Issue No. 4022

In a world increasingly marked by disparity and division, the efforts of individuals and organizations to uplift disadvantaged communities shine brightly as beacons of hope. Among these efforts stands Atty. Dermot Doyne's "School of Hard-Knocks," an initiative that has made a profound impact on countless lives. Doyne's movement, founded on the principle of providing disadvantaged children with critical life skills and education, exemplifies a powerful model of service and resilience. His work resonates deeply with the core values of the Rotary Club of Manila, making it a compelling case study in the synergy between dedicated service and community enrichment.
