    The yuletide season ushers in a different atmosphere distinctive to a

    of us Filipinos and none other. It is the atmosphere of revitalizing o

    our relations with one anotherour FAMILY and our FRIENDS. Th

    long season affords everyone to renew family ties in a very special wa

    as has been our tradition since time immemorial. After all, our countrhas the longest celebration of Christmas.

    Feliz Navidad a todos!

    The year 2016 will be an exciting year for Rotarians of Zamboang

    Peninsula Region. Zamboanga City will once again host the Distric

    3850 Conference. Preparations for the event are in full throttle. Ou

    DISCON 2016 Committee Chairman, PP Edwin To, is leaving no stonunturned in line the said preparations for our DISCON 2016. See yo

    Here in our City of Zamboanga, the local government unit recognize

    the importance of the program. It began implementing the WaSH i

    Schools program. Last Novermber 2015, the local government unit oZamboanga City, with the support of UNICEF, trained 700 public schoo

    teachers that will be part of the Technical Working Group to implemen

    the program. Through these teachers, WaSH in Schools program wa

    implemented in 8 elementary schools with a combined population o

    daily group toothbrushing, daily group handwashing with soap an

    twice a year deworming in schools.

    I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the following: AG Ju

    Kwan for the cover of our December 2015 GML issue and the photoof RC Zamboanga City Easts 41st Anniversary, and the Rotary Club o

    Dipolog for sharing their photos on the occassion of their Clubs 65t

    Anniversary.

    As we observe and celebrate the Christmas season, I leave with with th

    thoughts from Oren Arnold: Christmas gift suggestions: to your enem

    forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To

    customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. T

    yourself, respect.

    When the Canadian army liberated the Netherlands in 1945, they founthe country on the brink of starvation. Seeing the suffering of so manyand especially moved by the faces of the children, four Canadian private

    stationed near Apeldoorn that year decided to make that Christmas special for amany Dutch children as they could.

    Together, they made the rounds among their fellow soldiers, collecting chocolatbars and chewing gum, candy and comic books. In their spare moments, they builtoy trucks out of wood and wire, sawed scrap lumber for building blocks; onerisking the military police, sold his cigarette ration on the black market, using thmoney to buy rag dolls. Each thought longingly of his own family at home; eachchanneled his energies instead toward the children whose Christmas they knewthey could brighten.

    By 1 December, four sacks of gifts lay ready; the soldiers eagerly looked forward tthe 25th. But two days later, they learned the date they were to depart for Canada6 December, long before Christmas. With mixed emotions, the soldiers decidethat the best plan simply would be to take their sacks over to the local orphanagand leave them there to await Christmas.

    The night before they were to leave the Netherlands, the four set off for thorphanage, one of them in a makeshift white beard and red cap. On their waythey were surprised to hear church bells ringing and see houses lit brightlywith Christmas still some weeks away. As they approached the orphanage, bootcrunching in the snow, they saw through the windows that the children, two dozegirls and boys, were gathered at their evening meal. Only a few months after thwars end, food was still scarce; the meal was small, and the childrens faces paleand thin.

    Santa Claus raised the knocker on the door and knocked three times, hardAs if by magic, the chatter of young voiceinside fell silent; a priest opened the door. Hipolite expression gave way to one of shock, athe children behind him erupted into cheers

    rushing forward and swarming the private whhad dressed for Christmas three weeks earl but exactly on time. For in the NetherlandsSinterklaas comes on St. Nicholas Eve: December.

    For an hour, joyful chaos reigned as packagewere opened and exclaimed over, sweets were tasted, dolls caressed. The laswooden truck, the last bar of chocolate, went into the hands of a little boy whohad been waiting patiently all the while. After thanking the men, he turned to thpriest and said something to him in Dutch, his face alight with happiness. Thpriest smiled and nodded. What did he say? one of the soldiers asked.

    The priest looked at them with eyes full of tears. He said, We told you he wouldcome.

