PRESIDENT’S CORNER PRAYER

Fellow Rotarians and guests,

lets bow down our heads and feel the

presence of the Lord.

Almighty Father, we thank you

for this beautiful morning and for ar-

ranging our schedule with your mantle

of protection in attending our regular

meeting. Thank you for giving us our

professions and businesses. Thank

you above all for giving us this oppor-

tunity to serve and share with those

who have less in life.

Continue to shower us all the-

se blessings that we may be able to

serve mankind. Touch us and our

brothers and sisters who are sick with

your miraculous hands and bless the

medicines they are taking. Bless and

enlighten our leaders to continue

working for peace and prosperity of

our nation.

Bless the food we are about to

partake that it may nourish us physi-

cally and spiritually and bless also the

hands that prepared

them. These we ask in

the Mighty Name of

Jesus, AMEN.

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

Just like that, We are

about to depart the

3rd month of our

RY2020-21. This week,

We were rostered to

turnover the laptop computers to Holy Cross

to support the ‘No one left behind’ program

but due to the delay in the arrival of the units,

we will not be able to do that. We will re-

schedule once a firm date of arrival is known.

So today, I am sharing to the club the project

of the C.O.P.S. which is conceptualized by

Pres. Bambi Navaro of the RC Dumaguete.

This will be presented by Our Speaker today

Mr. Rez Macion, president of Sangguniang

Kabataan. Once we get to know more of this

project, please share any idea you may have

on how else we can support and give impact

to this project.

Thank you once again and more power!

Yours in Rotary,

Pres. Ran Lim

ROTARY COACHES THE YOUTH

Continue from page 7…

Once these students will be identified we

will now be tapping the vast resource of

unemployed college grads in the Baran-

gay preferably education graduates or

even from the members of the SK who

are qualified to tutor the children. We call

them “Rotary Volunteer Tutors ” or

RVT.

Each Barangay will have a model of 2

RVT ’ s handling 25 students and will do

their tutorial on a weekly basis. Figures

will be dependent on the idiosyncrasy of a

particular Barngay. ( 1 ) One RVT will be

handling Grades 1-3 the other will be han-

dling Grades. This is for the purpose of

specialization. These RVT ’ s will be giv-

en an honorarium of 40-50 pesos per tu-

tored children and will spend at least an

hour assisting the children and ensuring

that the child has a higher chance of com-

pleting the module. The children will be

visited once a week until the student will

be able to gain confidence. On top of the

honorarium, we will also be providing 2

RVT T-shirt bearing the Rotary Logo, 1

Face-shield, 1 Face-mask, personal alco-

hol and will be oriented on how to avoid

possible contamination during his tutorial

activities. A week before the start of Clas-

ses in the public school which is on Octo-

ber 5, 2020, the RVT ’ s will be coordinat-

ing with the teachers of their assigned

grade level, familiarize themselves with

the module and identify possible prob-

lems in preparation for their tutorial ser-

vices. Every Saturday, the RVT ’ s will be

doing 1 last round of their students for

evaluation and possible intervention if

required. In the afternoon the RVT will

provide a progress report to the assigned

Rotarian ’ s in that Barangay for monitor-

ing. An honorarium and snacks will be

provided to the RVT on that day. This pro-

gram will run for 2 months starting on Oc-

tober 05, 2020 and visits will be tapered

down depending on the needs of the stu-

dents. From 4x a week tutorial on the first

2 months to 2x a week on the third month

and finally once a month till the student

will gain confidence.

Now why is the program called “Rotary

Coaches the Youth ” . This is because

Rotary coaches the youth to utilized the

resources they have in the Barangay like

the unemployed college grads to help the

students from the public school have a

better chance in education while providing

guidance and financial compensation to

the Rotary Youth Volunteers or RVT. In

short with this program we will be hitting 2

birds with one stone.

ROTARY COACHES THE YOUTH

This Program was conceptualized after

viewing and studying the prevailing edu-

cational system for Primary students in

the Philippines given the current Pan-

demic situation. The educational system

in the Country right now is categorized

into (2) two. The on-line system which is

mostly utilized by Private Schools and

the Module System which will be prac-

ticed by the Public schools starting Octo-

ber 5, 2020. “Rotary Coaches the Youth”

will be targeting the students from the

Public School who will be operating on

the Module System. The idea of the

Module system is that the student/

parents will pick up the module from the

school or designated kiosk, bring the

module home, answers it, and bring back

the completed module to the school the

following Monday and then secure anoth-

er set of module, answer it again and so

on and so forth. Since the Module Sys-

tem is a home based learning it is ex-

pected that in case the student will have

some difficulty the family will provide as-

sistance. However in reality this will be a

long shot. Why? Because incidentally a

significant number of parents of public

school students are not equipped to pro-

vide help because either #1. They them-

selves are not capable enough or #2.

The parents are out there making ends

meet by working, like selling vegetables

in the market, doing laundry or etc just to

put food on the table. Given these cir-

cumstances, and without proper guid-

ance and tutorial, the student will likely to

drop out. Numerous children will be left

behind. This is where the program of

“Rotary Coaches the Youth” will come in.

By collaborating with Sanguniang

Kabataan (SK) of each Barangay, we will

be identifying the recipient through (4)

criteria:

1. Students from grade 1-6

2. Socio-economic status of the student

family

3. Nature of the work of the Parents of

the student

4. Capacity of the Parents to teach the

student
