ctober is the month of Vocational Service, one of the five (5) avenues of service.

There are many ways to serve through this avenue, and you will read about some of them, in the October issue of our GML. It is important, that one of the goals, within the strategic priority of Enhancing Public Image and Awareness, is to emphasize Vocational Service. Enhancing Public Image and Awareness, leads to more members and again, to more service projects, contributing to an even better public image. All of the work we do, in giving career guidance to our high school and college students, to educate children, to improve mental health, to help families live healthier lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of this is vocational service. Our youth and adult programs, are a very important part of this Avenue of Service. We must remember, that the youth of today, are the leaders of tomorrow. By helping to develop young leaders and bringing younger members, into our prestigious organization, we strengthen our communities and Rotary's future. Yours in Rotary, Tony

Vocational Service - the Forgotten Avenue of Service? By Per Hylander Rotary Coordinator, Zone 16

ctober is the month of Vocational Service. I am increasingly focusing on how we could make better use of the huge competences that are represented in our various vocations. Not nursing our “network of inspired individuals” for the benefit of ourselves, but for the benefit of our local communities. One of my numerous Rotary moments happened the first time I observed a vocational service project in Finland as the RI President’s representative at a district conference. It was a project named “Ticket to the Future” dedicated to young people ages 15-16. The project provided them with good skills and competences for the benefit of their future vocational career. It is quite natural that one of the goals within the strategic priority of Enhancing Public Image and Awareness is to emphasize vocational service. As such, it may contribute effectively to the “magic circle”: Enhancing public image and awareness leads to more members and again to more service projects, contributing to an even better public image. In my first year as RC I set a goal to increase the number of clubs that emphasize vocational service and their public image. I am not sure that I was entirely successful, so this year I repeated the goal. I decided to identify the vocational service profile of the districts and use any opportunity to promote vocational service as a relevant public image tool. I was pleased to read President Sakuji’s message in the October issue of The Rotarian from where I quote, “The goal of a person doing business is not only to earn a living. The purpose is to be a contributing member of the community, to make the community stronger, and to help make other people’s lives better.” We have to see vocational service and community service as a whole. In that way, our horizons may be broader than just inviting good speakers from business life and nursing our own internal network. Let us not forget that Rotary is Service Above Self – and not “about self.”

What is Vocational Service? Vocational Service Month October 2012 Ariel Jersey District 3790 Dear Rotary Jersey:

Celebrate Vocational Service Month by considering doing some of the following:

October is Vocational Service Month. When someone asks you what vocational service is, what do you tell them?

• Conduct a RYLA event with special emphasis on ethics.

Vocational service can be expressed in many ways, and for this reason it is often misunderstood. It connects with the other Avenues of Service (Club, Community, International and New Generations), but is a unique concept based on Rotarians’ diverse professional skills and commitment to integrity.

• Join us on Twitter for #RACtalk on 18 October to discuss vocational service among Rotaractors.

The Rotarian Action Group of Dental Volunteers pairs American and Ecuadorian dental school students to provide dental services to people in remote areas of Ecuador. This is vocational service.

• Host a career day or job fair to help community members who may be out of work.

The Rotary Club of Amritsar North, India has developed a Tailoring and Dress Design Training Centre for young girls from underprivileged families. The girls are given job training and employment upon completing the sixmonth program. This is vocational service. The Rotary Club of Durham, NC, USA hosts an annual ethics luncheon to discuss current topics relevant to people with an interest in innovative applications to service projects. This is vocational service, too. Vocational service is: Ÿ Using your professional skills to serve others Ÿ Promoting job training and professional development for others Ÿ Exemplifying integrity and high ethical standards in your work

As a District Vocational Service District Chair, you are in the prime position to educate Rotarians about the importance of vocational service in our service endeavors – and this month is the best time to do it. Read the action items on the right-side column for tips on involving clubs in your district in vocational service, either as a supplement to their current service projects, or as a new program of its own. Happy October! Warm regards, Beth Santos Program Coordinator, Rotary Service Rotary International Rotary.Service@Rotary.org

• Encourage the clubs in your district to post their vocational service projects on Rotary Showcase to share ideas and expand our Rotary network. • If your district is a Future Vision pilot district, consider developing a Vocational Training Team to learn more about your vocation or to teach local professionals about your expertise. • Consider using your expertise to mentor a younger generation. See the Rotary Student Program of St. JosephBenton Harbor for ideas. •Work with a Rotarian Action Group (RAG) or a vocationally based Rotary Fellowship with expertise in your area of interest to provide vocational training to a community in need.

