Free dog vaccination & rabies prevention continuing commitment of RC Holy Spirit, partners and volunteers to protect community

In partnership with Don Antonio HeightsHomeowners Association, the Quezon CityVeterinarians Office and the Bureau of Animal

Industry, RC Holy Spirit organized and coordi-nated this years dog vaccination campaignlast June 25, 2016 in four (4) vaccination cen-ters in BarangayHoly Spirit.

A total of 527 dogs and cats (pure breeds,cross breeds, and natives) were given freerabies-vaccination shots by four (4) veterinari-ans that included RC Holy Spirit member DrBert Olivar. Most of the pets came with theirrespective patient record cards.

The tedious task of registering the dogs andcats and controlling the flow of the pets and

their owners were again cheerfully done bymembers of the ROTARACT CLUB OF HOLYSPIRIT and of the INTERACT CLUB OF HOLYSPIRIT NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. The Inter-actors came with their faculty adviser, MsElizabeth Auxillo, who herself helped in thecommunity service activity.

The youth partners were inspired by the pres-ence of Harold Kim Maggay, Past President ofthe Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit, who had ex-cused himself from work to help in this project

which PP Harold referred to as a familiaportunity for service-above-self.

More on the 8th anti-rabies campaign of Holy Spirit and partners June 25

Rabies is a Latin word that means,"madness, rage, fury".

Rabies causes acute inflammation ofthe brain. In non-vaccinated humans,rabies is almost invariably fatal aftersymptoms have developed, althoughprompt post-exposure vaccination

may prevent the virus from progress-ng

The route of infection is usually by abite. In many cases the infected ani-mal becomes exceptionally aggressive,may attack without provocation, andexhibits otherwise uncharacteristicbehavior

Rabies can be prevented by vaccina-tion. It can also be prevented by avoiding to be bitten by a mad dogor an infected person.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed the Anti-Rabies Act of 2(Republic Act 9482), which seeks to eliminate human and animabies.

The law prescribes the roll-out of a National Rabies Prevention Control Program, which will be implemented by a multi-agency cmittee chaired by the Bureau of Animal Industry.

The program involves the mass vaccination of dogs, establishmena central database system for registered and vaccinated dogs,pounding, field control and disposition of stray and unvaccindogs.

RA 9482 requires pet owners to have their dog regularly vaccinato maintain control of their dog and not allow it to roam any puplace without a leash, to provide their dog with proper groomadequate food and clean shelter, to report within 24 hours any biting incident, to assist the dog bite victim immediately, anshoulder the medical expenses of the victim.

The law imposes fines and imprisonment for certain acts of irressible pet ownership.

Why I would raise chickensPublished on June 9, 2016 by Bill Gates,Co-chair, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

If you were living on $2 a day, what would you do to im-prove your life?

Thats a real question for the nearly 1 billion people livingn extreme poverty today.

Theres no single right answer, of course, and povertyooks different in different places. But through my workwith the foundation, Ive met many people in poor coun-tries who raise chickens, and I have learned a lot aboutthe ins and outs of owning these birds. (As a city boyfrom Seattle, I had a lot to learn!) Its pretty clear to methat just about anyone whos living in extreme poverty isbetter off if they have chickens.

In fact, if I were in their shoes, thats what I would do - Iwould raise chickens. Heres why:

They are easy and inexpensive to take care of. Manybreeds can eat whatever they find on the ground(although its better if you can feed them, because theyllgrow faster). Hens need some kind of shelter where theycan nest, and as your flock grows, you might want somewood and wire to make a coop. Finally, chickens need afew vaccines. The one that prevents the deadly Newcas-tle disease costs less than 20 cents.

Theyre a good investment. Suppose a new farmerstarts with five hens. One of her neighbors owns arooster to fertilize the hens eggs. After three months, she

can have a flock of 40 chicks. Eventually, with a saleprice of $5 per chickenwhich is typical in West Africashe can earn more than $1,000 a year, versus the ex-treme-poverty line of about $700 a year.

They help keep children healthy. Malnutrition kills morethan 3.1 million children a year. Although eating moreeggswhich are rich in protein and other nutrientscan

help fight malnutrition, many farmers with small flofind that its more economical to let the eggs hatch, the chicks, and use the money to buy nutritious food.if a farmers flock is big enough to give her extra eggsif she ends up with a few broken ones, she may decidcook them for her family.

They empower women. Because chickens are sand typically stay close to home, many cultures regthem as a womans animal, in contrast to larger liveslike goats or cows. Women who sell chickens are likereinvest the profits in their families. Read more awomen and chickens in Melindas blog post.

Dr. Batamaka Som, an anthropologist from BurFaso who has worked with our foundation, has spmuch of his career studying the economic impact of ring chickens in his home country. In this video he

plains why he is so passionate about poultry.

