Status of anti-TB screening in 5 day-care centers in Holy
Spirit as of October 23, 2014
THE DOVE news bulletin may be viewed on the screens of your smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop devices.
Screening in 5th day-care center assigned to RC Holy
Spirit is completed; all 68 kids tested negative for TB
On October 21, 2014, PP Marcia Salvador of
RC Holy Spirit and two doctors visited Zebra
Yakap Day Care Center in Barangay Holy
Spirit for the implementation of the anti-TB pro-
gram of District 3780 and the Quezon City gov-
ernment.

The day care center is the fifth assigned to
RCHS during the October 8
th
Zone 2 coordina-
tion meeting. Dr Yvonne Guillermo of the Holy
Spirit Barangay Health Center and Dr Chiu
Chen, an intern from the FEU Hospital,
checked up the 70 pupils under Teacher Gina
Simangan. Fifteen (15) of the toddlers were
sent for PPD testing by Nurse Lily de Castro
on the same day. As with the scenes from the
four day care centers, it was a stressful mo-
ment for majority of the kids who feared the
sight of the needles. BC President Marites
Nepomuceno coordinated the check-up sched-
ule with Teacher Gina. During the
event, PP Marcia Salvador assisted in
controlling the flow of the children to be
checked up by the doctors.

On October 23, 2014, Dr Guillermo and
Nurse Lily went back to the day care
center to read the results of the PPD
tests done on the kids. They were both
happy to report that all the kids tested
negative for tuberculosis. None could
be happier and more relieved, of
course, than the parents and Teacher
Gina. There was, however, one pupil in
the class who was earlier found to have
primary complex but already taking the
required medications.

My dear Classmates and Fellow Rotarians,

The Rotary Club of Holy Spirit will be holding a 1-day Chess Tournament dubbed as CHECKMATE:
3
rd
Annual Chess Cup on November 23, 2014 from 8:00am to 7:00pm to at the 14/F Quezon City
Hall, Quezon City.

The tournament is open to all non-rated chess players. Mode of play shall be Swiss system, minimum
of seven (7) rounds. FIDE laws of chess shall govern the tournament. Please see details on the
next page.

May I request for your support to spread the CHECKMATE tournament to your club members. There
may be chess enthusiasts in your club who may want to participate by either playing or watching the
game. CHECKMATE is not only an opportunity for Rotarians to play chess but also an opportunity to
build another level of fellowship: meet non-Rotarians who share the same interest in Chess.

Aside from basketball, CHESS is one sport that Filipinos play that cuts across different demographics.
It is a sport accessible to anybody regardless of age, social strata, and geographic loca-
tion. CHECKMATE is an opportunity to spread and promote the name ROTARY.

If you are interested, please send your queries or register your name to rchscheckmate@yahoo.com.

I look forward to your support.


Best regards,


Marites L. Nepomuceno

In October 1914, Jonas Salk was born a man
who would change world history by inventing the
first effective vaccine against polio. When the vac-
cine was introduced in the United States in the
1950s, polls indicated that polio was one of the
nation's two greatest fears, second only to the
fear of atomic war. And with good reason: In the
1952 U.S. polio epidemic, 58,000 cases were
reported, with 3,145 deaths and 21,269 instances
of permanent, disabling paralysis. Globally, polio
paralyzed or killed up to half a million people
every year.

Soon after the Salk vaccine was created, Albert Sabin developed an
oral version, allowing tremendous numbers of children to be immunized
quickly, safely, and inexpensively. In 1985, Rotary's PolioPlus program
was born, with a simple goal: to immunize every child under age five
against this crippling disease. Thanks in large part to the initial success
of PolioPlus, in 1988 the 166 member states of the World Health As-
sembly unanimously set the goal of global polio eradication.

At the time, the idea was breathtakingly ambitious, and many called it
impossible. Today, we are closer to this goal than ever before, with only
a few hundred cases of polio reported per year, and just three remaining
endemic countries. We are on track to achieve full eradication by 2018
if we can keep up the momentum that has brought us this far.

And this month, we will mark World Polio Day on 24 October, and cele-
brate the 100th anniversary of Dr. Salk's birth.

I ask you all to Light Up Rotary this month by doing whatever you can to
shine a spotlight on our efforts to eradicate polio. Call your government
officials and let them know that polio eradication matters to you. Go to
endpolionow.org for inspiring stories about Rotary's work, and share
them on social media. And make the best investment you'll ever make,
by donating to polio eradication right on the endpolionow.org website
and earning a two-to-one match on your contribution from the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation.

