RC GEMS "Christmas in July" Welcomes the Rotary Year 20-21 "Rotary Opens Opportunities"

-


The true heart of Rotarians - dedicated and passionate with the true spirit of service "service above self" persists among the members of RC Makati GEMS as the club celebrated "Christmas in July" amidst the challenges of these trying times.

Inspired by the first Filipino Rotary International President Matt Caparas and furthered by the RI Director Raffy Garcia, the spirit of giving on the first day of the rotary year never ceases among the members of GEMS.




Each year, since the founding of the club in 2009, GEMS holds the advocacy of giving love and gifts to the children through the project "Christmas in July".

In this rotary year (2020 -2021), with the theme "Rotary Opens Opportunities", the spirit of giving was extended to the frontliners who are our heroes in fighting against the pandemic. RC Makati Gems with its co-host club RC Fort Bonifacio Global City involved the parents of the children as the recipients of the club's gifts for Christmas in July. Part of the goal of the celebration was to put a smile to the parents of the children who are selflessly serving the country in battling against COVID19.





Through the ardent joint efforts of the generous RC Makati GEMS members, guided by CP Maricris Lim and led by the Perfect Vision President (PVP) Richard Cariño and the League of Presidents, 400 children of the baranggay tanod frontliners were blessed with the multivitamins, vitamins C, slippers, workbooks introducing the 3Rs of learning (Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic) milk, Gardenia bread, cookies, facemasks and toys packed in useful tote bags with the rotary logo.

RC Makati GEMS' Christmas in July celebration was successfully concluded on July 1, 2020 as the gifts were handled to the LGU frontliners of Pasay.

No pandemic can stop the GEMS to prevail its advocacy of Christmas in July.

GEMS extends its heartfelt thanks to those who supported to make the project happen especially to the Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto and the city LGU.
