Rotary and DENR work together to build awareness and secure cooperation of community leaders to save Sierra Madre, longest mountain range, for the benefit of humanity Every September 26 of each year, the ―Save Sierra Madre Day‖ is celebrated by virtue of Presidential Proclamation #413, to help boost awareness among the general public on the importance of preserving our forests as well as protecting, managing and properly utilizing the natural resources of the country. Last September 26, 2017, RC Holy Spirit Rtn Abet Sevilla and his spouse Mary Ann hosted the annual celebration in the family’s farm in Camp Martyr, town of Bongabon, Nueva Ecija province.
Fifteen (15) representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) offices in Aurora, Quezon, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan came to conduct a seminar on the preservation of trees & for-
ests, and shared suggestions on income-producing activities such as vegetable raising. Seventy (70) representatives attended the 3 seminars held that day. Most of them are leaders or chieftains of localities in the Sierra Madre mountain range located in the out-
lying provinces of Aurora, Quezon and Nueva Ecija. Some of those who attended shown in the pictures are members of a large indigenous tribe, the Igorots. After the seminar, a dialogue ensued which allowed the local leaders to discuss their problems, mainly the absence of livelihood opportunities that force them to sell wild plants, hunt wild animals and other prohibited or regulated acts. Also, the absence of educational and health care services compounds their daily problems. When the discussions were completed, delicious snacks were served to all who attended. The Sierra Madre is the longest mountain range in the Philippines. Running in the north-south direction from the provinces of Cagayan to the north and Quezon to the south, the mountains form the eastern backbone of Luzon Island.

The Sierra Madre is the longest mountain range in the Philippines. In the province of Nueva Vizcaya, the Caraballo Mountains connect Sierra Madre Mountain range with the Cordillera Central range. The mountain range serves as a typhoon barrier, attenuating incoming typhoons from the Pacific Ocean before reaching the central mainland.[3] The Sierra Madre covers from Aurora, Bulacan, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Quezon, Quirino and Rizal province. 680 km (420 mi) North to South.

ROTARY YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE Interactors of Holy Spirit continue peer tutoring sessions to help improve schoolmates’ academic performance By President Shane Macabodbod, Interact Club of Holy Spirit. Mentored by Faculty Adviser Beth Auxillo and Youth Chair PP Marcia Salvador ducting their signature service project. Sixteen (16) Grade 7 students came, despite the heavy rains, eager to be given review lessons to prepare them for the upcoming periodical examinations.

Lessons in Science, English and Math were taken up, with Interactors assisting one another. Faculty Adviser Ma’am Beth Auxillo was present during the activity. So were TGP Ric Salvador and Youth Service Chair PP Marcia Salvador who observed and provided some guidance to the Interactors.
The purpose of the peer tutoring program has been to help students who have been identified and referred by their teachers for tutoring. It was a stormy Saturday afternoon on October 14, 2017 but this did not deter the Interactors from con-

During visit of Honorary Member & D3780 Membership vice chair AG Edmund Chiu, Holy Spirit celebrates admission of 3 members; now has 33 RI-registered Rotarians The October 3, 2017 regular meeting of RC Holy Spirit turned out to be a learning experience with the visit of Honorary Member AG Edmund Chiu who is District Membership Development Vice Chair for Region 5. AG Edmund is a staunch supporter of RCHS who, together with PDG Danny Fausto, helped bring back the club to life after a brief hiatus in its early years. AG Edmund discussed the District’s goals in the area of Membership Development, focusing on recruitment and retention. It was very timely that new recruits, Atty JL Torre sponsored by ASP Peth Rivera and Dr Pau Sicat sponsored by PP Linda Palattao, were present to demonstrate the club’s achievement of gaining a member below 40 years old and a female, respectively. A third recruit, Atty Isabelito E. Sicat sponsored by Rtn Chief City Prosecutor, could not make it to this meeting. All three new members of RC Holy Spirit have since been reported to Rotary International through the My Rotary portal. With three (3) new members, RC Holy Spirit now has 33 active members registered with Rotary International.
The message of PP Edmund was supplemented by a ―learning session‖ that highlighted key points in RI’s webinar, ―MEMBERSHIP: Its Now or Never,‖ and Simon Sinek’s video-discussion of the ―MILLENNIAL QUESTION,‖ where the best-selling author spoke on the challenges to prepare for when young professionals are recruited into an organization. Rotaract club officers led by TGP Lovely Rose Paalisbo discussed a forum project in development phase during the meeting. Before AG Edmund left, in his capacity as Honorary Member of RC Holy Spirit, he handed over his personal donation for the club’s ongoing milkfeeding & nutrition program at Dona Juana Elementary School, a flagship life-saving program now on its 7th year. Also part of his philanthropy to help less fortunate youth, PP Edmund has been providing free tuition scholarships to five (5) students taking up 2-year technical-vocational courses through the scholarship program of RC Holy Spirit.