Rotary International 2012-13 President Sakuji Tanala

RI President's monthly message, October 2012 Dear fellow Rotarians,

very Rotarian is different. Every Rotarian was drawn into Rotary for different reasons, and many vividly remember their first “Rotary Moment” – the moment when they went from being members of their Rotary clubs to being committed Rotarians. I love hearing these stories and learning about what drew each Rotarian into Rotary. For some, it was a Rotary office, a particular project, or a convention. For me, it was a speaker at an ordinary weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Yashio, about two years after I’d joined. I am a charter member of my club, and I was invited to join by the charter president. I had never heard of Rotary, and at the time, I didn’t really know what service meant. But I was new to Yashio. I had just moved there from Tokyo, and I didn’t know many people. I thought Rotary would be a good way to make friends and to help my business, and I respected the person who invited me, so I joined. But to be honest, for the first two years, we didn’t do much. Every week, I came to my meeting, I ate lunch, and I listened to a speaker. I paid my dues, and I gave money to The Rotary Foundation. But I wasn’t involved in any service. I didn’t know what Rotary service was supposed to be.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

That all changed one week, when we had a speaker who talked about vocational service. This was a new idea to me. Until then, I had never thought much about the purpose of my life, or why I was in business. I was too busy working. I was always focused on my business, and on how to make it larger and better. I never stopped to consider any deeper purpose of my work. Understanding the idea of vocational service completely changed my attitude toward my work, and toward my own purpose in life. I realized that the goal of a person doing business is not only to earn a living. The purpose is to be a contributing member of the community, to make the community stronger, and to help make other people’s lives better. When I understood this, and understood the concept of Service Above Self, it changed my life – and set me firmly on the path to a life of Rotary service. That is my Rotary Moment. Sakuji Tanaka President, Rotary International

Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair's monthly message October 2012

A new approach to vocational service and training

Wilfrid J. Wilkinson Rotary Club of Trenton Ontario, Canada (2009-13)

n 2013, all districts will have the opportunity to support vocational training teams (VTTs) with Rotary Foundation grants. These teams of Rotarian and non-Rotarian professionals will travel abroad to meet a humanitarian need, either by teaching local professionals about a particular field or learning more themselves. VTTs, like Group Study Exchanges (GSEs), can be sponsored by district grants, which have no area of focus requirements. Districts 6200 and 9600 used district grants to organize a VTT exchange dealing with the environmental impact of oil spills. VTTs can also be sponsored by global grants. Some districts have expressed disappointment that the Foundation will no longer support the GSE program. However, many districts have had difficulty finding professionals who meet the program requirements, forcing the Foundation to grant dozens of exceptions to the GSE guidelines every year. Under Future Vision, districts can still sponsor such activities through district grants and search for partners on the District Grant VTT Partner Forum on LinkedIn. Unlike GSEs, VTTs have no restrictions on participant age or length of training. They also offer an opportunity for the hands-on activity with lasting impact that many GSE participants have requested. The GSE program established the Foundation’s commitment to vocational training; VTTs are taking that commitment to a new, more dynamic level. I encourage every district to take advantage of the humanitarian service that can be generated by a VTT, once Future Vision is fully introduced on 1 July. This doesn’t mean that your Foundation won’t allow GSE teams. They will still be funded, but with the money allocated to the district, and only when the district committee feels that it will be a meaningful exchange.n July, I outlined the goals that your Rotary Foundation has set for 2012-13. In August, I emphasized that while it is essential to have goals, we can't achieve them without a plan. Many clubs and districts are off to a flying start and have both goals and a plan, and I offer them my sincere congratulations. However, nearly 50 years of experience in Rotary suggests to me that a much greater number are only starting to plan now. I would like to offer some ideas. Every club should have a meeting that highlights the good work that our Foundation is doing. Perhaps it is a report on a recent Matching Grant project, Group Study Exchange, or vocational training team, or a talk by a former Rotary Peace Fellow or Ambassadorial Scholar. Perhaps Rotarians in your club or district have participated in a National Immunization Day and have seen firsthand the work to End Polio Now. After you have made the case for our Foundation's work all over the world, it is essential that you ask for both physical and financial support. How about discussing local Foundation projects? Inviting every member to contribute? Inviting non-members to contribute? Presenting the opportunity to become Paul Harris Fellows, Major Donors, and Bequest Society members? Perhaps your meeting on the Foundation will be so effective, it will inspire an individual to become a member of the Arch C. Klumph Society. My request is that every Rotarian do something, and more important, encourage others to do something. The world needs Rotary, but Rotary needs like-minded people to join us as we continue Doing Good in the World. Wilfrid J.

