Last November 10, 2018, CKSian Rotaractors participated in the tree planting project entitled “A Tree for Every Rotarian” held at the La Mesa Watershed in Quezon City. The project was spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Manila Bay in partnership with the Rotary Club of Chinatown Manila, Rotary Club of Raha Sulayman Manila, and Rotary Club Hiyas ng Maynila in celebration of the 100 years of Rotary in Asia.

Before the participants get their hands soiled, Mr. Roel Gallibu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources briefed everyone as to how the small plant would grow and how it would eventually grow into a forest of trees.

The CKSian Rotaractors were able to plant 24 trees. This shows that even CKSians have green thumbs after all.

It was held at the Leong Hall Auditorium, Ateneo De Manila University Loyala Campus.

The talk centered on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) or also known as The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The Chinese government adopted this as a development strategy that involves infrastructure development, investments in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Volunteering in all shapes and forms strengthens our communities. Last October 7, 2018 the Rotaract Club of Chiang Kai Shek College, held a feeding program entitled “Fun Day, Sunday!” held at Barangay 292, Zone 28, District 3, Binondo, Manila. This program was further made possible due to Rotaract’s collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Chinatown Manila, Junior Management Society and Junior Organization of Chiang Kai Shek College.

The event was hosted by RAC CKSC’s Inspiring President Ms. Patricia Intia and Junior Management Society’s PRO External Ms. Danna Chang, whose energies kindled the enthusiasm of the children audiences.

The event is indeed one great opportunity for the students to partake in spreading love to the neglected sectors of society. The value of sharing is to give help to those who needed it the most.
