RC Cebu Gloria Maris Conducts Ocular Visit to Soong Elementary for Hokkomslow Project

“Every detail matters when uplifting tomorrow’s leaders.”

On September 23, 2025, Immediate Past President and Hokkomslow Project Chair Myra Urbiztondo, alongside Rotarian Alden Urbiztondo, conducted an ocular visit at Soong Elementary School. Their purpose was clear: to assess the condition of classroom repairs and determine additional materials needed to enhance the learning environment for the children of Brgy. Soong.

A Hands-On Approach to Educational Empowerment

The visit underscored Rotary Club of Cebu Gloria Maris’s commitment to actively participating in the Hokkomslow Project, which centers on empowering marginalized learners through education. The club’s leaders inspected classrooms carefully—evaluating structural integrity, lighting, and available learning resources—ensuring the facility meets the standards that conducive education demands.

“Seeing firsthand the needs of Brgy. Soong children inspires us to create concrete, impactful solutions,” said IPP Myra Urbiztondo. Their observations will shape prioritized actions, from essential repairs to acquiring educational materials that will directly benefit the students.
