July
is Literacy Month, a time for clubs to develop their own literacy projects, as well
as raise awareness of Rotarians’ efforts worldwide to eradicate illiteracy.
Our R.E.S.C.U.E. 1 project brochureis now
available to make it easier for other people to become interested in, participate and support our club's community outreach programs in
Bgy. Masambong.
CDG George L. Howard encouraged all Centennial club
presidents to design and submit the corresponding brochures for their clubs' signature projects before their terms will be over.
While our original signature project as an eClub was
the Rota-CLOWNs (Rotary Clinic on Wheels), we did not submit the project brochure as required pending approval of our charter. With
the shift that our club has undergone from an eClub to a regular club, we have Bgy. Masambong as our assigned barangay. We have adopted the "focused
community development approach" in serving the needs of the community.
Initial fact-finding and consultative meetings with
barangay officials and community leaders had identified the barangay's concerns and guided us on what intervention programs to introduce in
the area. We have immediately incorporated the in-puts into our three-year plan, and designed
club projects accordingly.
R.E.S.C.U.E. 1 at the forefront with RCC at the
core of community organizing
We have designed our R.E.S.C.U.E. programs as our response
mechanisms to the community's needs. Both are anchored on the principle of uniting the community and enabling them to have the capability to
directly participate in addressing their own concerns. Rotarians would then contribute additional material support to help them slowly
achieve self-reliance and empowerment.
With the coming rainy season and the anticipated typhoons
that will visit Metro Manila, we will introduce and carry out R.E.S.C.U.E. 1, or Rotary's EmergencySupport to
the Community's United Efforts. We anticipate relief operations to be conducted heavily in Bgy. Masambong during the
height of the rainy season.
R.E.S.C.U.E. 1 will serve as the framework of all
our interventions in the community. The formation of RCCs in the depressed communities, however, will serve as the core of all our
organizing efforts in the barangay.
Team members always love and admire a person who is able to help them go to another level,
someone who enlarges them and empowers them to be successful. Players who enlarge their team mates have several things in common.