October is Economic and Community Development Month in Rotary
Reducing poverty through economic and community development: How can we do that ? By Azka Asif, RI Rotary Service and Engagement Staff, October 2016 Globally, 836 million people still live in extreme poverty today. About one in five persons in developing regions lives on less than $1.25 USD per day. Global unemployment has increased from 170 million in 2007 to nearly 202 million in 2012, of which about 75 million are young women and men.
people, who could benefit from the knowledge of the older farmers. The training offers both practical instruction and theory, covering topics such as soil preparation, seedling production, cross-pollination, organic growing, and climate change. More on the story online here.
Providing vocational trainings
By supporting projects that focus on generating income and creating productive employment opportunities, we can reduce poverty. Providing income security and empowering women, people with disabilities, youth, and the extremely poor is essential to economic and community development. Rotarians worldwide are committed to reducing poverty through projects that provide people with equipment, vocational trainings, and work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities. Below are a few examples of Rotarians taking action.
The Rotary Club of Panaji in India conducted a vocational training program focused on training 12 women in stitching and tailoring. The workshop was conducted over a period of ten days for four hours a day to help women gain skills to be able to earn their own living and be financially independent. After the trainings, the women were each given sewing machines that they could use to start their own tailoring business.
Growing local economies
Strengthening local entrepreneurs
The Constantia Rotary Club helped set up a community garden and farm training center for young residents in Khayelitsha, the largest township in Cape Town, South Africa. The club is working with Abalimi Bezekhaya, a local organization that helps create incomeproducing gardening opportunities, and partnered with Rotary clubs in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany.
Based on a community needs assessment, the Rotary Club of Ikeja in Nigeria concluded that traders or other local entrepreneurs interested in growing their business did not have access to funding through local financial institutions. The club provided an interest free micro-credit loan to 20 beneficiaries to be used to enhance their businesses. After three months, those beneficiaries passed along the money to another set of 20 people. Over time, the revolving fund has assisted carpenters, tailors, barbers, hair dressers, various food sellers. Click for more stories . . .
How can we change that?
The garden yields many vegetables and herbs that supply Abalimi’s Harvest of Hope venture, which sells boxes of produce to middle-class Capetonians for a monthly fee. As the garden grew, a training facility was built for young, unemployed
Rotarians taking action to empower communities.
Street Vendors Welfare Program raises income, safeguards health of urban micro-entrepreneurs By Mercy Plata, President of RC St Ignatius, D3780 Quezon City, Philippines Marginal street vendors in the city are the target of a project of our group, the Rotary Club of St. Ignatius. The beneficiaries, who received attractive canopy-like umbrellas that protect them and their goods from sun and rain, would soon undergo informal trainings on how to improve their income and observe cleanliness through this newly initiated VENDORS WELFARE PROGRAM. The eventual outcome desired by St Ignatius is to make a significant, sustainable difference in the lives of street vendors essentially by helping them help themselves in improving income while safeguarding their health. The main article from RI Rotary Service was first featured in the GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY LETTER Oct 2016 when TGP Ric Salvador of Holy Spirit served as Editor-in-Chief of the GML.

