Feb. 23, 2018. Rotary Roxas, D3850 Philippines and Rotary Jecheon Woelack, D3750 Korea together celebrates the 113th of Rotary Anniversary of Service Above Self. The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete. As Mother Teresa said, "It is not in what and how we give, but it is how much love we put in giving."
RC J. Woelack, RC Roxas and LGU Sapian thru Mayor Ike Binas donated one classroom building for use of Grade 5 and Home Economics to Agtatacay Agnorte Elementary School. It was blessed and successfully turned over to the school authorities. The occasion was also graced by LGU Sapian Vice Mayor, Councilors; DepEd authorities, PTA officers, Student Council, Brgy officials, and other stakeholders present.

The new building was a realization and wish come true of the principal when we first met during our first visit in the school last July of 2012.
Thanks to our club secretary Tonette Nette Honrado Figueroa for the persistent and hardwork and PDG Mark Anthony G. Ortiz for the mentorship and guidance. Notwithstanding, the support from Mayor Ike Binas who happens to be a Rotarian, and the couple power of Rtns. Mark Jeong and Helen Kim.
"The school is our second home of learning and it help build priceless social skills, where we gained intelligence, and it instilled us the value to succeed. Today is a memorable occassion to us, to received one school building from the generous and kind-hearted Rotarians of Rotary Jecheon Woelack, Rotary Club of Roxas and Mayor Ike Binas of LGU Sapian.
You have provided us a conducive learning and now we are motivated to aspire and pursue our studies... to learn more and succeed. May you all be blessed a million times. On behalf of the school and my fellow students, I sincerely accept and appreciate your donations. Rest assured we will take good care and treasure your goodwill." - Acceptance Speech of student Joan Felizardo, Grade 5 SPG President 
After the program and turn over of the building, the spouses of RC Jecheon Woelack treated the kids to a Jollibee Mascots and lunch packed. Then after lunch, they had fun doing the 'Market Day' where their stars from their teachers they exchanged it with school supplies, blankets, toiletries, toys, etc brought about by our partners from Korea. It was a totally fun and happy afternoon altogether.  /MSL
