ROTARY MAKING A DIFFERENCE EARLY IN THE LIVES OF IN-
FANTS Holy Spirit and partner SM Foundation donate baby
strollers to safeguard health of young mothers while pro-
viding comfort and safe mobility for their infants
On September 28, 2017, Thursday 2 PM, RC Holy Spirit
led by Great President Ric Salvador turned-over baby
strollers received from SM Foundation Inc (SMFI) during
the medical-dental mission last March.
At that time, a total of 12 strollers were donated by SMFI,
along with 200 pieces of assorted toys and 100 pairs of
slippers. 100 pieces of toys were given to children-
patients during the medical-dental mission; while the re-
maining 100 pieces of toys were given during the Easter
celebration for care-seekers and
street children. It was also dur-
ing the Easter celebration when
the slippers were distributed to
the care-seekers, street children
and youth volunteers.
During the March medical-dental
mission, the medical technologist
volunteer from DZRH requested
a stroller for his baby. The re-
maining 11 strollers were stored
at the DAHHA clubhouse. How-

ever, only ten (10 were found when they were being read-
ied for distribution.
Ten (10) mothers with infant babies from depressed areas
in Barangay Holy Spirit were chosen as beneficiaries by
Barangay Administrator Joemar Lagarto with the help of
the local Veterans Health Center. During the turn-over on
September 28, ten mothers came with their babies, aged 1
month to 11 months. Not only were the mommies happy
at receiving the gifts from SMFI, but their babies as well,
some of them drifting to a deep
slumber a few moments after be-
ing put on the strollers.
Assisting during the turn-over
were IPP Peth Rivera and PP
Marcia Salvador and three leaders
of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit
National High School. In behalf of
the mommies and their babies,
thank you very much to the SM
Foundation.

 MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS
RI Presidents October 2017 Message
Some years ago in the Melbourne, Austra-
lia, museum where my daughter used to
work, an iron lung was on display. For most
people my age who remembered the terri-
fying polio epidemics of the 1950s, that iron
lung was a testament to how far vaccina-
tion had brought us: to the point where that
once-critical piece of medical equipment
had literally become a museum piece.
For much of the world, the story of polio is
a simple one: After years of fear, a vaccine was developed and
a disease was conquered. But for some of the world, the story
was different. In so many countries, the vaccine wasnt avail-
able, mass vaccination was too expensive, or children simply
couldnt be reached. While the rest of the world relegated polio
to its museums, in these countries, the disease continued to
rage until Rotary stepped forward and said that all children, no
matter where they lived or what their circumstances, deserved
to live free of polio.
In the years since PolioPlus was launched, the combined efforts
of Rotary, the governments of the world, and the Global Polio
Eradication Initiative have brought the number of cases of polio
down from an estimated 350,000 per year to just a few so far in
2017. But we must reach zero cases, and stay there, to achieve
eradication. To do that, we need everyones help.
On 24 October, we will mark World Polio Day. It is a day to
celebrate how far we have come and an opportunity for all of us
to raise awareness and funds to complete the work of eradica-
tion. I ask every Rotary club to participate in some way in
World Polio Day activities, and I encourage you to
visit endpolio.org for ideas and to register your event. Whether
you host a silent auction, a virtual reality viewing, a fundraising
walk, or a Purple Pinkie Day, your club can make a real differ-
ence.
This year, our World Polio Day livestream event will take place
at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters in Seattle;
you can watch it on endpolio.org beginning at 2:30 p.m. Pacific
time. As many of you know, Rotary has committed to raising
$50 million a year for the next three years. This amount will be
matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation effectively tripling
the value of all money Rotary raises on World Polio Day and
throughout the year. Lets all make a difference on World Polio
Day and help End Polio Now.

Foundation Chairmans October 2017 Message
.What do we mean when we talk about
peace?
In 1921, the fourth object of Rotary was
established: "The advancement of interna-
tional understanding, goodwill, and peace
through a world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in the ideal of
service."
In Rotary today, we see peace not as an
abstract concept but as a living, dynamic
expression of human development, integral to our humanitarian
mission.
Much of our work for peacebuilding depends on the ability of
Rotary members to execute three important activities: forming
transformative partnerships, raising funds to support our many
hundreds of projects, and recruiting and supporting Rotary
Peace Fellows in their work.
This year The Rotary Foundation formed a strategic partnership
with the Institute for Economics and Peace, one of the leading
organizations in identifying and measuring the attitudes, institu-
tions, and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies.
Through this partnership, Rotary will work with the institute to
create an online learning portal for Rotarians and peace fellows
to build on their current expertise, apply new methods, and mo-
bilize communities to address the issues underlying conflicts.
Our goal is to foster community-based projects in peace and
conflict resolution that are practical and impactful.
Rotary has also launched a Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts
Initiative to raise funds for new partnerships while continuing to
garner contributions to educate and support our peace fellows
and more.
President Ian H.S. Riseley's six peacebuilding conferences
taking place globally from February to June will explore the
relationship among peace, Rotary's areas of focus, and envi-
ronmental sustainability. Our history proves that you don't need
to be a diplomat to make peace.
When you mentor a student struggling to graduate, you are a
peacebuilder.
When you launch any project to support economic development
in your community, you are building conditions for sustainable
peace and conflict management.
When you support and collaborate with a Rotary Peace Fellow,
you are advancing peace.
Today's complex conflicts require more creative community-
based initiatives. Together we can really make a difference.
