Presidential Message

February 2020

Happy 115th birthday, fellow Rotarians and members of the family of Rotary!

Much has changed in the world since 1905. Then, the global population was roughly 1.7 billion. Today, it is 7.7 billion. There were 5 telephones per 100 people in the

United States 115 years ago. In 2020, it is estimated that 96 percent of the U.S. population has a cellphone — and both China and India have more than a billion cellphones in use.

In the 115 years since Rotary was founded, seemingly everything has changed except Rotary values. We began, and remain, committed to fellowship, integrity, diversity, service, and leader-ship. While our Service Above Self motto dates to 1911, the ethos behind those words had already been ingrained by Rotary's founders.

As the pace of change worldwide continues to accelerate, the need for Rotary service is greater than ever. It's one thing to read about service projects, quite another to see them in action and to see the grateful faces of people who have benefited from them. Rotary projects change lives and connect the world. And over the past year, I have seen some amazing Rotary projects in action.

Gay and I visited Japan's Fukushima prefecture last year. Few places in the world have had to deal with the kind of devasta-tion that visited Fukushima in March 2011, when a tsunami touched off by an earthquake led to disaster at a nuclear power plant. But the story of Fukushima today is not one of destruction; it is one of hope and renewal. Rotary grants have helped improve access to medical and mental health care for victims of the disas-ter and reduced the isolation of these communities by sharing the experiences of people from other parts of the world who have also recovered from disasters. Our grants have also helped to foster self-motivation and encourage sustainable long-term community recovery across the region.

In Shanghai, I learned about the Careers in Care program. This helps migrant workers fill the need for skilled professionals in elder care facilities. After taking a course, trainees receive certification to boost their employment prospects, while the care industry benefits from an expanded talent pool. Rotary projects like this are successful because they address a local need, and they have the potential to attract local government funding to sustain their impact.

And in Guatemala, Gay and I went to Sumpango. Global grants there provide mechanical cows to produce soy milk; an improved water distribution system; water filters; clean compost latrines; family gardens; support for income generation; and training in WASH and literacy programs. The food items sold there not only provide nutrition to women and children, but also create a source of income for local women.

In every area of focus, and in every part of the world, Rotary projects are improving lives and helping communities adapt in a time of rapid change. As we celebrate another great year for Rotary, let us rededicate ourselves to strengthening the connections that make our service so impactful. We will make lives better as Rotary Connects the World.

TERESITA P. YñIGUEZ Club President

teresitayniguez@yahoo.com

The Rotary Club of Waling-Waling Davao visited Rizal Memorial Colleges on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 to share to the students what Rotary is all about and to present an overview on what is Rotaract.

Thanks to PPs Marivic Jimenez, Baby Vilela, Cheryl Gomez and Youth Service Director Bai Zainal for the interesting talks, inputs and video presentation on the aforementioned topics.

It is hoped that the students will now have a better understanding about Rotary and a clearer picture of what Rotaract is and the benefits they get to enjoy if they join a Rotaract club.

Thanks also to Vocational Director Elsie Libron for participating in this activity.

The club’s 25th Regular Meeting last Thursday, January 30, 2020 was as usual entertaining and enjoyable. We had an impromptu speaker in the person of PP Mae Dolendo, a medical doctor by profession, who without any prior notice, readily acceded to an instantaneous request for her to talk on the dreaded and much talked about Novel Corona Virus or NCOV. Bless you PP Mae for rising to the occasion and sharing with us everything you know about NCOV.

And then the fun part …. the photo ops .. Many members wonder why there is always a complete silence every time we pose for picture taking. Challenging this notion, we did a complete opposite of what we used to do and this time, by being noisy - talking and laughing out loudly while being photographed. Voilá !! The pictures turned out to be natural, candid and most of all beautiful.

So expect this to be the trend in the future pictorials of the RCWWD ladies.

Let us gladly welcome Queen Amora who will be inducted today.

Praise you PP Fe Boiser for enlisting this lovely lady to be part of the RCWWD family.

With February being observed as Peace and Conflict Prevention / Resolution Month, let us do our share of promoting peace in our own small way by listening with the intent to understand and by being helpful to others when we can.

“ Everyone must be committed in the matter of peace, to do everything they can … Peace is the language we must speak “ ( Pope Francis)

Henceforth, let us propagate peace by sowing kind and gentle words “ as a gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger (Proverbs 15:1)

Peace be with us all !

Rotary and the Gates Foundation extend funding match for polio eradication

by Rotary International (www.rotary.org)

Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on 22 January that their long-term fundraising partnership, which generates up to $150 million annually for polio eradication, will continue.

Under the agreement, Rotary is committed to raising $50 million a year over the next three years, and each dollar will be matched with an additional two dollars by the Gates Foundation

In a video address at the 2020 Rotary International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, Bill Gates told incoming district governors that the partnership with Rotary needs to continue.

“The Gates Foundation’s longstanding partnership with Rotary has been vital to fighting polio,” Gates said. “That’s why we’re extending our funding match, so every dollar that Rotary raises is met with two more.”

He added, “I believe that together, we can make eradication a reality.”

The funding will support polio eradication efforts such as disease surveillance, technical assistance, and operational support for immunization activities.

The partnership between Rotary and the Gates Foundation has yielded $2 billion, and Rotarians have given countless volunteer hours to fight polio since Rotary started its PolioPlus program in 1985.

Be a part of the fight to end polio and have your donation matched 2-to-1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Visit endpolio.org to learn more and donate.
