RC Holy Spirit and partners led by President Abet Sevilla launched 120-day milk feeding & nutrition program to save 50 “severely wasted� Grade 1 pupils from malnutrition
On September 6, 2019, RCHS President Abet Sevilla signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Ms Marilyn Mabale, Administrator of the National Dairy Authority (NDA). The MOA states, among others, that NDA will fund the Milk Feeding Program of the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit on a 60-40 cost sharing basis. The program consists of providing pasteurized choco-flavored milk to 50 pre-identified severely malnourished Grade I pupils of Dona Juana Elementary School (DJES) on a continuing and regular basis for a period of 120 feeding days. On September 11, 2019, DJES Principal Dr Gerry Isip signed the MOA in the presence of Pres Abet and NDA Milk Feeding Coordinator Joshua Lomuntad. As stipulated in the MOA, Mr Joshua conducted an orientation seminar on
September 16, 2019 on the value of milk and the role of all the parties concerned with the implementation of the Program. Immediately after the orientation, the Milk Feeding Program was launched at the covered court of DJES where 50 severely malnourished Grade I pupils were given chocolate-flavored milk and
spaghetti. Program Champion PP Beth Sy oversaw the feeding together with Feeding Teacher Coordinator Maam Lorna Corre. Assisting were President Abet, PE Jerry Sy, PP Ric Salvador, PP Marcia Salvador and some parents.

Holy Spirit Interact team shines in the 1st Public Speaking, Debate and Argumentation training workshop The District Interact Committee organized the first training workshop on Public Speaking, Debate and Argumentation on September 28, 2019 in partnership with Debate Without Borders, an organization of top high school debaters. The workshop was held at the Gardner College Annex that culminated in the first-ever Debate Tournament of D3780 Interactors. In the morning, participants numbering 115 from 26 Interact clubs listened to the engaging talk of Mr Alfonz Vincent Chopitea on the topic of Public Speaking. Mr Chopitea is the International Baccalaureate English teacher at Xavier School Greenhills. Speaking on Debate and Argumentation was Atty Jesus Falcis who has coached the Philippine team to the World Schools Debate Championships since 2010. The participants were then grouped into teams of five (5), each group composed
of Interactors from different schools. These groups had pocket tournaments and were judged to determine semifinalists. In the final round, two groups were judged finalists. The adjudicators were high school students from International School Manila, Xavier School, Ateneo de Manila University and St Paul College who were members of the national team that represented the Philippines in the World Schools Debating Championship where our country finished 17th. The groups were given challenging motions like “College Education is the key to a Successful Life”, Should the Filipino Language be removed as Primary Teaching Language?”, “Women should use Violence against Street Harassment”, and “Is Forgiveness Acceptable for Heinous Crimes?” Accompanied by Adviser Maam Beth Auxillo, the Interact Club of HSNHS was led by President Justine Sembrano who made it to the finals as a
member of the Champion Team, called Team Hagdan, coined so because they held their deliberations on the stairs. The other members of the winning team came from Access Computer College, Lagro High School, Jose V Palma Senior High School, and Carlos P Garcia High School. It was a very relevant, informative training session for both the Interactors and Advisers. It was evident that they came away with not just learning, but FUN as well. As one adviser said of her Interactors, “pakiramdam daw nila sila na ang pinakamagaling sa school”. The event was hosted by RC New Manila West led by Youth Service Chair Boone Ongchoco and Interact Club of St Francis Xavier Novaliches led by President Eaton Sia. District Interact Chair PP Marcia Salvador has received numerous requests to make this an annual event.

Timely idea for environment protection, community service and fund-raiser
Students Recycle Plastic Bags to Make “Plarn” Blankets By Ma Fatima Garcia October 2nd, 2019
What if you can find a way to help save the environment by recycling plastic bags and be able to help the indigents as well? Wouldn’t that be awesome? Colorado Lakewood High School senior Shelby Tillema found a way to create a club that wouldn’t just help the environment but will also aid the homeless. The inspiration In an interview, Shelby Tillema explained that she saw a news report about “Bev’s Bag Brigade,” a group of women who are able to produce hundreds of “plarn” mats for the Volunteers of America since 2009.
able to reuse plastic grocery bags. The Plarn Club Plastic bags are harmful to our environment, an estimated 100 billion plastic bags are being used each year and each one can take more than 500 years to photo-degrade in a landfill according to the Center of Biological Diversity.
A plarn is basically plastic yarn, which these women crochet into warm mats that they donate to Volunteers of America.
We’ve seen how many marine animals mistakenly consume plastic bags thinking that they are food; we’ve also seen how these plastic bags contaminate our environment. Did you also know that an average family in the U.S uses more than 1,500 plastic bags a year?
Each year, they are able to produce hundreds of plarn sleeping mats and at the same time, they are
“You take recycled plastic grocery bags or just any plastic bags and you cut them into strips, and tie

those strips together and that makes this thing called plarn, plastic bag yarn,” president Shelby Tillema shared to JPS-TV. Once the plarn has been created, some of the students will then crochet them into sleeping mats. These sleeping mats are actually comfortable, surprisingly soft, durable and water-resistant. What better way to spend the afternoon than to recycle plastic bags to help the environment, create something beautiful with it and donate to indigents who need them!
Or sell some to others as club fundraisers.

