PROJECT SAM: One in a Million Youth — Educating, Empowering, Saving Lives

The Rotary Club of Aseana Manila continues its commitment to safeguarding the next generation through Project SAM: One in a Million Youth, delivering a comprehensive HIV/AIDS Awareness Program at Massville Senior High School in Parañaque.

A total of 500 students benefited from the initiative—250 attending onsite and another 250 joining from their classrooms—making it a highly impactful day of learning and empowerment.

Because when we educate the youth, we save lives.

The club extends its gratitude to Lifesaver, led by Henry Endradura and Marc Endradura, for their unwavering dedication to youth protection and life-saving advocacy.

The multi-advocacy event was strengthened by the support of our partner Rotary Clubs:

• Rotary Club of Manila, through UCP Raoul C. Creencia, sponsor of the Cyberbullying & Mental Health Awareness segment, with UCP Raoul delivering an insightful discussion on digital safety.

• Rotary Club of Bagumbayan Manila, led by UCP Allen Rios, sponsor of the Cancer Awareness initiative.

Additional support was provided by:

• UCP Karen Rose Gamboa-Sumandal of RC Pasay Dewey Blvd

• UCP Darwin Seletaria Ibanez of RC Manila Fort Santiago

• UCP Rynah Fragata Ventura of RC Pasay Southeast

With today’s 500 newly informed and empowered students, our One in a Million target now stands at: 998,450 – 500 = 997,950 students remaining.

Project SAM continues to move forward—one school, one community, one empowered youth at a time.