    By sending joy out into the world, we do not sacriice it for ourselves we onlymultiply it. As we enter this season of giving, let us multiply the gifts we havbeen given by sharing them with others. Through acts of caring, kindness, andgenerosity, in our clubs and through our Foundation, we become and remain a gifto the world.

    WATER has been on earth longer than MAN. Called the Source of Life, it nourishes everything that it touches: tearth, the plants, the animals, man. Water is a gift to man, who needs it more than it needs him. Unfortunateman has done, through time, thoughtless and selish acts that abuse water excessively and unsustainably thatunabated, will eventually lead to mans own destruction.

    These destructive acts of man have rendered the state of WATER todayfrom its supply and conservation to drinkability and sanitationa global concern. Nearly a million deaths a year are attributed to unclean WATER as was 1.5 percent of the global burden of disease. The stark reality, however, is that over 780 million people still have access to clean water and nearly 1.9 billion lack adequate sanitation.

    Against this backdrop, the 2016 Presidential Conference on WASH in Schools (with emphasis on Water, Sanitation aHygiene) on 18-19 March 2016 in Manila, Philippines inds its relevance as well as its urgency. Spearheaded by RotaInternational, it will bring together stakeholders in this global concernfrom the government and private sectorsthe non-governmental and volunteer organizations in the Philippines and other Asian countries.

    The conference is designed to offer a wealth of salient information, a forum of ideas, and an avenue for discussiabout WATER concerns particularly in the Southeast Asia region. It will highlight WATER situations in schools aamong schoolchildren. It will address WATER education among communities, down to the grassroots level. It wsimultaneously hold a project fair showcasing best practices in water and water-related projects particularly in schoand featuring a space for discussions among present and prospective stakeholders.

    At the end of this healthy exchange, it is the conferences objective to produce concrete actions from the conferenparticipants towards the betterment of mans precious resource, WATER.

    P R E S I D E N T S M E S S A G E

    More than 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation acilities. At least 3,0children die each day rom diarrheal diseases caused by unsae water. Rotary is worki

    I

    ts interesting to watch how the same problem canmanifest itself in different ways. Take water, forinstance. As I visited different club projects when

    I was a district governor of District 3820, Philippines,I observed that water was a concern all over myvast district composed of urban and rural areas,mountains and islands. In urban areas, the problemwas not so much water supply as its potability,cleanliness and sanitation. Within rural communities,water supply becomes

    more and more critical. Inboth situations, the healthof the local community iscompromised.

    We have many examplesof clubs addressing water,

    sanitation, and hygieneissues throughout ourdistrict. The town ofCandelaria is mountainous,with many smallcommunities scattered

    in the highlands. With anincrease in population andthe natural supply of waterlike rivers and mountainsprings beginning todisappear, water supply

    became a serious problem.

    In 2006, the Rotary Club

    of Candelaria organizeda project to supply onemountain community withwater using a tank andpiping system. After completing the project through

    the help of a Matching Grant*, the club applied for moregrants. The club has already supplied 10 communitieswith their respective water supply systems.(*Matching Grants have since been phased out; learnmore about Foundation grants at www.rotary.org/grants). To add sustainability components, the RotaryClub of Candelaria has sponsored a Rotary Community

    Corps (RCC) in each community to administer theproject. The RCC collects a minimal water supply feefrom every household not only to maintain the system

    but to fund other community projects as well, lischolarships for deserving students.

    With initial inancial support from Rotary and throuthe constant guidance and monitoring from the RotaClub of Candelaria, 10 communities each with a schoor a day care centre, now have a continuous suppof clean water, can fund their childrens educatio

    and have the necessary inancial support to addreother problems in t

    community or start neendeavours.

    Unfortunately matowns are not lucky as CandelarIn many communitiwater is unsanitary unavailable. As su

    water-borne diseasconstantly threatthe lives of peopparticularly children.