September is Basic Education & Literacy Month while October is Economic and Community Development Month in Rotary
Barbershop buzzing with words: non-teaching vocation raises literacy By Judi Lembke, posted on GOOD NEWS SHARED, October 19, 2016 does so much for the kids during the school year. Because The Fuller Cut serves a diverse community the books available to read all feature positive images of AfricanAmericans, which could be an astronaut, an athlete, or a writer. This isn’t the first barbershop to do this, though; Griffin told NPR that he first read about a similar literacy program in Harlem, as well as similar initiatives in places like Iowa, Texas, and Ohio. Once he got the ok from his boss the father of three began bringing his own books into the shop and soon people in the area began donating books. Griffin told HuffPo, “And that‟s just how it started. It wasn‟t anything grand. I just wanted to be responsible.” With kids increasingly attached to their iPads, phones, and laptops how can we get them to read more books? It’s easier than you think. In Ypsilanti, Michigan a barbershop is doing its part to encourage kids to read. Here’s how it works: when a child gets their haircut at The Fuller Cut and reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut they get a $2 discount on the cut. Yes, it really is that simple: read your book aloud and you get a discount. Ryan Griffin, who has been cutting hair at The Fuller Cut for twenty years, initiated the Read to Your Barber program. He told the Huffington Post that parents love it, while the kids like getting the two dollars back – and that the two dollars often goes directly into the kids’ pockets. Griffin says teachers love the initiative – they say that it
While the initiative has attracted new costumers to the barbershop the best bit, according to Griffin, is that little kids who don’t know how to read watch the older kids – and then grab a book for themselves. “When a kid thinks it‟s cool to read, that‟s a gift,” says Griffin. “If we can get kids to come back to The Fuller Cut as adults in college and they tell us, „Because you guys had us read here, it made me want to be a writer or journalist,‟ that‟s really the end goal.” TAKE ACTION: Share this story on your Facebook page and Twitter account, who knows, it might inspire someone to do something similar! 9
The most important thing in the world By Jessica Compton, Rotary Global Grant Scholar to New Zealand, on June 23. 2017
SERVICE ABOVE SELF
The Four-Way Test OF THE THINGS we think, say or do
1) Is it the TRUTH? 2) Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Rotarian’s 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
As a child, I dreamed of teaching. But it took until my junior year of college to return to that dream. My undergraduate coursework had prepared me for the content, if not the pedagogical strategies, to effectively engage and teach adolescents English – reading, listening and viewing; writing, speaking, and presenting.
I figured I would pick up the rest of what I needed in graduate school in order to be able to teach. But I had no idea it would be in New Zealand. Through the benevolence of a global grant scholarship sponsored by District 7570, I earned a Master of Teaching and Learning at the University of Canterbury in 2016. The experience of living abroad in New Zealand was both memorable and lifechanging. Along with all the tramps (Kiwi lingo for hiking) in such a stunningly beautiful country, I learned to be a culturally responsive teacher. My courses and teaching placements intentionally focused on how to improve the learning experience and outcomes of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, predominately in Māori schools. Last year, I arrived quite ignorant, but ended up learning so much (―heaps,‖ as they say in NZ) about Māori culture, the fundamental importance of relationships in the classroom, and how to teach in a discourse of inclusion that benefits all learners. I think my living in New Zealand achieved ―the advancement of interna

tional understanding, goodwill, and peace,‖ which is Rotary’s fourth guiding principle. I understand a different culture; indeed, one that didn’t seem all that different on first landing. In teaching – and in all of life – seeking service above self, I have found one whakataukī, or Maori proverb, to ring particularly true: He aha te mea nui o te ao? (What is the most important thing in the world?) He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. (It is the people, it is the people, it is the people.) As I venture into this coming school year, may people and the building of relationships be the core of my teaching, service, and love. My deepest thanks will forever extend to both the Roanoke-area and Riccarton Rotarians for your partnership and support in aiding my career as an educator.

In historic shift, Boy Scouts expands girls' participation By David Crary, Associated Press, October 12, 2017 NEW YORK (AP) — In its latest momentous policy shift, the Boy Scouts of America will admit girls into the Cub Scouts starting next year and establish a new program for older girls based on the Boy Scout curriculum that enables them to aspire to the coveted Eagle Scout rank.
Among families already in the scouting community, the biggest worry, according to Surbaugh, was that the positive aspects of singlesex comradeship might be jeopardized.
Founded in 1910 and long considered a bastion of tradition, the Boy Scouts have undergone major changes in the past five years, agreeing to accept openly gay youth members and adult volunteers, as well as transgender boys. The expansion of girls' participation, announced Wednesday after unanimous approval by the organization's board of directors, is arguably the biggest change yet, potentially opening the way for hundreds of thousands of girls to join. Many scouting organizations countries already allow both and use gender-free names Scouts Canada. But for now, Scout label will remain.
in other genders such as the Boy
"There are no plans to change our name at this time," spokeswoman Effie Delimarkos said in an email.
gender, either all-boys or all-girls. The larger Cub Scout packs will have the option to remain single gender or welcome both genders. The program for older girls is expected to start in 2019 and will enable girls to earn the same Eagle Scout rank that has been attained by astronauts, admirals, senators and other luminaries. Boy Scout leaders said the change was needed to provide more options for parents.
Under the new plan, Cub Scout dens — the smallest unit — will be single-
"The values of scouting — trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example — are important for both young men and women," said Michael Surbaugh, chief scout executive.
Boy Scout Oath
Boy Scout Law
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
The three promises of the Scout Oath are:
Duty to God and country, Duty to other people, and Duty to self.
A Scout is 1. Trustworthy, 2. Loyal, 3. Helpful, 4. Friendly, 5. Courteous, 6. Kind, 7. Obedient, 8. Cheerful, 9. Thrifty, 10. Brave, 11. Clean, 12. and Reverent. Boy Scout Motto