The Plan

FUTURE VISION

n anticipation of The Rotary Foundation’s 100-year anniversary in 2017, the Trustees set out to develop a plan to move the Foundation toward its second century of service. The plan reflects the desires and interests of Rotarians worldwide to give the Foundation a more sustainable and visible impact in the world. The plan is simple and flexible, allowing Rotarians to apply for grants online. The Future Vision Plan is intended to Ÿ Simplify Foundation programs and processes consistent with the mission Ÿ Focus Rotarian service efforts where they will have the greatest impact by addressing priority world

needs that are relevant to Rotarians Ÿ Offer funding options to help achieve both global and local goals Ÿ Increase the sense of ownership at the district and club levels by transferring more decisions

to the

districts and their member clubs Ÿ Advance understanding of the Foundation’s work and enhance Rotary’s public image

The Grant Structure

o simplify the grant-making process, the Future Vision Plan offers only two types of grants: Rotary Foundation District Grants and Rotary Foundation Global Grants. Together, these grants will allow clubs and districts to carry out a broad spectrum of humanitarian and educational efforts, both locally and abroad. District Grants Rotary Foundation District Grants are block grants made to districts to support activities that fit within the Foundation’s mission. Districts can use these grants to fund scholarships, support vocational teams, sponsor volunteer service, provide disaster recovery assistance, and carry out community and international service projects. District grants allow flexibility to Rotarians in carrying out grant activities and are fully funded through District Designated Funds. Global Grants Rotary Foundation Global Grants support larger projects with sustainable, high-impact outcomes within the six areas of: Ÿ Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Ÿ Disease prevention and treatment Ÿ Water and sanitation Ÿ Maternal and child health Ÿ Basic education and literacy Ÿ Economic and community development

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

Clubs and districts can either create their own global grant projects or sponsor packaged grants developed by The Rotary Foundation in collaboration with strategic partners. Club-and district-developed grants will receive a funding match from the Foundation. Packaged grants will be fully funded by the Foundation. The minimum total project cost for each global grant is US$30,000. Rotarians can develop a variety of global grant activities that may take the shape of a humanitarian project, a scholarship, a vocational training team, or any combination of these activities: Ÿ Humanitarian projects supporting the goals of the areas of focus will produce measurable outcomes that will benefit the targeted community long after grant funds have been expended. In addition, the community, as well as the sponsoring clubs and districts, will be actively involved in all stages of the project. Ÿ Scholarships will support international, graduatelevel study for a term of one to four years. The scholar’s academic and professional goals must further the goals of their selected area(s) of focus. Ÿ Vocational training teams* will either provide or receive training within the areas of focus. Team size and composition, as well as professional background, are variable; however, each participant’s career goals must be linked to the area(s) of focus. *VTT replaces GSE program.

Facts about Vocational Training Teams A vocational training team (VTT) is a group of professionals who travel to another country either to learn more about their profession or to teach local professionals about a particular field. Under Future Vision, Rotary Foundation district, global, and packaged grants all support VTTs, but each grant type has different requirements.

Benefits of VTTs VTTs build on the Foundation’s long-standing commitment to vocational training, first formalized with the establishment of the Group Study Exchange program in 1965. VTTs take the GSE concept of enabling young professionals to observe their profession in another country a step further by offering participants the opportunity to use their skills to help others. Hands-on activities vary from one team to the next but may include training medical professionals on cardiac surgery and care, sharing best practices on early childhood education, or explaining new irrigation techniques to farmers. A successful VTT increases the capacity of the host community to solve problems and improve the quality of life District Grant VTTs Requirements: District grant VTTs must support The Rotary Foundation’s mission to promote goodwill and peace, improve health, support education, and alleviate poverty. Team composition: The district may determine the composition of the team to include Rotarians and nonRotarians of any age. Focus and the length of the visit: Determined by the sponsors. The districts may decide, for example, to incorporate some cultural and social activities along with hands-on training or to sponsor an exchange with the partner district. Budget: Determined by the sponsors. Global Grant VTTs Requirements: Global grant VTTs must align with one or more areas of focus, build the capacity of either the team members or the benefiting community, and have a sustainable and measurable impact. The VTT must be sponsored by Rotary clubs or districts from two countries. The grant may support the travel of more than one team. Team composition: Teams must consist of at least two members (either Rotarians or non-Rotarians) with at least two years of professional experience in the designated areas of focus and a Rotarian leader who has expertise in the area of focus, international experience, and general Rotary knowledge. In certain cases, the Foundation may grant permission to designate a non-Rotarian as team leader. There are no restrictions on the age of participants. Length of the visit: Determined by the sponsors Budget: At least US$30,000

