WHAT MAKES THEM BUSY?
They are college students whom in
their young age know already what servant leadership is. In order for them
to learn and grow, they open their minds and hearts to welcome new things on how
to keep them busy, make them responsible individual in the society and how to
make a difference even at their own limited time and capacity, while
maintaining their image as a normal college student. They know how to have fun
in between their busy schedules, plus their ideas and energy are contagious.
Meet the HERCOR College Rotaract Club
of the Rotary Club of Roxas, the busy buddies during the hosting of the recent
joint DISTAS for RY 2017-2018 and welcoming more or less a hundred fellow
student leaders and Rotary leaders of D3850 in Panay Island. They are our future responsible leaders. The future is them.

WHAT IS ROTARACT?
ROTARACT is an international program for
young men and women ages 18 to 30 who believe that they can make a difference. These
provide them opportunities as young adults to welcome new knowledge and train
their present skills to be more effective young leaders and in turn make them a
better person. This is a holistic organization where they are tested not just
on their mental and physical capacity, but as well their social capacity thru community
service. Likewise, the aim of the program is to promote goodwill, friendship,
service and better relations with their fellow young adults on a global
framework. 
The HERCOR Rotaract Club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Roxas, D3850. It is a program of Rotary International, a worldwide community of
committed young leaders gathered together to promote peace in the
society. The Rotaract clubs work under the supervision and guidance of their
respective local Rotary clubs.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
One of the many activities and goals of a Rotaract club is into
community service mostly during weekends, they collaborate with the Rotary club during
service project work, they lighten the burden during social events by serving
as the welcome committee and also conduct professional and leadership
development workshops, to name a few. They are required to only do projects
twice a year, one in the school community and one to partner with any
international service project here or abroad. However, there are no limits of doing service projects so long and as long as they can afford to spare their time to it. They have their own elected
officers and they are also invited to attend any of the Rotary sponsored
conferences, trainings and special events. These help the club or organization
strengthens their memberships and develops a lasting friendship.
In the Philippines, there are more less 500 established Rotaract
clubs from the 12 districts of the country. They play a vital role in nation
building. They also practice the Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self.
