facebook: Rotary Club of Tacloban Email: [email protected] 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE... Greetings my brothers in the Rotary Club of Tacloban.

We gather on this, our 17th Regular meeting, on a somber atmosphere. We have received news that PP Bon Mutia has joined our Creator. Last February 1, we also lost one of our Past President, PP Antonio Cam. We share the grief and sympathies with the family and give our prayers for their eternal repose and comfort to those they survived.

This brings us to a closer perspective of our lives as Rotarians. We are limited by the time we spend here on earth. In spite of the said limit, we strive to make our lives as meaningful and purposeful as possible. We strive to make our own mark and leave a legacy to those who we are leaving.

PP Bon and PP Tony made their own mark. Serving as active members and presidents of our club, they have passed on the younger generations of Rotarians the legacy of a leader leaving a club for us to be in fellowship with. A club we can be very proud of. Without their leadership, in one way or another, the Rotary Club of Tacloban will not be what it is today: a club where we were destined to meet, collaborate and serve others.

That realization of mortality, pushes us to be better. To leave this world better than what we woke up to. It is my gratitude to all of my brothers in the Rotary that we share the same goal of service. That in our own way, when we pass on to the other side, we would be proud to say that: “With the Four Way Test I will pursue my quest and if I, in a way help obtain Peace in the world Then I won’t have lived in vain.”

To PP Tony and PP Bon, thank you and may Eternal Light Shine upon you and rest in peace. Your brothers in the Rotary club of Tacloban remembers you and cherish you.

I pray that this event builds a stronger link between our organizations. We wish you the best and more power!

God bless us all!

Yours in Servant Leadership,

Rotarian Eugene A. Tan Transforming President

3 ROTARY INFORMATION... PE Bobby Andrade The $2 million grant goes toward Rotary club-led Partners for a Malaria- Free Zambia program; an additional $4 million contributed by partners the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and World Vision USA. The Rotary Foundation is giving a significant boost to the fight against malaria in Zambia with a new $2 million Programs of Scale grant that will scale an already successful program model. Partners for a Malaria-Free Zambia is a Rotarian-led effort that will use a community health worker model proven to effectively respond to cases of malaria and prevent transmission. The program aims to help reduce malaria cases over time by 90% in 10 target districts in two of the country’s provinces.

Malaria, a preventable disease caused by a parasite spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes, continues to be one of Zambia’s leading causes of illness and death, especially infant and maternal deaths.

The grant will allow Partners for a Malaria-Free Zambia to strengthen the country’s health system by working with Zambian health officials at all levels and training 380 health facility staff members, as well as training and equipping more than 2,500 new community health workers. This will increase access to malaria diagnosis and treatment for the more than 1.3 million people in heavily affected areas in the Central and Muchinga provinces and greatly contribute to the national effort to eliminate the deadly disease. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Federal Way, Washington, USA, the program brings together local Rotary members and partner organizations who share a goal to combat malaria in Zambia. In addition, the Bill& Melinda Gates Foundation and World Vision USA will co-fund the program with $2 million each, bringing total funding to $6 million.

“This project complements and builds upon the leadership of the government of Zambia in working to eliminate malaria from the country,” says Philip Welkhoff, director of the Malaria Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “We are thrilled to expand on our longstanding partnerships with Rotary and World Visionto advance progress in hard-to-reach communities and to realize the goal of ending malaria for good.”

To diagnose and treat community members, health workers will be supplied with rapid diagnostic test kits, anti- malaria medicine, lancets for finger pricks, and educational materials. They’ll also receive bicycles and mobile phones, allowing them to reach communities and regularly report cases and share malaria data within the national health system. Making sure local and national information is integrated and providing ongoing support for the community health worker network are essential to the program’s goal of strengthening provincial health services for long-term success fighting malaria.

By empowering these volunteers, who are selected by their fellow community members, the project connects people in areas with limited access to health care with trusted members of their community, says Bill Feldt, a member of the Federal Way club. source: www.rotary.org

4 A TRIBUTE TO CELEDONIO “BON” MUTIA

To a good friend Bon Mutia,

You maybe gone but you live in the hearts you left behind who will continue to cherish memories of your jokes and active participation in Rotary functions, your birdies and pars in golf, and the drinks we shared in meetings.

You may have reached the end of your journey and entered your eternal home. May God be with you and together watch the breaking of a new dawn.

In the words of a known writer, it matters not how a man dies but how he lives. Here’s to a departed friend who lived life to the fullest - devoted to family and service to the community.

Rest in Peace Bon.