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

Packaged Grant VTTs Requirements: All packaged grants are carried out with a strategic partner, who defines the general scope of activities within one or more areas of focus, develops the relationships with the local professionals, and ensures that the outcome will be sustainable. Rotarians build the VTT with Rotarian and nonRotarian participants who have the appropriate skill set for the training. For example, working with the strategic partner Mercy Ships, Rotarians assemble teams of medical professionals who perform or assist in life-changing surgeries and provide skills training to local health care professionals. Team composition: Similar to that of a global grant VTT, except that the leader must be a Rotarian Budget: The Foundation and the strategic partner pay all costs associated with the training. Finding an International Partner Foundation staff do not assist districts in finding partners for VTTs. Rotarians are encouraged to identify needs and find partners through ProjectLINK, the District Grant VTT Partner Forum on LinkedIn, and matchinggrants.org/global, or by developing relationships at international Rotary meetings or project fairs.

DISTRICT AND CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS

n the right hand side of the Tagus (the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula), Lisbon is a major European city, with a metropolitan area containing up to 2.5 million people (which means that 1 in 4 Portuguese people live in the Lisbon area). Lisbon has justly won three of the 2009 World travel Awards for Europe: Europe's Leading City Break Destination,Europe's Leading Cruise Destination and Europe's Leading Destination. These are just some of the reasons why you simply cannot miss one of the most charming cities in the world: LISBON! It seems that the city’s name stems from a Phoenician expression, “Alis-Ubbo”, which means “serene harbour”. In fact, Lisbon was

built around the immense Tagus’ mouth. Although the river’s mouth is quite large towards the west, it has a large gulf that gives it a somewhat oceanic quality. It was always a good port and it still is one of the most important ones in Europe today, but it is also good for a great variety of nautical sports. Lisbon is connected to the south by two very characteristic bridges, engineering masterpieces which give the capital a particular charm.Lisbon has a dozen different faces, of different urban landscapes, each and every one with its own urban rhythms and lifestyles. With an undulating topography, many of its monuments are seen from afar on top of their hills. It has seven hills, all of them densely urbanised. Some say that Lisbon is, architecturally speaking, a white city, which gives it its markedly Mediterranean character. Lisbon has a very good transport network, especially its underground lines, abundantly decorated with artworks: each station has its own colour scheme and theme. Lisbon is also dotted with the picturesque yellow electric trams, whose trajectories are of great tourist interest.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

This is a very sophisticated, complex and cosmopolitan city. It has always been like this, with people from all around the world walking its streets. It has an unrelenting appetite for culture, hosting a multitude of events, and dozens of attractions, theatres, night-life spots, football stadiums, churches and museums. You have no time to get bored in Lisbon.

HELLO ROTARY: An Information Packet on Rotary Basics

istrict Governor Tony C. Bautista has released copies of Hello Rotary: An Information Packet on Rotary Basics last Sept. 15, 2012 during the Rotary Leadership Institute in Tarlac City for distribution to all clubs in Rotary District 3790. The packet features Cliff Dochterman's ABCs of Rotary, a compilation of articles on Rotary basics, and other information. The ABCs of Rotary is divided into 26 parts, each representing a lesson to be covered during a Club Meeting. The Club President assigns each lesson to a presenter who will present the same to his fellow members during a designated time in the meeting. It is hoped that at the end of 26 meetings, every Rotarian in the club would have gained more knowledge about Rotary or would have reviewed Rotary facts that may have been forgotten over time. It also aims to develop confidence in Rotarians to invite others to join in the task of promoting Rotary's motto of Service above Self. Each Club is enjoined to incorporate this material in their meetings. A lesson monitoring list is included to make assigning of topics easier. The packet also includes an abridged version of how to apply for a Matching Grant written by PP Glo Nethercutt. More information sheets will be added to this folder within the next weeks. For your Club's copy, kindly get in touch with your Assistant Governor. Peace to all! PP Virgil Garcia District Secretary

D3790 IS 100% SAR PAYMENT COMPLIANT

http://www.endpolio.org/

Service Award for a Polio-Free Nominations Wanted! Dear District Governors,

From: DG Oyan Villanueva [mailto:oyan_villanueva@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, 3 October 2012 10:51 AM Subject: SAR Payments as of October 2

The Service Awards for a Polio-Free World allows any Rotarian to nominate any other Rotarian. This award recognizes those who have performed outstandingly in support of polio eradication.

