DGE Francis Rivera talks on Future Vision Plan and new grant model
New Grant Model for Future Vision
The Rotary Foundations new grant model supports district and club humanitarian and educational projects through three types of grants: District grants are block grants that allow clubs and districts to address immediate needs in their communities and abroad. The district manages and disburses the funds to support district- and clubsponsored activities, including vocational training teams, scholarships, and humanitarian service projects, provided they are aligned with TRFs mission. Global grants, which range from $15,000 to $200,000, fund large international humanitarian projects, vocational training teams, and scholarships that have sustainable, measurable outcomes in one or more of the areas of focus. Global grants must be sponsored by two clubs or districts: a host partner in the country where the activity takes place and an international partner outside the country. Packaged grants allow clubs and districts to work with Rotarys strategic partners to implement pre-designed projects. Six areas of focus for the new grant structure: 1. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution 2. Disease prevention and treatment 3. Water and sanitation 4. Maternal and child health 5. Basic education and literacy 6. Economic and community development

It was a very informative meeting last September 13, 2012 when RC Holy Spirit had as guest speaker DGE Francis Rivera who spoke on the Future Vision Plan of The Rotary Foundation which takes effect during Rotary Year 2013-14. He discussed at length the six (6) areas of focus for service projects which are an integral part of the Future Vision Plan. His comprehensive power-point presentation included potential projects under each of the six areas of focus as well as suggestions on what Rotary clubs could do to address problem areas and where The Rotary Foundation could give vital financial support. Finally, DGE Francis announced that the forthcoming Golf Tournament on October 26 will be a collaborative fund-raising project for RC Timog and RC Holy Spirit, as well as to raise funds for incoming DG Francis and help defray expenses of the PEs of both clubs during the PETS in Cebu next year. This will be the second golf tournament to be jointly organized and promoted by Timog and Holy Spirit.

RI Presidents September Message

Dear fellow Rotarians, Many of you know that we now have five Avenues of Service in Rotary. The fifth, and newest, is New Generations Service. There are many ways to serve through this avenue, and you will read about some of them in this months issue. All of the work we do to educate children, to improve maternal health, to help families live healthier lives all of this is service to New Generations. We also serve New Generations by working to eradicate polio, helping to ensure that future generations of children will be born into a polio-free world. Our youth and young adult programs, such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange, 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 clubs, we strengthen communities and Rotarys future. For most of my life, I have been a salesman. I learned long ago that being a good salesman is not enough. You must also have a good product. If you are a good salesman, you will make the first sale. But if you do not have a good product, you will make only the first sale. You will not make the second. It is not enough to bring new members into Rotary. We want them to stay. We want the new, young members to become long-time members. We want them to be Rotary leaders in 10, 20, or 30 years. How do we do this? We have to look at our product. We have to look at Rotary not with our own eyes, but with new eyes. When we invite a new member to join and that persons answer is no, we should ask why. This is not to pressure someone into joining. It is to find out more information. What are the obstacles to membership? Is it an inconvenient meeting time? Is it too much of a time commitment? Is it something else that we have not thought of? We need to ask questions, and we need to open ourselves to the answers. We cannot say, No, we will not do this, just because we have never done it before. Why not have child-care at a meeting? Why not involve families in projects? Why not make attendance requirements less strict, or meet less often? Our new Avenue of New Generations Service is an important step in ensuring many future generations of Rotary, and of Service Above Self.
Sakuji Tanaka, President - Rotary International

Young Interactors and the newly installed 4-way Test marker are at the forefront of Literacy and Peace at Holy Spirit National High International Literacy Day
The theme of International Literacy Day September 8, 2012 is Literacy and Peace. This theme was adopted by the United Nations Literacy Decade (UNLD) to demonstrate the multiple uses and value that literacy brings to people. Literacy contributes to peace as it brings people closer to attaining individual freedoms and better understanding the world, as well as preventing or resolving conflict. The connection between literacy and peace can be seen by the fact that in unstable democracies or in conflict-affected countries it is harder to establish or sustain a literate environment. Education brings sustainability to all the development goals, and literacy is the foundation of all learning. It provides individuals with the skills to understand the world and shape it, to participate in democratic processes and have a voice, and also to strengthen their cultural identity. Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director General Why is Literacy important? Literacy is a human right, a tool of personal empowerment and a means for social and human development. Educational opportunities depend on literacy. Literacy is at the heart of basic education for all, and essential for eradicating poverty, reducing child mortality, curbing population growth, achieving gender equality and ensuring sustainable development, peace and democracy. A good quality basic education equips pupils with literacy skills for life and further learning; literate parents are more likely to send their children to school; literate people are better able to access continuing educational opportunities; and literate societies are better geared to meet pressing development.

RC Loyola Heights D3780 launches Books for Peace project in conflict areas
Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends, We are pleased to share with you the latest issue of the Loyola Star (September 17, 2012). Please note that in this issue, we placed a special focus on a new project which we launched this RY. It's called "Books for Peace." This is not the usual book donation drives of most clubs. What makes this effort unique is that, we concentrate on sending these books to "Conflict areas" in Mindanao (Southern Philippines and the Cordilleras (Northern Philippines). These are areas which are practically inaccessible to most civilian and even governmental institutions due to ongoing military operations. There are however schools in those areas which have been neglected because of the peace and order situation. We have sent textbooks in July and August as a joint initiative between the RCLH and the Armed Forces of the Philippines Civil Relations office. Lately, the schools there (some in former rebel camps) have been requesting for reference books like used encyclopaedias, dictionaries, etc. (second hand books are acceptable) as these areas do not enjoy the benefits of internet. Therefore, we have been trying to gather these types of books the past few weeks. Any help from our friends will definitely be appreciated by the marginalized school children in these areas. Yours in Rotary, Morris Agoncillo President, RY 2012-2013 RC Loyola Heights RID 3780 Jesse Tanchanco LOYOLA STAR Editor

With some assist from Holy Spirit, RC New Manila South D3780 helps upgrade literacy level of high school students in Sapang Palay
Hi Pres. Marcia, We were able to deliver the 20-volume Groliers encyclopedia set last Sept. 07 to San Martin High School in Sapang Palay, San Jose Del Monte Bulacan. The Principal Mrs. Belen de Jesus together with the 4th Year students lined up at the school ground to welcome us. The school has 1,594 high school students. They have 18 sections, having school classes in the morning and afternoon sessions. Each class has 85 to 90 students. The First year group has 6 sections; Second year has 5 sections; Third year has 4 sections; and Forth year has 4 sections. The principal, co-teachers and students express their gratitude to the Rotary Club of Holy Sprit Peace President Marcia Salvador for the extraordinary effort in donating the set of Encyclopedia to RC New Manila South that served as a connecting link to St. Martin High School. The students and teachers can now have research assignments to explore and expand their knowledge in various fields of education. Thank you very very much my classmate Pres. Marcia and the Rotary Club of Holy Sprit, for being true Rotarians that adhere to our motto Service Above Self in the field of Basic Education and Literacy, and lets move forward to our future endeavors. Please send my regards to my classmate IPP Pedrito Ped Condeno. Please see attached photographs. Your Classmate, George Chua Uy RC NEW MANILA SOUTH

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary

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.
