ROTARY CLUB OF MACTAN - CITE SCHOLARSHIP



The Rotary Club of Mactan (District 3860) and Rotary Club of Collingwood South Georgian Bay, District 7010 Canada through The Rotary Foundation (TRF) Matching Grant # 64366 allocated Ph One Million One Hundred Sixty Four Thousand Pesos (Ph 1,164,000.00) for scholarship grant to 188 scholars to be enrolled at CITE (Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise). There are 185 slots for Production Technology (short term course) and 3 slots for a 3-year Industrial Technician Program. Scholars are required to maintain a certain average and are encouraged to sponsor a scholar when they already have regular employment in the future, this is to help sustain the program and extend more scholarship and employment opportunities to the youth.
The program will adopt the R.A. No.7686 known as Dual Training System Act of 1994 wherein student recipients of the grant shall conduct their 1-year on-the-job training at any partners company at the Mactan Economic Zone for the Industrial Skills Training Program (ISTP) and 1-1/2 years for the Industrial Technician Program. Since they have established relationship and trust with the companies while on training, they therefore have better employment opportunities upon completion of the program.
RC Mactan President Maita Manglapus, with District 3860 Literacy Program Chair/PP Sylvia Comendador and Club’s Chairman for Literacy Rtn/Dr. Caridad Labe represented RC Mactan, while Mr. Armad Millan III and Mr. Boni Mercado Jr. represented CITE during the MOA signing held last January 16, 2008 at the Rotary Club of Mactan Information and Training Center, MEZ, Lapulapu City.

BASIC LITERACY MENTORING PROGRAM




A Laudable partnership between
Chevron Phils., Inc. and Rotary Club of Mactan

Over a hundred Grade 1 pupils of Canjulao and Timpolok Elementary School who are poor in class now have the chance to improve their performance in Math and Reading subjects.
Regarded as “student at risk “(STaRS), the children took special classes every Saturday since September 8 under the Caltex Mentor Program (CMP) of Caltex Philippines, Chevron Philippines Inc. and the Rotary Club of Mactan.

Chevron Philippines Inc. provided the reading materials and supplies; while the Rotary Club members and Chevron officials recruited volunteers willing to hold one-on-one lecture with pupils for one whole morning.

“(It took us only) four Saturdays, but we have achieved the goal because upon evaluating them at the end of the special class, we noticed from them (students) significant improvement, Maita Manglapus, Rotary club president, said.

There were 102 pupils who were initially accepted into the program. Each one was given a pre-test to determine their weak points, and sad to note that they scored 0-1. During the special classes, students were taught how to read and introduced words and phrases. However, only 67 were able to complete the required four Saturday classes. Then, post-test was given to determine how much they have improved.

We are very thankful to the Rotarians, Interacts, Rotaracts, Caltex Personnel, and teachers who volunteered and handled the special classes. This project is a unique one since our scholars are not the top scorers of their classes, but those who need most our help in reading. It is amazing to note that from a non-reader (one got zero score during the pre-test) got a perfect score on the post test.

Last October 13, was the culmination activity held at Canjulao Elementary School grounds, the children had the chance to eat another sumptuous meal and chat with the people behind the project.

MANGROVE REFORESTATION: THANK YOU SO MUCH ROTARY CLUB OF NOVATO

ROTARY CLUB OF NOVATO, CA, USA ... it is not just a legal entity, it is people with names and faces, Rotarian's who love, care and share.

Since 1990, RC NOVATO has provided financial assistance to the (not so) small community of Mactan, Philippines, to cap ground water wells to keep them from becoming contaminated from polluted groundwater run-off.
The club is in the second year of a project to assist in providing funds to purchase clothing, supplies, and lunches for indigent children in Mactan, Philippines, so that they can attend school.

Out of MACTAN, still so very generous: Beginning in the year 2004 RC NOVATO formed the Novato Rotoplant program in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Downtown Davao in the Philippines. Cutting edge technology in Kidney transplants is taught and performed by NOVATO Rotary Doctor member while another Novato Rotary Doctor teaches preventative medicine techniques. Health supplies and information is collected by non-doctor members and distributed in Davao.

Guess how much RC NOVATO was able to raise to eradicate polio? Too late for our so able webmaster jennie and her assistant magandacell but right on time for thousands of others ...

have a look at the names and faces of some of the people who love, care and share: http://www.novatorotary.org/

Thank you to all members of Rotary Club of Novato.

Now it is the season for mangrove reforestation and again RC NOVATO was so generous to make it possible. PP Vicky Huseby, our Chief Environmentalist and (young) veteran Rotarian when it comes to save turtles corals mangroves, she will lead the coastal cleaning and Mangroves Planting Project made possible by the generous contributions of RC NOVATO.

Last August 31, Ms Marites Alenton from CEBU COASTAL AND ENVIRONMENT FOUNDATION gave us more insight and guided us on how to protect and re-forest the mangroves. Mangroves to be planted September 15. remember 1000 USD equals 3000 planted mangroves, in words one thousand USD just 734 EURO plant three thousand mangroves. look at the following pictures to estimate the surface covered, accept it takes a while, may be 6 to 8 years.

3 years

5 years, see how the mangrove reproduces? interested? have a look around september 18! like to get involved next time? email rc_mactan@yahoo.com