Dear Rotary Leaders,

Nominations are due on 1 November. Please email them to polioplus@rotary.org or fax to 847-556-2189. Attached please find the nomination form and criteria. These documents are available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. Please let me know if you'd like me to forward them in any of those languages. Thank you for your support of PolioPlus. Regards,

The SAR payments and submissions of the Philippines as of October 2, 2012 was at 82%. Please expect the clubs that were not able to submit their SARs on time will not be able to reflect their true July 1, 2012 starting figures and consequently have billing disputes. Let us all congratulate District 3790, headed by DG Tony Bautista, for having achieved 100% payment by September 28, 2012. I believe that this might be a world breaker.

Regina RodrĂguez-Martin PolioPlus Coordinator The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International 1560 Sherman Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 USA Phone: 847-866-3305 Fax: 847-556-2189

ONLY SERVICE SINCE 1 NOVEMBER 1992 CAN BE CONSIDERED Service: Explain in detail what the nominee has done which merits recognition as being an active, personal, non-financial contributor to the eradication of polio; why it has been outstanding; when it was performed. If the nomination is being made for an international level award, explain why the service is broader than that confined to a single WHO region.

he delegates from Rotaract Club of Metro Baguio University of Baguio Chapter attended the District Rotaract-Interact Assembly at the Tarlac Events Center, Tarlac, Tarlac with the theme of New Generation: Young Advocates for Peace. Although the weather was gloomy, it didn't deter the spirits of the delegates who were willing to be young advocates for peace. The representatives of the Rotaract Club of Metro Baguio were warmly welcomed as they were able to have their morning snacks first the time they just arrived at the venue. The assembly started off with the introduction of guest, dignitaries and the District Officers of the District 3790, Rotary Clubs and Rotaract Clubs followed by a welcome remark by the President of the Rotary Club of central Tarlac. With this, the father of Tarlac, Mayor Gelacio Manalang rendered a warm welcome to the delegates from the different regions. Then, an inspirational message was given followed by the District Governors's Address by District Governor Antonio Bautista.

After the delegates had a break, a speech entitled “Bringing out the greatest generation of Filipino Youth” was given out by Atty. Alexander L. Lacson, the Chairman of the KaBayanihan Foundation. In his speech, it made the delegates aware that the Filipino people are the most beautiful people, not in terms of aesthetics but in terms of attitude, the delegates also learned a lot about the Filipino nation. On the other hand, Dr. Grace Hasegawa, of the Tarlac State University made the delegates realize more about their selves with her presentation entitled K 2 B ME, which was selfawareness and values education, which left some of the delegates in tears, but they truly learned a lot. A break out session was organized by which the different delegated from the Rotary, Rotaract and Interact Clubs would be separated according to their clubs. Rotaractors excitedly entered the seminar hall.

Being under the Rotaract, the Rotaract Club of Metro Baguio was clustered with the different Rotaract Clubs of the district. In their Division, Past President Abner Tayco educated the rotaractors about

DRIA experience continued

Another speaker, Past President Alex Laguisma educated the rotaractors about effective project planning and implementation. In his speech, he shared his experiences on the planning of different programs in his field of expertise of engineering that is in the sanitary landfill. With that, he showed the rotaractors the changes that might happen to the Philippines in the future if we do not care for the environment. After the breakout sessions, there was an awarding and recognition for the different clubs presidents and especially the largest delegate that attended the assembly. Having the number of 24 delegates, the roataract Club of Metro Baguio garnered the award of being the largest delegate who attended the assembly. After the awarding, the delegates were able to go home full with new knowledge not only about the Rotary Club or Rotaract Club but also about the nation, about life, about themselves and especially being young advocates for peace.

The program was joined by Interfaith spiritual leaders (Catholic, Buddhism, Muslim and Hinduism), students of the Mabini Elementary School, Interact and Rotaract youth groups, representatives from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP), and all those who strive hard to make peace as a means of living in accord and happiness.

