This joint project was able to touch the lives of more than 300 people around the Agustinian Sisters along Mother Spinelli Orphanage community. There was even a gift giving session for the orphans late in the afternoon.
After the service project, club members had a very relaxing time eating menudo, vegetables, crispy pata, barbeque, lumpia shanghai while looking from high ground at Taal Volcano/Lake. It was service project and outing rolled into one. We especially enjoyed the “Fernandez Singing Trio” which songs from recent artists such as Lady Gaga!
Our sincere thanks to IPP Mike for the medicines courtesy of Pharex, PP Ces, Secretary Rico, Lady Hester and the rest of the Rotary Clubs which participated in this memorable event.
We therefore wish that more Rotarians and members will join us in our future service projects as these will really help those who have less in life.
