As the Magical Irresistible President of the Rotary Club of Jose Abad Santos Manila, I am filled with pride and gratitude as I reflect on the extraordinary day we experienced on October 27, 2024, at the Elorde Gym. In the aftermath of Typhoon Kristine, our community came together in a powerful demonstration of hope, resilience, and unwavering support for those in need.
This incredible initiative was made possible through the collective efforts of our dedicated members and partners. Alongside me were the ever-inspiring SDG Winston Tiu, SDG Girlie Tiu, Rtn. Cheche, and our delightful Margaux, each representing the heart and soul of the Rotary Club of Jose Abad Santos Manila. Together, we joined forces with the Enchanting Leaders of District 3810 and the Rotary Club of San Marcelino Manila, united by a shared mission to make a tangible difference.
Our club proudly contributed to this vital cause, rolling up our sleeves to pack relief goods — each parcel a symbol of our love, solidarity, and commitment to uplifting our community. The atmosphere at the Elorde Gym was nothing short of magical, with volunteers and leaders working hand in hand, driven by compassion and the desire to bring light into the lives of those affected by the typhoon.
This experience has reinforced for me the incredible power of unity and service. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, our collective spirit can light the way forward. I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and support of everyone involved, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to each volunteer who contributed their time and energy to this noble cause.
As we continue this journey of compassion, I invite all of you to join us in keeping the flame of hope alive. Together, let’s prove that with every act of kindness, we can rebuild dreams and inspire resilience within our community.
Let us carry forward the spirit of this magical day, demonstrating that when we unite with a common purpose, we can overcome any challenge and create a brighter future for all.
