Holy Spirit co-hosts with RC Timog the Global Grant project that ensures more healthy babies as it cements partnership between Rotary International Districts 3680 and 3780
By FC President Rene Cantos, RC Timog QC

n November 11, 2013, a human milk pasteurizing machine was turned over to the Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Sta Cruz, Manila. This was made possible through a Global Grant applied for by RC Timog RID 3780 and co-sponsored by RC Daejon RID 3680 of South Korea. Total cost of the pasteurizing equipment is $38,000. The project is an answer to a real community need and is aligned with one of Rotarys area of focus: Maternal and Child Health Care. The human milk bank will collect, screen, process, store and distribute donated milk to meet the specific needs of infants, in particular. Fabella Hospital, a national maternity hospital where about 300-400 mothers give birth daily, has an existing milk pasteurizing machine donated by several organizations in March 2008. The new pasteurizer is very timely so that the hospital can continue servicing the needs of patients. For the last five Mothers milk extraction in Fabella ward (5) years, about 2500 infants confined at Fabella and in other hospitals were beneficiaries of the milk bank.

During the turn-over ceremony, District Gov Ik-Hwan Lee of RID 3680 said he was very happy to be part of this worthy project. In reply District Gov Francis Rivera thanked Gov Lee for the support. Afterwards, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between RC Timog RID 3780 represented by FCP Rene Cantos, RC Daejon RIC 3680 represented by Pres Hyun Sik Song, and Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital represented by Dr Ruben Flores. District TRF Chair PDG Dulce Coyukiat said that this is a milestone for both RID 3780 and RID 3680. In his short talk DGN Rey David said that such a project is an example of Rotary Foundations goal of doing good in the world. At the end of the program, DG Francis Rivera was gifted by DG Ik-Hwan Lee with a very nice gold-plated replica of the crown of the last empress of the Silla Dynasty of Korea.

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary
First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

The Four-Way Test

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

ROTARIANS PLEDGE

I am a Rotarian I will always seek to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of people in the spirit of ROTARY SERVICE. I am a Rotarian I will always uphold the Rotary International Motto, SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

5 Avenues of Service
Based on Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotarys philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards. Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotarys humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding & peace. Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings 5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society 6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community 7.
