RCHS & partners cheer up 300 kids in annual Christmas program

In a joint project with SM Foundation Inc and the Don Antonio Heights Homeowners Association, RCHS brought joy to 300 children aged 7-12 at the covered court of Don Antonio Heights last November 19, 2011. This years Make a Child Happy project had been an early Christmas treat for the children from families living in depressed parts of Barangay Holy Spirit The kids enjoyed fun games and prizes. Even the Rotarians present had fun watching the children play, sing and dance. At one point, PP Doc Roger Belleza was swamped by the kids when he asked for the dirtiest pair of slippers during the Bring Me game. On hand to assist in the fun-filled activity were members of the Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Holy Spirit, as well as students from the University of Makati who were brought in by SMFI. Each of the 300 kids brought home a gift from SMFI. Snacks for the kids, event organizers and volunteers were provided by RCHS, Carryboy Inc, and DAHHA Director Mrs Isabel Kim of KIMBEL International.

RI Presidents December Message

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary,
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.

Plans are finalized for the PDG Pete Morales Cup on December 9

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.