    To learn how to tackthese problems fro

    fellow Rotarians alocal and internation

    Water, Sanitatioand Hygiene (WASexperts, join us at t2016 Rotary PresidentConference on WAand WASH in Schools

    Manila, Philippines, 18-19 March.

    The conference will bring together Rotary membeand representatives from the public and private sectto explore Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene needs bolocally and internationally. The event will includeproject fair highlighting Rotary projects in the WA

    sector and will feature engaging speakers, informatiplenary sessions, and hands-on workshops. Attendewill have the opportunity to network with felloleaders and take away new ideas and strategies to pinto action.

    2016 Presidential Conference on

    Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene to Help Address WASH Concerns

    WASH and health

    Poor sanitation, unsafe water and unhygienic practices

    cause millions of children in the developing world to suffer

    needlessly from disease. Water- and sanitation-related

    disease, despite being preventable, remains one of the most

    signiicant child health problems worldwide.

    Diarrhea is the most serious of these diseases, alone killing

    1,600 children each day. More than half of diarrheal disease

    deaths are attributed to unsafe drinking water, inadequate

    sanitation and poor hygiene. Children in developing countries

    typically have four to ive bouts of diarrhea a year. Even whenthey dont kill, these diarrhea episodes can physically and

    mentally stunt children, affecting them for the rest of their

    lives. By weakening children, diarrhea increases mortality

    rates from other opportunist ic diseases, including ARI (acute

    respiratory infections). ARI and diarrhea together account

    for two-thirds of all child deaths worldwide.

    Sanitation is the single most important medical advancesince 1840 British Medical Journal reader survey

    Millions of other children are made sick, weakened or are

    disabled by other water- and sanitation-related diseases

    and infections including cholera, malaria, trachoma,

    schistosomiasis, worm infestations and guinea worm disease.

    And in a growing number of countries, natural or man-made

    pollution of water sources with dangerous contaminants

    threatens millions of people.

    WASH and education

    A high percentage of children suffer from intestinal infections

    caused by parasites as a result of poor hygiene and inadequate

    Access to improved water and sanitation acilities does not, on its own, necessarily lead to improved health. Tere is now very clevidence showing the importance o hygienic behavior, in particular hand-washing with soap at critical times: afer deecatiand beore eating or preparing ood. Hand-washing with soap can significantly reduce the incidence o diarrhoea, which is second leading cause o death amongst children under five years old. In act, recent studies suggest that regular hand-washwith soap at critical times can reduce the number o diarrhea bouts by almost 50 per cent.

    Good hand-washing practices have also been shown to reduce the incidence o other diseases, notably pneumonia, trachomscabies, skin and eye inections and diarrhea-related diseases like cholera and dysentery. Te promotion o hand-washing wsoap is also a key strategy or controlling the spread o Avian Influenza (bird flu).

    Te key to increasing the practice o hand-washing with soap is to promote behavioral change through motivation, inormatiand education. Tere are a variety o ways to do this including high-profile national media campaigns, peer-to-peer educatitechniques, hygiene lessons or children in schools and the encouragement o children to demonstrate good hygiene to thamilies and communities. See the hygiene promotion page [link: Hygiene promotion page] or more inormation.

    It is also true that without water there is no hygiene. Research shows that the less readily available water is, the less likely thgood hygiene will be practiced in households. (http://www.unicef.org/wash/index_hygiene.html)

    How WASH Relates to Health, Education and Development

    Te Importance of Hygiene

    sanitation. Parasites consume nutrients, aggrava

    malnutrition, retard childrens physical development a

    result in poor school attendance and performance. Househ

    chores, such as fetching water, keep many girls out of scho

    Also, the lack of separate and decent sanitation and washi

    facilities in schools discourages girls from attending scho

    full time and forces some to drop out. The majority of the 1million school-age children not in school are girls.