Most donated money to the pool but this writer donated 10 doz. slippers. With differing schedules and the decision to purchase the goods to be given away in Divisoria to get the least price and maximize the number of beneficiaries, it took some time to schedule the gift giving. However, it finally happened last Saturday, 06 October 2012 at Purok 17, Brgy. Tabun, Angeles City.

Sharing One's Blessings By IPP Herman Sumadchat Rotary Club of Balibago

The night before right after our regular weekly meeting, the members gathered and repacked the goods consisting of alcohol, tooth brush, toothpaste, hand towel and slippers. Too, some chichiria for the kids. Personal care items were chosen as we believe keeping the residents healthy makes them productive. 200 individual bags were made ready for distribution. On the day itself, Pres. Lito Mercado was ably assisted by his wife, Brgy. Captain Alma Mercado who got the residents organized with the beneficiaries bearing pre-numbered stub. Too, Asst. Sec. Doren Cruz was there as well as CP Roger Santos, PP Roger Tamayo, Rtns. Mer Serrano, Maricar Magsino, Ely Naguit, Eddie Pelayo with wife Pearl and Leonor David who just arrived from a trip in Japan. They were at site at about 9am and took another 30 minutes to set-up. Nonetheless, with only 200 individual bags to give away, they were done in 30 minutes. It was just another day in the life of a Rotarian trying to make a difference.

red fire engines, trucks and pedestrian Overpasses”

hen my beloved Rotary Club of Baguio comes up with something new in the club, it most likely will catch my interest, attention and participation. Our Service to Community needs new and different projects to sustain the enthusiasm of our members, and this "Adopt an Overpass Project" is one of them, I feel.

who gathered a half a dozen young people who turned out to be Interactors of Baguio City High School, Science section, classmates of Rtn Jun Bondoc's kids. Baby and company also brought in all the brushes with handle, Zonrox disinfectant, powdered soap and scrubs, tabo, pails and pansit merienda with juice for everyone.

This "Adopt an Overpass Project" seemingly came quite as a surprise, only discreetly announced via a text message. Club Secretary Baby Kaur, dutifully sent a text a day before the holding of the event, encouraging all to join in on the cleaning of our adopted overpass at the Magsagsay Ave, Abanao Street, Harrison Road intersection. Then, the following day during our regular rotary meeting, Rtn Glenn Flores again repeated the call for club participation from the podium, saying as a matter of fact, that we already had something like a hundred people signed up to help out in cleaning the said overpass. And so this is when I said "okay, count Maya and me in", just because it was something that we have not really done before. Indeed the kid somewhere still in me REAWOKE, reminiscing and remembering the times during childhood when playing and wading in water and getting wet to getting fully soaked, was a whole lot of FUN.

We were also given a huge box of Burger MacDo with the violet colored printed wrappers coming from MacDonald's Hotel Veniz. Another big group were the Rotaractors and Barangay Lucnab officers who came in with Marticio Paguli in one long jeepney. Rtn Jun Cardona, Fery Malit and her painting contractor brother Dick Malit, EIC Marcel Badua and Rtn Gary Lo Ang were present, Rtn Glenn Flores came complete with scaffolding, heavy duty generators to run the spotlights, and his very own working crew providing the muscle and manpower needs. PE Uwe, PP Bert Talco, PP Mike Pearson along with daughter Gabby Pearson, VP Chris Faelnar with son Ico Faelnar in toe, Maya and yours truly were all busy (is this the truth????) doing their share of the cleaning, or maybe to put it more correctly, doing their share of the playing!!!

President Libby Fernandez was at her busiest, because she did her utmost best to go from one group of volunteers to another, encouraging them on and thanking them for pitching in, in this endeavor organized by the club. And by no means it was a small task because we were doing the whole length of the G-shaped overpass. But a big task always becomes lighter and much more manageable with everyone offering a helping hand, and towards this end, the likes of the Sunshine Volunteer Fire Brigade truck of the del Rosarios were there, our own Baguio City Fire Protection brought in their big red fire engine truck, to supply all the needed water to wash away the grim and dirt of the overpass. Recognition also has to go to enthusiastic Rotarian couple Mark and Gail Flores who brought in pressure pump sprayers and their own kasama, Rtns Peter Wasing and Karl Flores who brought over a complete cleaning retinue from their respective barangays, the triumvirate of Jun, Baby and Lani

