President Angel Castro, YouthService Chair PP Marcia Salvador,fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors, In-teractors, Guests, Ladies andGentlemen,
Good Afternoon! I would like totake this opportunity to commendthe Rotary Club of Holy Spirit forbeing awarded as the Most Out-standing Club in Youth Service forthe past 2 years. Your labor is not
in vain. When you invest your time, talent and treasure on ouryouth, you also invest in the future of your Rotary Club and in thefuture of our country as well. And I think unti-unti nyo ng nakikitayan… some of your Interactors are already Rotaractors and whoknows, 5 to 10 years from now, your Rotaractors will be your fel-low Rotarians. It happened in our club and in other clubs whosponsored Rotaract Clubs, it will surely happen to you as well.
It is such a pleasure to be with you all on the occasion of yourJoint Induction. Rotaractors and Interactors, your sponsoring Ro-tary Club, the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit is so proud of you. Theyare all praises when it comes to the kind of service you extendand they are very glad that all of you are their partners in service.For that, give yourselves a round of applause. Alam nyo ba nakapag kasama naming mga Rotarians ang mga Rotaractors andInteractors, ay tumataas din ang energy level namin. Feelingyoung ulit kami . Feeling namin magkaka-batch lang tayo. Kaya
etong mga sasabihin ko sayo ay tipong payong kaibigan o na-kakatandang kapatid lamang . Just a few pointers that I hope you’llalways remember.
Since this is a Joint Rotaract and Interact Induction I want you toremember 4Rs and 3Is. Makinig kayong mabuti . May prizemamaya ang makakapagsabi sakin ng 4Rs and 3Is.
What are the 4 Rs you will learn or gain in this organization? FirstR is Respect. In order to get respect, you have to give it and not just to the elders and the higher-ups, but to everyone. You respectthe opinion of other people. Listening is one way of showing youare respecting the person. Lalo na ngayon, sometimes we are tooinvolved with our cellphone, na when someone is talking to us, wedon’t look at the person and listen. Oo lang ng oo minsan kasi
busy sa Clash of Clans pero pag tinanong mo kung naintindihanyung sinabi, hindi pala. So guys, do you understand what I’m try-ing to tell you about respect? Good! Diba masarap kapag pinakik-inggan ka?. And this also avoids misunderstanding kase whenyou are really paying attention, you can clarify or validate if tamaba pagkakaintindi mo.
Second is Responsibility. You will have a sense of responsibilitywhen you are involved in Rotaract or Interact. When you are work-ing on a project, there will be tasks assigned to you and you needto be responsible and reliable enough to finish it. Rotaract andInteract will keep you busy with worthwhile activities and events.
Third is Rituals. O baka sabihin nyo, ano ba tong nasalihan ko,may ritwal ? Let me assure you that our rituals are not something
weird or scary. Have you heard about the statement, “That is how
we do things around here”? Rituals is about how we do things.What makes us Rotary or Rotaract or Interact is on the way we dothings. The way we do our induction, our District Assembly, Dis-trict Conference, our regular meetings, fellowships and our pro- jects is what makes us stand out and different from other organi-zations. Also, there are certain protocols that we follow in Rotaryand you’ll eventually realize later on that these protocols were putinto place so that things will be orderly. Standards and protocolsare the guidelines of operation in communication or in a formalsetting. Nowadays the ability to interact quickly and efficiently isconsidered the cornerstone of any organization or business. Perohayaan na natin ang inyong District Secretary to explain to youmore about protocols.
Let me move on to the last R. Relationship. The most importantR that you’ll develop is Relationship. In Rotaract and Interact,you’ll build relationships that are meant to last. In Rotary, we arenot just an organization, we are a family. We don’t believe in dis-pensable relationships. In this family we will meet mentors or bigbrothers and big sisters who can offer us valuable pieces of ad-vice. We will also meet people with the same interests or hobbiesand you know what they say about birds with the same feathers...yes, they fly together. And if you’re blessed, just like my daughterwho is a former Rotaractor, you might find your lifetime partnerhere. Pero saka na yon, mga bata pa kayo. Ika nga nila, study firsbefore love. So those are my 4Rs – Respect, Responsibility, Ritu-als and Relationships.