"We'll make sure those environments are protected," he said. "What we're presenting is a fairly unique hybrid model." The Girl Scouts of the USA have criticized the initiative, saying it strains the century-old bond between the two organizations. Girl Scout officials have suggested the BSA's move was driven partly by a need to boost revenue, and they contended there is fiscal stress in part because of past settlements paid by the BSA in sex-abuse cases. The BSA recently increased its annual membership fee for youth members and adult volunteers from $24 to $33, but Surbaugh said the decision to expand programming for girls was not driven by financial factors. He expressed enthusiasm at the possibility that the changes could draw hundreds of thousands more girls into BSA ranks over the coming years. The Girl Scouts, founded in 1912, and the BSA are among several major youth organizations in the U.S. experiencing sharp drops in membership in recent years. Reasons include competition from sports leagues, a perception by some families that they are oldfashioned and busy family schedules.

MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS
RI President’s October 2017 Message Some years ago in the Melbourne, Australia, museum where my daughter used to work, an iron lung was on display. For most people my age who remembered the terrifying polio epidemics of the 1950s, that iron lung was a testament to how far vaccination had brought us: to the point where that once-critical piece of medical equipment had literally become a museum piece. For much of the world, the story of polio is a simple one: After years of fear, a vaccine was developed and a disease was conquered. But for some of the world, the story was different. In so many countries, the vaccine wasn’t available, mass vaccination was too expensive, or children simply couldn’t be reached. While the rest of the world relegated polio to its museums, in these countries, the disease continued to rage – until Rotary stepped forward and said that all children, no matter where they lived or what their circumstances, deserved to live free of polio. In the years since PolioPlus was launched, the combined efforts of Rotary, the governments of the world, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative have brought the number of cases of polio down from an estimated 350,000 per year to just a few so far in 2017. But we must reach zero cases, and stay there, to achieve eradication. To do that, we need everyone’s help. On 24 October, we will mark World Polio Day. It is a day to celebrate how far we have come and an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness and funds to complete the work of eradication. I ask every Rotary club to participate in some way in World Polio Day activities, and I encourage you to visit endpolio.org for ideas and to register your event. Whether you host a silent auction, a virtual reality viewing, a fundraising walk, or a Purple Pinkie Day, your club can make a real difference. This year, our World Polio Day livestream event will take place at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters in Seattle; you can watch it on endpolio.org beginning at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time. As many of you know, Rotary has committed to raising $50 million a year for the next three years. This amount will be matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation – effectively tripling the value of all money Rotary raises on World Polio Day and throughout the year. Let’s all make a difference on World Polio Day – and help End Polio Now.
IAN H. S. RISELEY President 2017-18
Foundation Chairman’s October 2017 Message .What do we mean when we talk about peace? In 1921, the fourth object of Rotary was established: "The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service." In Rotary today, we see peace not as an abstract concept but as a living, dynamic expression of human development, integral to our humanitarian mission. Much of our work for peacebuilding depends on the ability of Rotary members to execute three important activities: forming transformative partnerships, raising funds to support our many hundreds of projects, and recruiting and supporting Rotary Peace Fellows in their work. This year The Rotary Foundation formed a strategic partnership with the Institute for Economics and Peace, one of the leading organizations in identifying and measuring the attitudes, institutions, and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies. Through this partnership, Rotary will work with the institute to create an online learning portal for Rotarians and peace fellows to build on their current expertise, apply new methods, and mobilize communities to address the issues underlying conflicts. Our goal is to foster community-based projects in peace and conflict resolution that are practical and impactful. Rotary has also launched a Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts Initiative to raise funds for new partnerships while continuing to garner contributions to educate and support our peace fellows and more. President Ian H.S. Riseley's six peacebuilding conferences – taking place globally from February to June – will explore the relationship among peace, Rotary's areas of focus, and environmental sustainability. Our history proves that you don't need to be a diplomat to make peace. When you mentor a student struggling to graduate, you are a peacebuilder. When you launch any project to support economic development in your community, you are building conditions for sustainable peace and conflict management. When you support and collaborate with a Rotary Peace Fellow, you are advancing peace. Today's complex conflicts require more creative communitybased initiatives. Together we can really make a difference.