Every year, we have to vaccinate more than 450 million children in up to 50 countries to prevent the spread of polio from the endemic areas. In addition to the children in Pakistan and Afghanistan, we are immunizing children all over Africa and Asia. So we have to have a lot of people out there to help immunize, and that costs money. We have to have the vaccine, and that costs money. And we have to maintain and pay for sizable quantities of vaccine in case of an outbreak, and that costs money. Then we have to investigate about 100,000 cases of paralysis each year to rule out polio. We have to continue surveillance — looking for cases of polio to be sure we are not missing cases in certain areas.

We will need Rotarians to make direct donations as well as to advocate with their governments and other groups for their support so that we can continue to do all of the immunizations and surveillance we’ve been talking about. Rotarians in countries where active polio eradication efforts are underway need to continue helping with these efforts and immunizing children. They need to keep advocating with their governments to continue to support polio eradication.

People of Action Around the Globe The Rotarian magazine. October 2019
Nicaragua About 300,000 Nicaraguans are permanent residents of Costa Rica. To help bring together a nation riven by political turmoil, the Rotary Club of Ciudad Sandino and the Rotary Community Corps of Nueva Vida, which it sponsors, created a peace-building workshop designed to encourage civil discourse. Trained moderators led the three-day workshop in November, which cost the club only $250. “The facilitators told their own experiences of solving conflicts non-violently through humor and creativity,” says club member Becca Mohally Renk. The 25 participants from the Rotary club and the RCC played games designed to reinforce peacebuilding strategies and discussed examples of how they employ empathy in their personal lives.
United States Every year, Greg Asimakoupoulos, a member of the Rotary Club of Mercer Island, Washington, watched as participants in his Rotary club’s annual charity half-marathon ran past the front doors of the church where he was the lead pastor. In 2010, Asimakoupoulos cancelled Sunday morning services on race day and asked the congregation to consider getting involved as volunteers or athletes. About 200 of the 300 churchgoers participated. When Asimakoupoulos moved to a new position as chaplain of a retirement home in 2013, he recruited residents there to support the race as well. He sees it as a demonstration that “faith groups and Rotary can work together on a bigger vision.”
Ghana Rotarians and Rotaractors in the Accra area have hit the beach with a campaign to clean up the shoreline along the Gulf of Guinea. For five years, the Rotary clubs of Accra-Spintex, Tema Meridian, and Tema-Sakumono have teamed with the Rotaract Club of Regional Maritime University to collect garbage along the coast between Accra and Tema, a town about 18 miles east of the capital. In April, dozens of volunteers converged on Sakumono Beach, where local fishermen sometimes net more trash than fish. Besides helping the environment and benefiting the fishermen, the effort heightens the area’s tourism potential, says Accra-Spintex club member Prosper Edem Amevordzie.
Poland To help fund an education program on the dangers of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), the Rotary Club of Warszawa Zoliborz
has organized annual jazz concerts. At the 2019 event, renowned Polish jazz singer, composer, and violinist Dorota Mis´kiewicz was the headliner. At least 1 in 50 Polish school-children are affected by FASD, according to Polish government researchers. To address the problem, the Warszawa Zoliborz Rotary club inaugurated a program to educate women Image credit: Rotary club of Warszawa Zoliborz about the risks of consuming alcohol during pregnancy. The club distributed an informational booklet and held public events on International FASD Awareness Day, 9 September. The club’s Facebook page about the initiative targets educated, professional women, a group that is sometimes overlooked by similar outreach programs. “The subject of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders is very close to us,” club member Ania Markowska-Kejler says, because the club regularly works with a local orphanage. The club members, she says, “have seen firsthand the limitations caused by this syndrome.” According to a 2014 study, about 900 children in Poland are born each year with full fetal alcohol syndrome — the most serious, and irreversible, manifestation of FASD.
Malaysia Roughly 1,200 butterfly species can be found in Malaysia, and 33 species of birds are endemic to Sabah state alone. After a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Borneo in June 2015, the Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu mobilized to help local mountain guides whose income suffered when Mount Kinabalu was closed to tourism for several months. Led by club member Stephen Sutton, an entomologist and enthusiast of the rare Kinabalu bird-wing butterfly, the club provided training in ornithology and entomology for 10 local tourist guides. The club sponsored the first Sabah Kids Bird and Butterfly Festival and gave courses on birds and butterflies to residents who host travellers in their homes. The club hopes to nurture a sustainable ecotourism industry. — BRAD WEBBER This story originally appeared in the October 2019 issue of The Rotarian magazine. 13