When we eradicate polio and we will we'll have brought the world
into a better future, and Rotary into a better future as well. We will have
proved ourselves, as an organization, capable of great things. And we
will have given our children and grandchildren a gift that will endure
forever: a polio-free world.

Rotary International
Foundation Chairmans October Message


In each of my monthly messages, I have en-
deavored to highlight one individual Rotary
Foundation goal for 2014-15.

This month, I wish to speak about the new grant
structure and the reasons for its introduction.
The Foundation Trustees identified a number of
growing needs to improve efficiency, to stream-
line operations, and to focus efforts so as to
achieve greater impact and public recognition.

Prior to Future Vision, the Foundation was processing over 4,000
grants per year, and the average humanitarian grant was US$12,500.
With many of the grants smaller than this figure, the cost to administer
the grants was increasing at a significant rate, and we needed more
staff to process the growing number of applications.

In addition to striving for improved efficiency, the Trustees aimed for
greater simplicity and a more streamlined process. The Rotary Foun-
dation had 12 different programs, each with its own requirements and
application procedures, to support educational and humanitarian ob-
jectives. We now have only two grant types: district grants and global
grants.

By simplifying the process, the Trustees hope to enable Rotarians to
reach a greater number of people to do good in the world; to provide a
more efficient grants-making system, awarding fewer grants and large
amounts at a reduced operational cost; and to give clubs and districts
more ownership over the grant process.

I urge you to ensure the progress of our new grant structure through
your continued participation in our educational and humanitarian pro-
jects.

John Kenny
Foundation Trustee Chair
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION

The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world
understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the
support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

The Rotary Foundation helps fund our humanitar-
ian activities, from local service projects to global
initiatives. Your club or district can apply for grants
from the Foundation to invest in projects and
provide scholarships. The Foundation also leads
the charge on worldwide Rotary campaigns such
as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Rotari-
ans and friends of Rotary support the Founda-
tions work through voluntary contributions.

WORLD POLIO DAY: HEALTH OFFICIALS LAUD POLIO ERADICATION ACHIEVE-
MENTS, POINT TO DISEASES ENDGAME
At a special Livestream program -- World Polio Day:
Make History Today -- Rotary leaders joined global
health experts and celebrity singers to hail the progress
of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. After nearly 30
years, the GPEI, which includes Rotary, the World Health
Organization, UNICEF, U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Founda-
tion, is on the brink of ending polio by 2018, making it the
second infectious disease to be eradicated.

"A world without polio is within our grasp more than at
any point in the past," said Tom Frieden, director of the
CDC, during a video message to the audience. "The po-
liovirus continues to lose ground. Next month we will
mark two years since the last case of wild poliovirus type
3, giving every appearance of eradication, and leaving
only type 1 in the world."

Frieden talked about how Nigeria's Polio Emergency Op-
erations Center aided in the quick and effective response
to the country's Ebola outbreak. Senior officials from the
center were sent to Lagos to lead the effort. They opened
an Ebola treatment unit and conducted contact tracing
with up to 500 people per day.

Rotary General Secretary John Hewko praised the work
of the GPEI, calling the organization "perhaps the most
ambitious and effective public-private partnership ever
assembled." More than 2.5 billion children have been
vaccinated since its launch.

The annual number of polio cases has fallen from
350,000 in 1988 to 416 in 2013, and 222 so far this year,
a remarkable decrease of more than 99 percent. UNICEF
estimates that 10 million people would have otherwise
been infected, while 1.5 million lives have been saved.

Rotary has contributed more than $1.2 billion to polio
eradication since taking on the disease in 1979. That
amount got a significant boost earlier this week after Ro-
tary announced it will provide an additional $44.7 mil-
lion toward the polio fight.

Reggae star Ziggy Marley, a celebrity End Polio Now am-
bassador, opened the event via video welcoming partici-
pants and performing a song.

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 par-
ticular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for ser-
vice;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the
recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the digni-
fying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's per-
sonal, 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.
5 Avenues of Service
Based on Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotarys phi-
losophical 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 under-
takes to improve life in its community.

International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotarys
humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world under-
standing & peace.

Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth
and young adults through leadership development activities, service
projects, and exchange programs.
