Amazing World of Rotary!

Fellow Rotarians in Service,


Today, I share to you the wonderful work of Rotary Fellowship and Volunteers...

For two months now, we have been looking for MC (girl of no leg) of Ormoc whom we would like to give prosthesis leg thru the RC Roxas City and RC Forbes Park project partnership - PROJECT W.A.L.K (Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids).

Last night, the team of Rotarians and friends of Rotary did not went to sleep until we find the address and contact details of MC who is now in Ormoc. I was pushed by few inspiring Rotarians and friends to really locate MC.... as promised, I did my very best to connect people.

I came to learn about Ma. Concepcion (MC) thru PP Ed Escano, my classmate president in 2008 (Make Dreams Real) of which he also learned thru his classmate Met Saludo who is a Cebuano but lives in Manila now. This started two months ago. To cut the long story short, we are nearly there to finally see MC. The father and I spoke last night already and I can feel the excitement in his voice.

Thank you to DG James Makasiar who send me DG Ted Lacson's number. Thank you to DG Ted for connecting me to IPP/AG Ann of RC Ormoc. The communication with DG Ted and the negotiation took about two weeks as Rotarians are always busy, though we believe, if you want to make things happen, give it to a busy person hehehe

Oh well, today made everything possible for MC. She will be our 5th beneficiary of Project W.A.L.K thru the generosity of RC Forbes Park and the trust and confidence given to me by my club - RC Roxas City.

We do our best to bring one kid at a time to give them hope for the future as we continue to make dreams real.

Our 1st beneficiary is Arnel (14 yo), our 3rd is Leilanie (16 yo) and both from Aklan, and enjoying the life they have always dreamed and looking forward to a bright future ahead.

We have the 4th - Prinz Charlz (6 yo) who is also from Aklan and now awaiting schedules for his trip to Manila as we are still doing the fundraising for the kid's trip together with his mother. Thank you to Missionaries of Charity-Aklan and Manila for the privileged to be of service and for sponsoring the shelter for Prinz Charlz and his Mom in Tayuman, once they reach Manila.

Though MC is from Ormoc, Project WALK has no boundaries....for as Rotarians, WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN thru SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids (W.A.L.K.) aims to assist physically challenged children. A person’s physical mobility goes beyond moving oneself from one place to another. By providing limbs to a physically handicapped person, we endeavor to propel one’s confidence and self-worth towards personal growth and productivity. THIS IS OUR MISSION.

This year, we are challenge to BUILD COMMUNITIES and BRIDGE CONTINENTS thru the amazing men and women of Rotary International.

May you continue to do the same.

Cheers,

PP Megs Lunn