A big bet on chickensOur foundation is betting on chickens. Alongside partnthroughout sub-Saharan Africa, we are working to cresustainable market systems for poultry. Its especimportant for these systems to make sure farmers buy birds that have been properly vaccinated and well suited to the local growing conditions. Our goaeventually help 30 percent of the rural families in sSaharan Africa raise improved breeds of vaccinachickens, up

from just 5 per-cent now.

When I wasgrowing up,chickens werentsomething youstudied, theywere somethingyou made silly jokes about. It has been eye-openingme to learn what a difference they can make in the fagainst poverty. It sounds funny, but I mean it when I

that I am excited about chickens.

The Small Animal Thats Making a Big Difference for Women in thDeveloping World

June 8, 2016 by Melinda Gates,Co-chair, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Chickens in America have it rough. Theyre the symbolof cowards. Theyre the butt of corny cross-the-roadokes. Every kind of mystery meat is supposed to tasteexactly like them.

But if you ask a woman in a developing country aboutchickens, shes likely to show a lot more respect. Thatsbecause a chicken can mean the difference between aamily that merely survives and one that thrives.

For one thing, chickens are a good source of income.Inact, chickens are known in international development

circles as the ATM of the poor, because they are easyo sell on short notice to cover day-to-day expenses.

Furthermore, eating chickens (and eggs) is good for you.

n fact, they contain seven essential micronutrients likecalcium and vitamin A.

But theres another, less intuitive way that chickens makefe much better for poor people. In most developing

countries, raising chickens is considered womens work,and the money from selling chickens and eggs belongso women to spend as they choose.

n Burkina Faso where the national dish is Poulet Bicy-clette, people eat a lot of chicken and poultry is a big partof their economy. Even a single chicken can make a big

difference in the life of a poor farmer.

Usually, men control a familys income. Men take cashcrops like cocoa and cotton to market. The more milk acow produces, the more likely it is that men will sell themilk and decide what to do with the proceeds. Chickensare the exception. Many men think chickens arent worthheir time be-

cause the in-come from thems small andsporadic. Sowomen fill thegap.

Why is this suchgreat news?Because theevidence showshat when

women controlmoney, they aremore likely thanmen to spend iton priorities thathelp fight pov-

erty, like education, health, and nutrition. I come acroslot of statistics in my line of work, and maybe the one been most impressed by is this: When a woman contrthe familys income, her children are 20 percent more

likely to live past the age of 5.

Behind that abstract percentage stand millions of womwho sacrifice to make sure their families have what thneed. When I visit poor communities and speak withwomen about their lives, they tell me about the dailystruggle to give their children a chance at a better lifethan they had. And a lot of times, one of the most powful weapons in that struggle is a small flock of chicken

In India, our foundation works closely with an amazing

organization called Pradan, which is staffed by Indianswho know intimately what life is like for the people wetrying to help. So I put a lot of stock in the fact thatPradan is currently running a project to help women rachickens. Theyre focused on the details of the businehow to use credit to get started, organize into coopetives to fetch better prices, and work with animal healtworkers to keep flocks healthy. But before they dig intthese specifics of how, Pradan always explains thewhy of its work. The chicken business, they say, givthe woman farmer an income from her labor while giviher the dignity and control of an owner.

Dignity and control. These prerequisites of empowermcan be hard to come by for women in developing countries. But when women are able to express their dignitand seize control, sometimes with the help of their chiens, they transform their livesand the lives of everyoaround them.

ust before John Germ dropped by, Rick Youngbloodok a deep breath. You want to match his energy, he

ays, but he makes it hard to keep up. Youngblood ise president and CEO of Blood Assurance, a regionalood bank in Chattanooga, Tenn., that Germ helpedund in 1972. After his visit with Youngblood, Germrode between mountains of empty bottles and cans athattanoogas John F. Germ Recycling Center at Or-nge Grove, which he designed, before he drove to aonstruction site and popped a cork to dedicate a Mira-

e League field where special needs children will playaseballall before zipping to the airport for a flight tohicago and a cab ride to Rotary International Worldeadquarters, where he takes office as president of RIis month.

Why the breakneck pace? I dont have hobbies, heays. Civic work is my recreation.ot long ago Germ, 77, spent a raucous evening at thehattanooga Convention Center, enjoying jokes at hisxpense. John is a very influential person, his friendarry Fields announced from the podium. I cant tellou how many people emulate him at Halloween. Iean, hes the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome.