less is MORE Feeding Program at Lindawan Elementary School Barangay Lucnab gigi maranan director, public image

res Libby asked me to write something about the last day of the program. With all due respect Pres, I was pondering over what to write, I asked myself, “What is so significant about the last day?” Well, the last day wraps up everything we have covered I suppose, but being there the first day to the last is the experience itself and it is priceless. Life is a bit tough and times are hard nowadays especially for the underprivileged, less fortunate members of our society. RCB identified Barangay Lucnab as one of those communities as such and adopted it for the club's community service on a longer basis. For many years now our club members indefatigably continue to do various projects and programs like our most recent one, 'The Feeding Program at Lindawan Elementary School, Barangay Lucnab'. The concern of the club mainly is for the undernourished children of the barangay to learn to adapt to a healthier lifestyle spending less for more and better nourishment; and secondly for parents to learn how to feed their children with nutritious yet affordably healthful food. Thanks to the committee on Health and Hunger for this bright idea and for giving me the opportunity to exercise my duty not only as a member of the committee but for having been able to have fed my soul in such a simple and small way even though it was tedious. I can still vividly recall the first time I joined the feeding program last year and was deeply moved seeing PP Veeh's profound dedication to the program. To be part of it is one thing but involving all the members of his family into the program (last year) is another story and it has inspired me to the core.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

Most of the time we do things because it is being called for, like a task to be completed and a duty to be performed but doing it by heart without anything in return spells the difference. Seeing little children fed and satisfied with the food we prepared is a wonderful sight but in their eyes, the presence of people who are concerned for their welfare make them feel better and important. This I guess enhances substance to our cause. It is priceless when you see small children smiling to their heart's content receiving their bag of goodies. One day I was late and this little child asked me, “Why are you late?” to my amazement I didn't know what to say only my heart silently said, “now I feel some sort of an effect in her life”. That statement makes the whole experience significant and that is priceless! Anyway, the last day of the program was just like one of those 21 days, but what made this day special for the children is that we gave them a special treat of non- veggie diet, distributed bag of goodies to each child, and they also drew lots on who would bring home the remaining uncooked rice. Thank you RK gabby for the special treat of cake you gave. Finally, by way of a report to our club, only 3 parents were constantly present with us the whole duration of the 21-day period though some would come to help cook, wash the dishes and other chores needed at that time. Salute to the parents for allowing us to be part of their children's wellbeing even for such a short time. Most parents attended the last day. Out of 48 children only 3 did not gain weight. The parents were given the recipes for follow through with their children's nutritional diet. Kudos to all! It was indeed a success! Again, Congratulations!

The Bahay ni San Jose Orphanage Library Project

Electronic Communication Leads to Aid Handicapped Children

ROTIan mates Sharon Irving and Glo Nethercutt

haron Irving of Courtlandt Manor Rotary Club in the state of New York, USA, contacted Gloria Nethercutt of RC Mabalacat in the Philippines about the possibility of building and equipping a library in the San Jose OrphanageM Nueva Ecija. It is run by the Dominican Sisters and located in Northern Luzon, Philippines

BEFORE AND AFTER

The place was outside Gloria’s district. But Gloria said, “What the heck; we are Rotarians, we go where we are needed.” After visiting the place, true enough, the children needed the help. The center has 60 wards deaf, mute, autistic, and plain abandoned children. A library had been promised to them for seven years by many individuals and organizations, but nothing was happening Sharon and Gloria met in Bangkok and planned the funding. The plan prospered, and as construction engineer, Gloria chaired the project. The on -site work started on 29 August and finished on 7 September, a 10day work where six construction workers were lodged in the orphanage. The story of the six workmen was unique. They aged from 26 to 46 and stayed for ten days in a dorm room in the orphanage which was located between rooms for the handicapped and deaf/mute. Day in day out they saw the same children. After a day or so, children followed them around and watched their work. After a while, a child would attach to one workman and would call him "papa." Soon, the 6 workers had their own "adopted child" and allowed themselves to be called “papa.”

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

WHAT MAKES GOOD NEWS

In one of Gloria’s visits, she noticed a deaf-mute teen helping in sanding the shelves. One workman said the teen was his "adopted" who wanted to help. The teen even hinted to the worker that i t was ok to "take him home" if "papa" wanted. The worker said, “You are better off here kid. You have many mothers.”

and kids in kiddie section of the library

At one time, she saw the carpenter foreman working with one hand and holding a 2-year old in his other hand and said, “Hey, you cannot work like that.” The foreman answered, “It is just for a while, my ’adopted’ wanted to watch me work.” She also saw another workman leaving his work to "visit" his adopted. Gloria thought, “As long as they get the work done, they can enjoy their temporary families.”