    WASH and development

    Poor water and sanitation exact a heavy economic cost in ter

    of health spending, loss of productivity and labor diversion

    everyone in the world had access to basic water and sanitati

    services, the reduction in diarrheal disease alone would sa

    the health sector $11.6 billion in treatment costs and peopwould gain over 5.6 billion productive days per year. When t

    potential economic gains of providing basic, low-cost wa

    and sanitation facilities are added together, the develop

    world could save as much as $263 billion a year (see bo

    WASH and HIV/AIDS

    Promoting improved hygiene practices and increas

    access to water and sanitation facilities helps to redu

    opportunistic infections among people living with HI

    AIDS. Better access to facilities also reduces the burden

    households caring for AIDS-affected family members. Le

    time spent on fetching water allows caregivers who a

    usually women and girls more time and energy for copi

    with the disease or for working outside the home. Appropri

    sanitation also helps to ensure that AIDS sufferers, many

    whom experience severe bouts of diarrhea, have access

    clean and private facilities. (http://www.unicef.org/wasindex_healthandeducation.html)

    THE ROTARY SANTA PROJECTby PP Jery Olson

    Rotary Club o Roxas Central

    Iarrived here in Roxas City on April 1st 2007,not knowing but one person living here at the

    time.

    My landlord in Baybay was an 84-year oldRotarian Mar Aranjado, an engineer and a

    charter member of the Rotary

    Club of Roxas. He constantly askedme to come to Rotary meetingswith him. This went on for a fewweeks until one day I said, ok, okIll go with you! I agreed just to

    get him off my back! I remembered

    it was a Thursday night. We bothboarded a tricycle he had hired tocome pick him up every Thursday.It was raining that night as wewere on our way to the venue at the

    Image Palace Hotel across town.PP Ray Fagauto was President of the Rotary Club ofMetro Roxas that time. Mar and I arrived soaking wet.

    Indeed, my irst Rotary meeting was baptism into theService above Self. Since that fateful night in Augustof 2007, I have not missed a Rotary meeting if you

    count makeup which we do!

    November arrived quickly. I gavethought to a good project that Icould sink my teeth into and made

    several consultations. I learnedfrom the locals that there neverhad been a foreigner Santa Claus. Iimmediately ordered a Santa suit,beard, hair and other accessories.December of 2007 marked the

    beginning of The ROTARY SANTAPROJECT here in Roxas City.

    The irst ROTARY SANTA PROJECTthat I did was held in a sitio

    situated near my residence. Rotarian Baden Cantillierwas with me. We passed out around of 120 stuffedtoys to the children. Sadly, four children got nothingas the content of my Santa Claus sack ran out. Despitethe torment that not all received their stuffed toys, thebest experience of the day was seeing the childrens

    smiles and cuddling their stuffed toys from SanAfterwards, one older manaround 80 years o

    came up to Santa with tears lowing down his cheeand said, Santa Ive been living here for most all m

    life and this is the irst time Santa has ever visited uThis brought tears to ol Santeyes and a joy in his heart knowi

    that lives had been touched. was truly a simply project wifar-reaching effect.

    Over the past eight years, TH

    ROTARY SANTA PROJECT h

    brought immeasurable joys acountless smiles to residents over the province of Capiztheir homes, schools, hospita

    daycare centers, and shoppi

    malls. Aside from stuffed toSanta Claus also handed out childrens books, toys, acandies that were donated by Rotarians and frienof Rotary. For other gifts of necessities, we will buyourselves for what is Christmas without presents.

    The satisfaction is invaluable being a Santa Claus. Tbiggest gift is the SMILES on the faces of the peop

    seeing Santa Claus and belieme when I say, its VERY HOT SANTA in the PHILIPPINES!

    For this year 2015, Santa Clathe Rotary Club of Metro RoxCentral and Robinsons Mall Roxjoined hands in spreading love a

    joy this Christmas season. SanClaus will be greeting the childr

    by the giant Christmas tree in tcenter of the mall. There will candies for children. A Christmparty will be tendered for 2

    underprivileged and street children of Roxas. We wbrighten their days by sharing the joys of Christmwith themgiving gifts and snacks hoping to matheir Christmas just a little brighter.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