Ano naman ang 3 Is that you need to develop in order to grow in
this organization? First Be Inspired. Do things passionately andwhen I say passionately I mean with energy, enthusiasm andpositivity. You should not be hindered by your status in life, yourcircumstances, and your lack in experience or wisdom. Instead beinspired by the lives of those people who have humble begin-nings. If they can rise above the challenges of poverty, dysfunc-tional family, some wrong decisions, surely you can also do that.Do not limit yourself. When you dream, dream big… not just foryourself but for the people you love and the people that you wantto help.
Second Be Involved. Don’t just be a fence sitter or a wallflower.We are all meant to shine so go out there, and don’t be afraid todo the “dirty job”. Willingly extend your helping hands, not just tothe Rotarians, but more importantly, to those poverty-stricken
communities who need help. Let me borrow the words of the ac-tivists, Kung hindi tayo, sino? Kung hindi ngayon, kailan? It’s bet-ter when everyone is involved and when we all work together.
And lastly Be Innovative. In this day and age, we need to thinkoutside of the box. Hindi pwede yung ituloy lang natin ito paramadali. If you think you can improve something, be brave enoughto voice it out and suggest. Initiate change and be resourceful.Introduce and implement new ideas. When there are obstaclesand challenges, that’s actually the time to be creative and createsolutions. But do not be afraid to make mistakes knowing that nextime you will be able to get it right.
So those are my 3 Is. Be inspired, be involved and be innovative.To make it short, Be a gift to the world! Thank you and Mabuhay
ang Rotary, Rotaract and Interact Clubs of Holy Spirit.

In the 1930s, Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Dan-ish carpenter, had a wooden sign hangingon his wall that read, Det bedste er ikke forgodt: "Only the best is good enough." To-day, Christiansen is remembered as the
inventor of Lego, the colorful plastic bricksbeloved by children around the world. Butin the early days of the Lego company, itssignature product was a wooden duck – one built to the highest standards, out ofaged beech, with three coats of clear var-
sh. Lego's company history tells how Christiansen used hiscks to teach a lesson in quality to his son, Godtfred Kirk:
ne evening, when I came into the office, I said to my father: "It'sen a good day today, Dad. We've earned a little more." "Oh,"id Dad, "what do you mean?" "Well, I've just been to the sta-n with two boxes of our toy ducks for the Danish Co op. Nor-ally they get three coats of varnish, but since it's for the Co-op,
nly gave them two. So I saved the business a bit of money."e looked at me in dismay. "Godtfred, fetch those boxes back.npack them and give the ducks another coat of varnish. You'ret going to bed until the work's done – and you'll do it all onur own." There was no arguing with Dad. And it was a lessonr me about what quality meant.
day, Lego's quality standards are legendary, and its productse the most popular toys in the world: Lego pieces outnumbermans 86 to 1.
e all recognize that this success stems directly from Lego'ssiness practices – its insistence on quality, efficiency, and in-vation. I compare this with our efforts in governance and ac-untability in Rotary, and realize that sometimes we fall short ofe standards expected.
e leaders at the Rotary International, zone, district, and clubvels have to maintain the highest standards in governance.e RI president and directors must serve the membership in a
eaningful manner; zone leaders must deliver on the investmentotary makes in them; district leaders must provide dynamicadership in the district and focus on transparency in accountingd timely reporting of financials; and club leaders must adhereproper reporting functions and get their clubs onto Rotary Club
entral.
st as Christiansen refused to consider sending a lesser prod-t to any of his clients, so should we refuse to consider giving a
sser effort to any of our work. We must always demand thest of ourselves – in our professional lives, and especially inr Rotary work.
r in Rotary, what is our product? It is not wooden ducks orastic bricks. It is education, water, health, and peace. It ispe, and it is life itself. For this work, only our best is goodough. I ask you all to remember this – and to do your veryst to Be a Gift to the World .

Foundation Chairman’s August 2015 Messa
The Rotary Foundation has traditioused a few annual goals to guide itplanning for the next Rotary year. Hever, there is a more comprehensivplan in place for the current Rotaryyear. At their October 2014 meetingthe Trustees utilized the spirit of thestrategic plan by approving four prioties to stay in place for the next threyears:
End polio, now and forever.
