These last three weeks, we did our annual visit to Mother Teresa Home of Joy for Sick Children and remitted our annual donation. Thank you charter member Tony for sharing with us this wonderful experience. We also conducted two RCMD Alay missions. We conducted an Alay Buhay Heart Valve operation and launched our 2016-2017 Alay Kalusugan Feeding program. Thank you Director Gerb and PP Joji for chairing these programs!
Was absolutely delighted to hear from our baby rotarians who gave their vocational talks.
Congratulations PP Joji for being appointed to chair Discon 2017.
