Basic Education and Literacy: Empowering Communities and Transforming Lives.

Basic education and literacy form the cornerstone of personal and societal development, serving as the foundation upon which individuals build their futures. Recognizing the significance of education in creating positive change, Rotary International has identified Basic Education and Literacy as one of its key areas of focus. Through targeted initiatives and collaborative efforts, Rotary aims to enhance access to quality education, improve literacy and numeracy, and foster lifelong learning opportunities for individuals around the world.

Promoting Access to Quality Education: Rotary supports initiatives that ensure children, especially those from marginalized communities, have access to quality primary and secondary education. By constructing schools, providing necessary infrastructure, and offering scholarships, Rotary helps eliminate barriers to education. These efforts empower children to attend school regularly, setting the stage for a brighter future.

Enhancing Teacher Training and Support: Rotary invests in training teachers and providing them with essential resources. Well-trained educators create engaging learning environments, which are essential for fostering a love for learning. By supporting teachers, Rotary contributes to the overall improvement of educational standards.

Improving Adult Literacy: Functional literacy is vital for individuals to participate meaningfully in society. Rotary’s programs focus on teaching adults to read, write, and acquire essential life skills. Literate adults are better equipped to find employment, support their families, and actively engage in community development initiatives.

Embracing Technology for Learning: In the digital age, access to technology can bridge educational gaps. Rotary promotes the use of technology in classrooms, providing students and teachers with tools that enhance the learning experience. Computers, tablets, and online resources opendoorstoavastworldofknowledge,enablingbetterunderstandingandcriticalthinking.

Promoting Lifelong Learning: Education is a lifelong journey. Rotary encourages a culture of continuous learning by organizing workshops, seminars, and vocational training programs.

President 2023-2024

The International Day of Peace takes place 21 September. The United Nations General Assembly declared this a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace through observing 24 hours of nonviolenceandcease-fire.Itisnotenough,asPeopleofAction,tosimplyavoidmakingwar.Ifweareto Create Hope in the World, we must aggressively wage peace. Where can we begin? There are countless armed conflicts around the world, and the global population of displaced people is higher than ever. The opportunities are nearly limitless, but the cycles of violence and hardship seem endless. My advice is to start small but think big. I look to Rotary members in Pakistan and India for inspiration. In March 2020, about 50 Rotary members from Pakistan met about 50 Rotary members from India at Kartarpur Sahib, a shrine in Pakistan. The sanctuary honors Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, a religion practiced in both countries. Tensions between the two countries barred many religious pilgrims from India from visiting the shrine. That is, until Pakistan opened a visa-free pathway to them in 2019. Earlier this year, Rotary members from opposite sides of the border again metattheshrine,thistimewithabouttwiceas manyparticipants.Anyworktowardbuildingpeace needs to be brave and bold. What these Rotary members have done is just that. The Pakistani government took an important step toward peace when it admitted Indian pilgrims to the Kartarpur Sahib shrine, but Pakistani Rotary members took the next step when they welcomed RotarymembersfromIndiaasfriendsandfamily.ThatisPositivePeaceat work.Thesepeacebuildersdidnotstopthere.Clubrepresentativesat year’s meetingsignedtwinclubcertificatestorecognizetheirlong-termcommitment tocontinuetolearnfromeachotherandtoworktogetheronmorepeace building efforts, and they have held joint meetings via video chat.

DELILAH

By: TOM JONES

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman

As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah

I could see, that girl was no good for me

But I was lost like a slave that no man could free At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing

I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door

Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

She stood there laughing

I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah

So before they come to break down the door

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

CLUB PROFILE

ROTARY CLUB KALOOKAN NORTH CHARTERED APRIL 29, 1991

Club Number 27978

Charter President Carlos "Carling" V. Cabochan

Sponsor Club Rotary Club of Sampaguita Grace Park

DGSR PDG Marcelina "Lina" A. Aurelio

Meeting Day Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the Month | 6:00 PM (1st Friday - CVC Civic Center, CVC Plaza, MH Del Pilar St., Caloocan City)

With the consent of then District Governor Eduardo "Edi" N. Chua Co Kiong, the organization of another club in Kalookan was set into motion upon the appointment of then RC Sampaguita Grace Park President, PDG Marcelina "Lina" Aurelio by Governor Chua as his special representative (DGSR).

The organization of Rotary Club of Kalookan North, composed of young professionals and businessmen in Caloocan City was the brainchild of DGSR Lina. The first organizational meeting was held on 14 April 1991 presided by DGSR Lina Aurelio, with the presence of Governor Edi Chua Co Kiong and then District Secretary PDG Teddy Zamora and eight prospective members. The governor hosted the meeting.

Sailing was initially rough though, after tedious adjustment by the prospective members and series of Rotary Information given by DGSR Lina, DS Teddy, Extension Chairman Pres. San Juan and other notable Rotarians like PDG Nani Certeza and PDS Rudy Alonzo, the club become a reality. The provisional club was subsequently chartered by the Rotary International on April 29, 1991.

It was on April 14, 1991, during a regular meeting of the club that an election was held and the group finally came up with their Constitution and By-laws. Elected as Charter President was Carlos V. Cabochan of CVC Supermarket. The induction ceremonies of the Charter Officers and Members was held at the Valle Verde Country Club on August 03, 1991 marked the birth of Rotary Club of Kalookan North.
