PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

ROWENA “Jing” SARAO

Dear RCMSL Family,

Last week was an equally busy week for all of us. After all

the relief operations in Taytay and Calawis, we decided to

also donate books especially to the schools affected by

the flood. We went to 4 schools in Taytay namely:

Bagong Pag-Asa Elementary School, San Isidro

Elementary School, Taytay Elementary School Unit I and

Taytay Elementary School Central. San Isidro Elementary

School is the most affected school wherein most of their

books in the library were damaged by the flood. The

estimated cost by the Principal and the librarian is about

700,000 pesos. The books we donated were courtesy of

Books Across the Seas (BATS) of RC Makati.

We also distributed around 300 relief goods with RC Metro

East Taytay to student in Taytay Elementary School

Central who were affected by the flood. You can see in

the faces of the children how happy they were when they

received the little help we extended to them.

Some pictures of the event last October 10 were also

submitted to RI as contributions to Rotary Day in Photos.
