New Generations Service

The Rotary Club of Manila remains committed to supporting the projects of its Rotaract-sponsored clubs in furtherance of New Generations Service.

2nd Rotaract Philippine Roundtrip

The inaugural Rotaract Philippine RoundTrip is a dream project of the Rotaract Club of Manila which was headed by PP KK Reyes. The goal of the project is to welcome foreign Rotaractors to the Philippines and let them experience our culture and history through the eyes of local Rotaractors. Through this project, the Rotaract Club of Manila was able to gather 6 other local Rotaract clubs from two districts – 3810 and 3820.

Due to the success of the first Philippine Roundtrip, the Rotaract Club of Manila will once again lead the organizing committee that will host another set of foreign rotaractors to visit the Philippines. This year’s roundtrip will showcase new locations and activities to further promote friendship amongst joining Rotaract clubs. The organizing committee also plans to even diversify the participants compared to having Rotaractors from India, Germany, Italy, and Australia from which the first batch resided from. This event not only showcases Philippine Rotaract culture but also promotes tourism in different places in the country.

Continuous Support to The Rotary Foundation

As part the celebration of Rotary Club of Manila’s 100 Years and 50 Years of Rotaract in the Philippines, the Rotaract Club of Manila is aiming to collect US$ 2,000 for the Rotary Foundation. Last Rotary year, the club donated around US$ 1,800 to the Rotary Foundation and this year the club is aiming to increase the value to be donated. Even before the Rotary Year starts, a few of our Rotaractors have pledged to donate a total of US$ 700 already.

YoungLi Operations

The Rotaract Club of Manila has been supporting at-risk kids from Tondo, Manila through the Young Unlimited (YoungLi) program of Young Focus (A Netherlands Based Organization) for 2 years already. Manila Rotaractors spent weekends with kids for the past years providing art and music workshops. This year, the Rotaract Club of Manila has been allowed by YoungLi to provide a year-long curriculum to support further the ultimate goal of the program, which is to inspire the kids to go back to school.

Annual Recruitment Week

Rotaract Club of De La Salle University-Manila will once again take part in the Annual Recruitment Week (ARW) this coming September 2018. The ARW is a yearly event hosted by the Council of Student Organizations which aims to help various organizations of the university to recruit new members. Last year, Rotaract DLSU-M was able to recruit a total of 225 members. This year, RAC DLSU-M aims to recruit more members during this event.

Alumni Homecoming

This year, Rotaract Club of De La Salle University-Manila will be celebrating its 40th year anniversary and 20th year since re-chartering. With that said, Rotaract DLSU-M will be hosting a gathering for the Alumni of the club during its charter anniversary this coming October 2018. This occasion will give the alumni of the organization a chance to meet and bond again. They will also get to know how the organization has been doing throughout the years. Furthermore, this event will be an avenue for the members and officers of Rotaract DLSU-M to get to know and be connected with the alumni of the organization.

TED TALKS / BIG “I” SYMPOSIUM

The Rotaract Club of College of St. Benilde will be organizing a Ted Talks symposium in the university that is geared towards raising awareness about depression. This event will be composed of different talks that could help in the development of an individual. It includes elevating the self-confidence of an individual to reach his maximum potential. Another part of this event could be talks about how to build a genuine relationship with others who could help them be effective when they graduate or work with their classmates and/or peers. It will be opened to all interested individuals even outside St. Benilde.

LibRun (Fun Run)

Since not many public schools in the country could easily transition to the K-12 curriculum, the Rotaract Club of College of Saint Benilde will be organizing a fun run to help ease this problem. This event intends to raise funds to purchase reference books that will be donated to public schools in Benguet in partnership with the Department of Education. This event is also planned to give to more schools in the future as the club learns on how to increase the reach of the event. The event is estimated to be implemented around August to December 2018 and open to non-Benildeans as well.

RACRakan (Concert for a Cause)

The Rotaract Club of St Benilde will organize a fund raising event to promote indie artists’ talent in music. This event also aims to develop the officers of the club in processing of papers for various activities as well as hosting a huge event. Aside from gaining funds for different community service activities of the club for the year, it will also be a great avenue for promoting Rotaract in the Benildean community especially that the club is just on its second year since chartering.
