Alas! We took the opportunity to visit
Brgy Talon the day after DISTAS 2013 in the morning of June 2, 2013. 
Luckily, Gov. Biboy, IDG Mark and DGN Jude
came along together with PP Reubin, Rtn. Bem-Bem (RC Boracay) and I to take a
symbolic picture (turn-over) of the Water Matching Grant project of the club,
RCC Talon, Brgy Talon community and the Water District of Roxas. 
The pipeline is 2 thousand linear meter
long, of which the source of water is about 1 kilometer long away. From the
original 40 houses who applied for water connection, we were able to give connection to about 60 houses, and maybe more in the next few days.
This is ROTARY! The joy to serve and the
joy to making people feel at PEACE that they will no longer get sick from the
water contamination.
No more water borne diseases as we bid
goodbye to the community and a promise that we will be back for the formal
turn-over of such. The marker is yet to be finalized by PP Ruiben.
Thank you to
D3850 and to our International Partner at D6110 USA for making things possible
for our adopted Barangay community.
One of the Rotary's areas of focus is
Water and Sanitation. We recognize this as one of the six areas of focus to be very
beneficial to create PEACE in the communities around the world.
We take this in broad range to response to
the specific need of the community that we serve.
To all of you who have helped the
committee to make things happen, MARAMING SALAMAT PO!
May we continue to serve with joy as we
see our unfortunate sisters and brothers at peace in the community, because YOU
and I have made a difference.
