In commemorating the National Day of Reading or Araw ng Pagbasa on November 27, 2012, RC Holy Spirit joined other clubs in RID 3780 in simultaneously reading to select classes of grade school pupils in their respective adopted schools. Leading the nationwide celebration was President Benigno Noynoy Aquino who read before a class at the Teodora Alonzo Elementary School, and later answered questions from the students.

Holy Spirit President Marcia read the first story of the Super Pinoy Kid komiks before 54 Grade IV pupils of Dona Juana Elementary School (DJES). The story centered on Ang Batang Makakatotohanan, the first value of the Four-Way Test. The children also listened to a teacher from DJES tell a story with illustrations and pictures.

Rotary Club of Holy Spirit
Mobile: 0919-665-3430 Email: mdcsalvador@yahoo.com Club meets every Thursday, 7 PM at the Don Antonio Heights Clubhouse
Rotary clubs around the globe have many things in common, including a commitment to service. All year long, clubs are taking action to make a difference in their communities. Heres a roundup of recent club activities.
Australia More than 50 Interactors from District 9710 gathered at Laurel Hill Forest Lodge in June for a weekend of learning and camaraderie at the district Interact conference. The Interact Club of Tumbarumba, chartered in 2011, hosted the event. The Interactors, together with exchange students from Belgium, Brazil, and Canada, learned to build an outdoor survival shelter and discussed topics such as bullying. They also found out about local and international Interact club projects and used Skype to talk with exchange students in Sweden and Switzerland. Canada The Stampede Roundup is an outdoor music festival in Calgary, Alta., that features artists from around the world. Its also the Rotary Club of Calgarys largest fundraiser. The 17th annual festival was held on 11 July and attracted a record 17,500 people. The event, which netted more than C$250,000 this year, benefits terminally ill children at Albertas first pediatric hospice. Performers at this years Stampede Roundup included the Tragically Hip, Matthew Good, and 54-40. England In the depths of last winter, Terry Williams, of the Rotary Club of Swindon North, decided to pitch a ShelterBox tent in the town square and live in it for a week. Williams endured seven nights of below-freezing temperatures to raise funds for and publicize ShelterBox, a nonprofit started by British Rotarian Tom Henderson. Williams received visitors from local schools and his Rotary club, and nearby businesses provided warm meals. By the end of the week, Williams, who had aimed to raise 3,000 for ShelterBox, had brought in over 8,000. He donated a portion of that amount to the End Polio Now campaign. Mexico In Mexico City, home to more than 8.5 million people, municipal water resources are often strained. Heart 2 Heart, a project of District 4170 (Mexico) and seven districts in Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee, USA, has installed clean water systems in over 50 schools there. Steel tanks holding 2,640 gallons of water are connected to a schools internal plumbing system to provide clean water for drinking and hand washing. Local Rotarians organize the construction and delivery of the water tanks, which cost $3,500 each and should last up to 40 years. Area club members also assist with installation and plumbing, and train school officials in maintenance. The government fills the tanks weekly, at no cost to the schools or Rotarians. Heart 2 Heart plans to install tanks at an additional 50 to 60 schools. Tanzania People who send or read text messages while driving look away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. At 55 miles per hour, thats all the time it takes for a car to travel 100 yards, or the length of a football field. The Rotary Club of Dar-es-Salaam, in
association with Tanzanian police and private companies, organized a monthlong public service campaign in March to warn motorists about the dangers of using phones while driving. The club printed pamphlets and bumper stickers with the slogan Driving + Phone = Death and worked with police and Home Affairs Ministry officials to distribute them. The slogan also appeared on a billboard, and local radio stations broadcast a jingle created for the campaign. USA Run-down and plagued by gang violence, Closter Park in Salinas, Calif., will soon get a makeover with the help of local Rotary clubs, as well as clubs in India and Mexico. The Rotary Club of Salinas is leading the project, which aims to make the park a safe haven for families. Rotarians installed benches, picnic areas, and a gazebo and are organizing youth activities and cultural events. The clubs have raised about $450,000 in cash and in-kind donations. Venezuela Rotarians in the city of Barquisimeto, concerned about a growing incidence of HIV/AIDS, worked with local physicians to develop a curriculum for high school students on the risk factors associated with sexually transmitted diseases. Basing their program on one started by the Rotary Club of Cortland, N.Y., USA, to prevent teen pregnancies, members of the Rotary Club of Barquisimeto-Nueva Segovia trained student leaders to teach and mentor their classmates. As part of the effort, all students are urged to be tested for HIV. The program has become a model for Rotary clubs in Colombia, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico, among other countries.