Strengthen Rotarians' knowledge, engagement, and fnancial support of The Rotary Foundation.
Increase the quality and impact of Rotary's humanitariservice effort through Foundation grants and the sareas of focus.
Enhance the image and awareness of the Foundationrecord of achievements, particularly the success oPolioPlus and its 100-year record of doing good inworld.
In addition to the agreed four priorities for the next threyears, the Trustees also approved four measurable gofor each of the priorities. Therefore, we now have 16measurable goals to guide our efforts. The goals can
changed each year as progress is made on achievemof the priorities, but for the current year our course is sand for the first time, it is measurable!
I will be sharing some of the goals with you in future etions, but it is worth noting that the advent of measuragoals for the Foundation came at a propitious time. RIPresident K.R. Ravindran is a proponent of key perforance indicators (KPIs) for the work of Rotarians in leaship positions, and the new measurable goals made itmuch easier to develop some KPIs for our regional RoFoundation coordinators and endowment/major gift ad
ers. The KPIs are still an experiment, and they will neerefinement and development, but they are a step in thright direction as we try to take a longer look ahead eayear!

Today, 24 July 2015, marks one year since Nigeria last re-ported a polio case caused by wild poliovirus, putting thecountry on the brink of eradicating the paralyzing disease.
The last case was reported on 24 July 2014 in the northernstate of Kano. If no cases are reported in the coming weeks,the World Health Organization is expected to remove Nige-ria from the list of countries where polio is endemic, leaving just two: Afghanistan and Pakistan.Nigeria is the last polio-endemic country in Africa. The conti-nent is poised to reach its own first full year without any ill-ness from the virus on 11 August.
“Every Rotarian in the world should be proud of thisachievement,” says Rotary International President K.R. Rav-indran. “We made history. We have set Africa on course fora polio-free future. But we have not yet reached our goal ofa polio-free world. Raising funds and awareness and advo-cating with your government are more crucial than ever.”
Progress in Nigeria has come from many measures, includ-ing strong domestic and international financing, the commit-ment of thousands of health workers, and new strategiesthat reached children who had not been immunized earlierbecause of a lack of security in the northern states.
“Rotary’s commitment has been the number one reason forthe recent success in Nigeria,” says Dr. Tunji Funsho, chairof Rotary’s Nigeria PolioPlus Committee. “We have infectedpolitical leaders with this commitment. The government hasdemonstrated this with political support and financial and
human resources. And
that went down the linefrom the federal level, tothe state, to the localgovernments.”
Nigeria has increasedits domestic funding forpolio eradication almostevery year since 2012and has allocated $80
million for the effort this year.
Funsho also applauds religious leaders who championethe vaccination efforts to families in their communities.
Despite the historic gains in Nigeria, health experts are cautious about declaring victory. Funsho says the Global PolEradication Initative partners must strengthen routine immunization especially in hard-to-reach areas, in addition tboosting sensitive surveillance to prevent resurgence of thdisease. If no new cases are reported in the next two yearNigeria, along with the entire Africa region, will be certifiepolio-free.
“The virus can be introduced from anywhere where it is stendemic, particularly now in Afghanistan and Pakistan, intareas that haven’t had polio in years,” Funsho says. “It important we keep the immunity level in Nigeria to at lea
90 percent.” For instance, Syria experienced a sudden outbreak of thdisease when 35 cases were reported in December 2013None had been reported there since 1999. “Immunizationbecome imperative for history not to repeat itself in Nigeriasays Funsho.
In June, Rotary announced $19 million in grants for continued polio eradication activities in Africa, including almo$10 million for Nigeria. Since 1985, when Rotary launchePolioPlus, the program that supports the organization’s poleradication efforts, its worldwide monetary contributions tthe cause have exceeded $1.4 billion.
“We’ve come a long way and have never been so close teradicating polio in Nigeria and around the world, but it’s noa time to fully celebrate,” says Funsho. “We have some grueling years ahead of us before WHO can certify Nigeria an Africa polio-free.