When its dark, hes handsome! Nobody laughed

arder than the guest of honor at the celebration of hisontributions, which was referred to as the roast ofohn Germ. The dinner raised more than $75,000 forhattanooga State Community College. In closing,elds noted Germs contribution to his community ande world: 100 percent of himself and everyone elsee can shake down!

legendary fundraiser, Germ led Rotarys $200 Millionhallenge, an effort sparked by a challenge grant frome Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Rotarians ulti-ately exceeded that number, raising $228.7 million to

ght polio. He has already served Rotary as vice presi-ent and director, and The Rotary Foundation as vicehair and trustee. His contributions to the fight to eradi-

ate polio led to his selection as one of 12 U.S. Rotari-ns honored at the White House in 2013 as aChampion of Change someone who has improvedommunities around the world. As president, Germhose three simple, no-nonsense words to be theeme of his year: Rotary Serving Humanity.

Rotary has kept its light under a bushel for too long,e says. We need to do a better job of promoting ourause. Thats the challenge ahead, but I dont see it asproblem. I dont believe in problems I believe in

pportunities.

he son of a stonemason, who built the family hometh his own hands, excavating its foundation with a

hovel and a wheelbarrow, Germ developed his work

hic early in life. After a stint in vocational school, he

paid his way through the University ofTennessee at Knoxville by working in amachine shop and serving food in a dormcafeteria. After graduating, he joined theU.S. Air Force. Soon promoted to captain,he was navigator on a 50-ton Douglas C-124, ferrying troops and tanks to Vietnam.Unfortunately, he says, we flew home

with soldiers bodies. In 1965 Germs C-124 carried the Gemini IV space capsuleto Cape Kennedy. On another mission, thegiant plane lost two engines and skimmedthe ocean, shaking like a bumper car all

the way back to base. When we landed, we foundseaweed hanging off the fuselage, he says. Thatshow close we came to a watery grave.

When Germs military service ended, he joined engi-neering firm Campbell & Associates in his hometown.His boss, George Campbell, liked the young fliers can-do attitude. Within 10 years, Germ told him, Ill eitherown some of this company or Ill be your biggest com-petitor. He wasnt wrong. He eventually became chair-

man and CEO of the firm, which went on to serve Chat-tanoogas airport, its most prominent hospital, severaldowntown high-rises, and the Convention Center. Oneof his challenges was a new cineplex, where the ownergave him a warning that puzzled him at first: Dontmake the air conditioning too good.

Germ asked, Why not?

Because the customers need to smell the popcorn; wemake most of our money at the concession stand.

As president, Germ wants to find the popcorn smellthatll bring people to Rotary. And what is that? Service.Weve got a service-minded generation coming up.Weve got to get our message out to them, and wed

better do it fast.Part of that message, he says, is that polio hasnt beeneradicated yet. We may be this close, but there werestill 74 cases worldwide last year (all in Pakistan andAfghanistan). His own father was st ruck with the dis-ease as an adult. We were on a fishing trip when mybrother said, Daddy cant walk, Germ recalls. Wecarried him back to the car. Doctors said hed neverstand up again, but he did exercises. He tied an ironweight to his leg and tried to lift it. Little by little he got towhere he could lift that weight and wave it around. Hewalked with a limp after that, but he walked. Germthinks he inherited a little of his fathers stubbornness. Idont give up easily either, he says.

Hes certainly not giving up on supporting polio eradica-tionand hes calling on Rotarians to follow his lead byurging every Rotary club to give at least $2,650 to fightpolio during his term, which is also The Rotary Founda-tions centennial year. The number commemorates thefirst donationof $26.50, made by the Rotary Club ofKansas City, Mo., in 1917to the Foundation. Duringthe 2017 Rotary International Convention, a birthdaycelebration is also planned for Arch Klumph with ticketscosting $26.50. If that all sounds a little gimmicky, fine.If we can get people to pay attention, Germ says,theyll see that Rotary is doing great things in theworld.

His presidency marks the apex of a life devoted to

service. Previously active in the Jaycees, Germ joined

the Rotary Club of Chattanooga in 1976. A naturalleader and inveterate schmoozer, he has set fundring records for Rotary and other organizations. TheBlood Assurance program grew from a single bloodraw into a regional network that supplies over 70health centers in the Southeast with more than 100units a year. It began when the United Way sent thdoctors to the Chattanooga Jaycees to seek help w

blood shortage, recalls Germs friend and co-foundBlood Assurance, Dan Johnson. John was the Jaypresident and I was treasurer, so I got to watch himaction, Johnson says. When he goes to work, henever looks back. From nothing, we grew to our cubudget of $29 million. With help from Germ, Johnsand others, Blood Assurance got its message out:Donating a pint of blood is a painless way to spendminutes and save three lives.

Germs success as a fundraiser comes from his outhe-box thinking. Go back to the 90s, when he wadistrict governor. People thought of him as Mr. Chanooga. We bought a barrel of Jack Daniels whiskehonor of [well-known Tennessee Rotarian] Bill Ser

geant. A barrel is 266 bottles worth, so we gave onbottle from that barrel to anyone who donated $1,0and we raised $250,000. The two men have oftentended bar for charity, wearing matching apronsmarked Bar and Tender. My friend John is mygreatest hero, says Fields.

