weve set new goals for the year ahead. Everything we appreciate in Rotary remains constant, but the people and roles change. Similarly, our Rotary Foundation has new trustees and a new chair, but our mission remains the same: to enable Rotarians to advance world peace through the improvement of health, support of education, and alleviation of poverty. This year, weve set three goals for the Foundation not to replace our vision for the future, but to give us focus for the year. Our first goal is to complete the eradication of polio. We took great steps forward in 2010. We cannot relax, however, as the outbreaks in Tajikistan and the Republic of the Congo remind us. Each of us can make a contribution to this, the greatest achievement in the history of Rotary. Our second goal is that every one of us should feel that we own The Rotary Foundation. We can do that through our service and our contributions. This should be our Rotary Foundation. The third goal is to make our Foundation more effective and efficient by testing and refining our Future Vision Plan. After a very positive first year, we need the pilot districts to tell us what works and what could be improved, and to develop new ways to serve. This also will be a preparation year for non-pilot districts. Think now how your district structure will change and how you will make decisions on grants and audits. The strength of The Rotary Foundation, our Foundation, is not determined by the trustees. What we can do is determined by you. Please support us, and together let us make 2011-12 another great Rotary year. Bill Boyd Foundation Trustee Chair

Rotarians and teachers cheer up Special Education pupils and their parents
Last July 1, 2011, the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit joined other Rotary clubs in the Philippines as they cheered up children by sponsoring parties in public schools and communities. RC Holy Spirit held its childrens party at the Dona Juana Elementary School in Barangay Holy Spirit for fifty Special Education (SpEd) pupils. Presently, there are close to 100 SpEd pupils in the school with various disabilities: hearing impairment, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism, dyslexia, developmental disorder like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). SpEd children danced, sang, and participated in parlor games during the party. The two-hour program was handled by the five dedicated SpEd teachers: Master-Teacher-in-Charge of SpEd Ms. Gloria C. Tatad, SpEd Coordinator Ms. Dorothy M. Alcantara, Ms. Mary Ann O. Dator, Ms. Rhoda B. Padya-os and Ms. Joan R. Jarcia. Mr. Rene Delgado served as Master of Ceremony. School Principal IV Ms. Emely M.

Dona Juana Elementary School has always been in the scope of the clubs community service initiatives. Last March, RCHS donated two desktop computers with printers for use by the SpEd teachers. The school has a student population of close to 7,000.
New RI Presidents July 2011 Message

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary!
All of us in Rotary are looking to change the world why else would we be Rotarians? We believe that our world can be happier, healthier, and more peaceful, and that we can create that better world through our service. In 2011-12, I will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity. I will ask you to search first within yourselves, to understand that all of us, everywhere, have the same dreams, the same hopes, the same aspirations, and similar dilemmas. When we understand, and truly feel, that others needs are the same as our own, we begin to understand how important our work is. In the year ahead, we will have three emphases in our Rotary service. Our first emphasis in this Rotary year will be the family. The family and the home are at the core of all our work all our service begins here. And through the family, we approach all of our community and indeed, all of humanity, as an extended family, in which all members care for each other. In times of joy and in times of need, no one is ever alone. Our second emphasis will be continuity finding the things we do well and taking them to the next level. We must build on our successes, expand on them, and strive to do even more. Of course, our greatest obligation is to PolioPlus, where success is now so close. And our third emphasis will be change. We must understand that true change can only begin with each of us, and start within us. We cannot share peace with others if we do not have it to give. We cannot look after the whole world without first looking after those closest to us: our families, our clubs, and our communities. Mohandas K. Gandhi said, You must be the change you wish to see in the world. In Rotary, we endeavor to live ethically and honestly, to share friendship and fellowship, to see equal worth in every human being. We are not interested in the lowest common denominator, for Rotary is anything but common. Instead, we work to elevate ourselves, elevate others, and thereby embrace the world. Together, we will Reach Within to Embrace Humanity . And in peace, harmony, and friendship, we will bring change and a more joyful world.
RC Holy Spirit continues to reach within to embrace humanity
