OFFICIAL WEEKLY PUBLICATIO� OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF MAKATI SA� LORE�ZO

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THEME IN 2009-2010

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

ROWENA “Jing” SARAO

My Dear RCMSL Family,

We had a simple and yet very meaningful MAPSA Awards

last week. As you all know, we have been doing the

MAPSA Awards for 13 years already and it started during

the time of PP Celia Cuasay. I would like to thank Dir.

Odette Ong for organizing the MAPSA awards this year.

Our club did our share in helping the victims of Typhoon

Ondoy. Last October 2, 2009, we distributed around 300

relief goods with RC Metro East Taytay at Lupang Arenda.

Members who went to the relief operation braved the knee

deep water just to reach out to our fellowmen. After

Lupang Arenda, we went to Ynares Multi-purpose covered

court to distribute around 150 relief goods to other victims

of the flood.

IPP Chacha also organized a relief mission in Calawis

Antipolo since there are families there affected by

landslides. We distributed relief goods, old clothes and

medicines. Calawis is where we will be implementing our

3H Grant Project.

Last October 2, RCMSL join forces with RC Taytay Metro East

for a joint relief operation at Lupang Arenda, Taytay Rizal.

Lupang Arenda is a settlement near the Laguna Lake. Rotarians

braved the knee deep water just to reach out to more than 500

families. We distributed food, water and old clothes to the

beneficiaries. The water is not expected to go down until about 3

months. Kudos to Pres. Jing and Pres. Eric!

Brgy. Calawis, Antipolo

RCMSL and family members distributed relief goods

to Calawis, Antipolo. We had to make a detour of 20

minutes because the bridge leading to Calawis was

down.The roads were bad but we got there safely.

Along the way there were so many landslides that it

caused part of the road to erode. But everything was

worth it all after seeing the happy faces of the

Dumagats, Lemontados and the other residents of

Calawis. Thanks to Rafa Garcia, Mara Villavicencio,

Rissa Cortes and Cotton Villavicencio who came with

RCMSL members PP Chacha Camacho, Marie

O'Connor, Eugene Gonzales and PP Maridel

Rotary International News -- 7 October 2009

(EVANSTON, Illinois, USA, October 7, 2009) – Members of Rotary, one of the world’s largest humanitarian service

organizations www.rotary.org, are providing urgently needed relief to those affected by natural disasters in the Philippines,

Samoan Islands and Indonesia.

As a community-based organization made up of business and professional leaders, Rotary is working through its clubs at

the grassroots level to provide aid and assistance — both immediate and long term — to those impacted by these

disasters. Examples of early Rotary relief efforts include:

• Life-saving shelter, food and medicines to those impacted by the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that struck

Sumatra Island on 30 September. Rotary clubs in Australia and New Zealand donated 10-person tents containing

blankets, water purification, cooking equipment and other essentials in cooperation with ShelterBox. An

international disaster relief charity supported by Rotary clubs around the world.

• Food, water, shelter and clothing to those impacted by Typhoon Parma in the Philippines, which slammed into

the country on 3 October. Local Rotary clubs distributed 700 relief packs composed of rice, sardines and instant

noodles, and 300 ShelterBox tents were set up in the country’s mountainous northern region.

• Emergency relief to victims of a tsunami, which struck the Samoan Islands on 30 September, following a

series of earthquakes. Two-hundred Emergency Response Kits, each containing basic necessities such as blankets,

food, clothing, cooking utensils and tools, toiletries, medical supplies and even candles and matches. Rotary clubs

in New Zealand partnered with Air New Zealand to donate these kits – worth a total of US$55,200 in aid. Rotary

clubs in New Zealand are also running an appeal for disaster relief funds. Those wishing to contribute can make

donations through the internet to Westpac 03 1702 0192208 02, or by check made payable to RNZWCS Limited

and posted to PO Box 20309, Christchurch, New Zealand 8543.