Today his schedule changes dailysometimes hoas he keeps up with the duties of his new office. his agenda, he says he would like to see Rotary opate more like a business. Weve been getting leanand Id like to speed that up. In January, for instancwere going to hold our Board meeting in Chicago istead of San Diego. That means we wont have to couple dozen staff members to San Diego and put

up there. Its just common sense. He wants to shoBoard meetings, shrink some RI committees, and smoney on committee meetings to make Rotary mocost-effective.

Half a century after landing his last C-124, Germ sehimself as Rotarys navigator, plotting a course towa bright future. Its going to be a team effort, he saHis main target after polio will be Rotarys static mebership. On that issue, he says, The fault is with uthe current Rotarians. He wants members to steptheir outreach. I really think one of our main problethat we dont ask enough people to join. Why? For of rejection. We need to get over thatto get out tand bring in new members well be proud of.

To appeal to younger members, he supports a newmove (approved at the Council on Legislation in Apthat allows membership in Rotaract and Rotary at same time. Im all in favor of that, he says.

It doesnt stop there. Germ supports flexibility in mRotary matters. Our clubs have always been orgaaround a meal. Lunch and dinner were part of our dand that system served us well. But society haschanged, he says. Rotary International is catchingby allowing clubs more leeway in when and how thmeet. How do we accommodate the 30-year-old bnessperson raising a family? Well, for one thing, wcould pay less attention to attendance, he adds. question isnt How many meetings did you ma

Its How are you making a difference in your comunity?' "

Council grants clubs more flexibility in meeting, membershipBy Arnold Grahl, Rotary News, 18 April 2016

The 2016 Council on Legislation may well beremembered as one of the most progressivein Rotary history.

Not only did this Council grant clubs more freedom indetermining their meeting schedule and membership, italso approved an increase in per capita dues of $4 ayear for three years. The increase will be used to en-hance Rotarys website, improve online tools, and addprograms and services to help clubs increase member-ship.

The Council is an essential element of Rotarys govern-ance. Every three years, members from around the worldgather in Chicago to consider proposed changes to thepolicies that govern the organization and its member

clubs. Measures that are adopted take effect 1 July.

The tone for this year was set early, when the RI Boardput forth two proposals that increase flexibility. The firstmeasure allows clubs to decide to vary their meetingtimes, whether to meet online or in person, andwhen to cancel a meeting, as long as they meet atleast twice a month.The second allows clubs flexibilityin choosing their membership rules and requirements.Both passed.

Representatives also approved removing six member-ship criteria from the RI Constitution and replacing themwith a simple requirement that a member be a person ofgood character who has a good reputation in their busi-ness or community and is willing to serve the community.

The $4 per year dues increase was based on a five-yearfinancial forecast that predicted that if Rotary didnt eitherraise dues or make drastic cuts, its reserves would dipbelow mandated levels by 2020. The yearly per capitadues that clubs pay to RI will be $60 in 2017-18, $64 in2018-19, and $68 in 2019-20. The next council will es-

tablish the rate after that.

We are at a moment in time when we must think beythe status quo, said RI Vice President Greg E. PoWe must think about our future. Podd said the dincrease will allow RI to improve My Rotary, developsources so clubs can offer a better membership expence, simplify club and district reporting, improve webaccess for Rotaractors, and update systems to keep tary in compliance with changing global regulations.

Also because of this Councils decisions:

A Council on Resolutions will meet annually onlinconsider resolutions recommendations to theBoard. Council members will be selected for three-yterms. Theyll participate in the Council on Resolut

for three years and the Council on Legislation in thenal year only. The Council on Resolutions will freeCouncil on Legislation to concentrate on enactmentchanges to Rotarys governing documents. Proponpredict that the Council on Legislation can then be shened by a day, saving $300,000.

Rotaractors will be allowed to become memberRotary clubs while they are still in Rotaract. Pronents argued that too few Rotaractors (around 5 perc

join Rotary. Sometimes its because they dont wanleave their Rotaract clubs before they have to, u

reaching age 30. Its hoped that giving them moretions will boost the numbers of qualified young leadeRotary.

The distinction between e-clubs and traditional clwill be eliminated. The Council recognized that chave been meeting in a number of ways, and given flexibility, the distinction was no longer meaningful. Cthat have e-club in their names can keep it, howeve

The reference to admission fees will be removed fthe bylaws. Proponents argued that the mention of

mission fees does not advance a modern image of tary.

A standing committee on membership was establisin recognition that membership is a top priority of theganization, and polio eradication was also reaffirmebe a goal of the highest order.