PP May Shilton, Rtn Bles Madla, PE Manny Asis, President Elmer Hernandez, orphanage directress Sr Irene Panganiban and PP Tony Shilton holding a banana toy, at the TV station of the library

The following week, several Rotarians from RC Mabalacat went to the orphanage to deliver and install the remaining provisions for the library - multimedia equipment, computers, toys and books for the children’s section of the library. That day, 12 September, was the inauguration of the lib rary, and the completion of one more step towards Rotary’s work to help those that are not able to help themselves.

The hardest thing was the goodbye time when the construction finished. The sad look on the faces of the ‘adopted.’ They were already inside the vehicle when a 3-year old shouted "papa!" One of the workers got down, went to the child and asked, “\What do you want, hon?” And the child replied, “ I am thirsty, please give me water,” said the child. The man got his own water bottle from the car and gave it to the small child. They all knew that the kid just wanted to delay the departure of the working team. The kids were waving their hands as they moved on, trying not to cry. The workmen were very quiet and looked as sad as the children. Gloria said, “I believe the workers all had their own personal thoughts. Perhaps their sadness was balanced by the joy of the working with the young children of San Jose Orphanage. The library will remain as a pleasant memory long after the workers have left.” The new library is cool and very neat, a radical transformation from its former dreary state.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER September 2012

The project is a blessing resulting from Rotarians meeting through The Rotarians On The Internet or ROTI, an official Fellowship of Rotary International. That meeting, half a world away, led to meeting face-toface with discussions in New Orleans, Louisiana USA, and Bangkok, Thailand, to make life better for needy and deserving children. Thanks to Sharon Irving of Rotary District 7230 in New York, USA and Rotarian Gloria Nethercutt from District 3790 in Luzon, Philippines, the great workers, and The Rotary Foundation, something was left behind for the children in need.

et me just tell you how one of our matching grants was developed. See our Bahay Ni San Jose Orphanage Library Project in page 44. Our friend, Sharon Irving, in Rotarians On The Internet (ROTI) contacted and requested me to do a project for the orphanage in Nueva Ecija, which our club did and finished in 10 days. The partners and beneficiaries were so happy that Sharon (who incidentally is a district officer and Rotary Community Corp guru, having delivered lectures in international conventions) agreed to work out a Skill Training Center, and another MG, a Scholarship Project, for our club. Below is her appreciation email sent to ROTI: Sharon Irving <hudsonriverlady@aol.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [ROTI] A Library Project for Special Children Let me just add that if it were not for Gloria & Ron who traveled two hours out of their way to help us this would NEVER of happened. Unfortunately for unknown reasons our original local Rotary contacts there did not follow through. We started to think the project (headed in our club by a native who returns there each year for her vacation) would not get done. Other Rotary clubs had promised to help this orphanage in the past and it never got accomplished. Our club didn't want that to happen again, we had told the Sister there we would help. Thankfully ONLY because of ROTI we were able to reach out to them, not knowing the distance or districts at the time. Both Gloria and Ron feel like I do ... when we say we'll do something we do it regardless of the complications or obstacles. They made it happen ... they changed lives of some of the most needy children. It is an honor to know them and call them friends! My gratitude to both of them and to ROTI ... without any piece of this puzzle it never would of worked. This is why I joined Rotary ... because we can do anything, anytime due to people like Gloria and Ron out there who can always be counted on! Thank you ROTI for making dreams come true with the help of our members around the world!!! Many, many special Thank You's to both Gloria & Ron ... our club loves you both!!!

friends

...sooner or later, you are going to hit something, reach a common ground to work together... and it is just a beginning. It will be up to you to make it lasting.

have a club website if you do not have one, then just send your data, news, articles, project photos to our GML, and you will be read globally, because our GML is published in the Web.

attend international conventions and don’t just go shopping! Bring your bizz cards, Rotary cards, club banners/brochures/bulletins, and exchange them with other Rotarians who are also looking for friends like you.

...And lastly, to make and keep friends mean - - - that you have to talk for a while and start to like each other. And then you can build your dream project... After all, Rotary starts as friendship, that develops into a community work.
