WHAT IS ORIENTAL MEDICINE?

Korean medicine (Hangul: , Hanja: ) refers to the traditional medical care that originated in ancient Imperial China and
was further developed and practiced in Korea. Traditional Chinese medicine includes forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage
(Tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. It is primarily used as a complementary alternative medicine approach.
ROTARIANS, INTERACTORS, and ROTARACTORS of
Holy Spirit walk miles to plant trees that will preserve the
environment and protect source of our drinking water
Officers and members of the INTERACT CLUB OF HOLY
SPIRIT NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL led by TGP Shane Ma-
cabodbod, the ROTARACT CLUB OF HOLY SPIRIT led by
Sec Jenny Lavares representing TGP Lovely Rose Paalisbo,
and the ROTARY CLUB OF HOLY SPIRIT led by TGP Ric
Salvador and Tree Planting Champion/Chair Rtn Abet Sevilla,
participated in the tree-planting activity organized by the ABS-
CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation at the La Mesa Nature
Reserve.
On August 5, 2017, 22 members of the Holy
Spirit team planted 121 trees.
The benefits of tree-planting: Provides oxygen; Improves air
quality; Conserves water; Preserves soil from erosion; Sup-
ports wildlife.
Annual tree-planting is included in the program of activities of
RC Holy Spirit, with a goal of 30 trees planted in 2017-18 fol-
lowing the suggestion of RI President Ian Riseley.
For the past years the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Founda-
tion, Inc. (ALKFI) has been a partner of the Metropolitan Wa-
terworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the man-
agement of the La Mesa Watershed Reservation, a protected
area that contains the remaining rainforest of its size in Metro
Manila. This is located around the La Mesa Dam and Reser-
voir which is the primary source of potable drinking water for
12 million residents in Metro Manila.
When then RI President-elect Ian Riseley an-
nounced Rotarys theme for 2017-18 he reminded
Rotarians, The time is long past when environ-
mental sustainability can be dismissed as not Ro-
tarys concern. It is, and must be, everyones con-
cern.
RI President Riseley challenged every Rotary club
to make a difference by planting a tree for each of
its members between the start of the Rotary year
on 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018. Trees
remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases from the air, which slows global warming, he
emphasized.
To support its continuing advocacy for environmental conser-
vation and protection, the foundation has adopted the One
Million Trees Challenge. This year, ALKFI's
goal is to plant 140,000 trees in a land area of 50 hectares.
The involvement of Rotary in this project was initiated by TGP
Lovely Rose Paalisbo of RaC Holy Spirit who had been invited
to join as volunteers in the tree-planting activity by MMae
Quesada-Medina, Learning and Development Manager of
ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation. TGP Lovely se-
cured advice from RC Holy Spirit and then took care of coordi-
nating the participation of the Rotaractors, Interactors and Ro-
tarians of Holy Spirit. Congratulations, TGP Lovely !

RC HOLY SPIRIT and BARANGAY HOLY SPIRIT renew their
partnership during the 2017 Quezon City Barangay Summit

During the QC Barangay Summit
held 14 August 2017 at the Mu-
seum in Quezon City Memorial
Circle, Chairman of the Barangay
Council of Holy Spirit Hon. Fe-
licito Kap Valmocina and the
Rotary Club of Holy Spirit D3780
signed a Memorandum of Agree-
ment to continue mutual coopera-
tion and partnership in providing
services that make a difference
for the community.
The partnership between the two
parties began in 2007 when the
Barangay supported the success-
ful effort of Rotary to re-invigorate
the club by co-sponsoring service
projects, by providing venue for
weekly club meetings, and by en-
couraging 3 Kagawads to join RC
Holy Spirit as active members.
The legacies built by the relation-
ship include continuing partner-
ships with Dona Juana Elemen-
tary School and Holy Spirit Na-
tional High School, and the or-
ganization of the Interact and Ro-
taract clubs sponsored by RC
Holy Spirit.
Because TGP Ric Salvador had
to attend to previously set busi-
ness appointments at the Clark
Economic & Industricl Zone, RC
Holy Spirit was more aptly repre-
sented by Sec. PP Marcia Salva-
dor who has been acquainted
with Chairman Chito Valmocina
for longer period on account of
Rotary and Don Antonio Heights

 MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS
RI Presidents August 2017 Message
When someone asks you, "What is Ro-
tary?" what do you say? I think we've all
had the experience of being asked that
deceptively simple question and finding
ourselves suddenly at a loss for words.
Even the most articulate among us have
a hard time capturing the essence of our
organization in just a few sentences.
As an organization, Rotary has always
had a difficult time conveying the scope of our work: not just
what we do, but how we do it, and the value of what we con-
tribute to the world.
As an accountant, I like numbers. They work in every lan-
guage, and often they communicate complex information
much more effectively than words. That is why, in this Rotary
year, I am asking each club to provide Rotary headquarters
with two numbers: the amount of money, both in cash and in
kind, spent on humanitarian service; and the number of
hours of work performed in Rotary's name.
If we want these numbers to be useful, they have to be accu-
rate. That means beginning now to accurately track the
hours and the money that our clubs spend on their service.
The simplest way for clubs to provide this information at the
end of the year will be by entering it every month on Rotary
Club Central a tool that has been completely rebuilt and re-
launched to be significantly more useful, and user-friendly,
than it has been in the past. If for some reason (for example,
limited internet access) your club is not able to connect to
Rotary Club Central, please be in touch with your district
governor, who will ensure that your information can be sub-
mitted through other means.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough that the goal of this ef-
fort is not getting the largest and most impressive numbers.
There is not going to be any competition, recognition, or pub-
lic use whatsoever of the numbers reported by any individual
club. The goal is accurate and reliable numbers that we can
present confidently in our public image work, in our member-
ship materials, and to our partners numbers backed by
specific data, on the club level, that answer not only the
question, "What is Rotary?" but the question, "What does
Rotary do?"
I strongly believe that with these numbers, we will be better
able to demonstrate the value of Rotary: Making a Differ-
ence which in time will enable us to make more of a differ-
ence, for more people, in more ways, than ever.
IAN H. S. RISELEY
President 2017-18
Foundation Chairmans August 2017 Message
What does the chair of The Rotary Foun-
dation Trustees do, anyway? What do the
Trustees do? These questions are often
asked of me in different ways. The Board
of Trustees manages the business of the
Foundation, the charitable arm of our or-
ganization that transforms your gifts into
sustainable outcomes that change lives
both close to home and around the world.
One thing we do is listen. We listen to you,
the members. Your voice comes to us
through many different channels and connections with feed-
back, ideas, concerns, and recommendations.
We listen to our Rotary Foundation committees. We listen to
our regional coordinators and advisers, to the district Founda-
tion committee chairs, and to our district governors. We listen to
our associate Rotary foundations which provide local tax bene-
fits in seven countries.
We listen to our colleagues on the Board of Directors, to our
trusted Rotary staff, to our incredible PolioPlus committees and
our polio partners, to our Rotarian Action Groups and to
the Cadre of Technical Advisers. We listen to feedback from
our six Rotary Peace Centers.
Rotarians are the backbone of the Foundation, so it's important
to listen to you.
For example, listening to Rotarians' ideas at the 2016 Council
on Legislation (COL) led to several significant reforms to en-
hance the membership experience. These reforms offer clubs
more flexibility. For example, an exciting rules change allows a
service project to count as a meeting. Importantly, Rotaractors
can now become members of Rotary clubs while they are still in
Rotaract.
How do these changes benefit The Rotary Foundation? The
strength of the Foundation starts with our members, and we
believe the new club flexibility options will attract and keep
more members. What needs to be accomplished for Rotary to
remain relevant today and for the generations to come? This is
where the COL's three-year cycle is your opportunity to bring
forward ideas to continue the evolution of Rotary. The deadline
for submitting proposed enactments for the 2019 COL is 31
December.
You are our greatest strength. Let me hear from you. I can be
reached at paul.netzel@rotary.org.

 Shared toilets as the path to health and dignity
By Guangzhe CHEN, 2017/07/19
This post is co-authored with Tim Wainwright, Chief Executive, WaterAid and Neil Jeffery, Chief Executive Officer, Water &
Sanitation for the Urban Poor and was originally published on the Financial Times BeyondBrics Blog.
An alley in Mollar Bosti, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Where space and funding do not permit
household toilets, safe, well-managed
community latrines can provide a
healthier alternative to makeshift, unhy-
gienic toilets.
Mollar Bosti is a crowded slum in
Dhaka, Bangladesh, home to 10,000
people: garment workers, rickshaw
drivers, and small traders, all living side
-by-side in tiny rooms sandwiched
along narrow passageways.
With the land subject to monsoon
flooding, and no municipal services to
speak of, the people of Mollar Basti
have been struggling with a very real
problem: what to do with an enormous
IN THE PHILIPPINES
In the course of anti-dengue mos-
quito spraying drive in a commu-

Barangay Council Kagawad Lydia
reminded residents of the impor-
tance of sanitation and cleanliness

and growing amount of human faeces.
Traditionally, their hanging latrines
consisted of bamboo and corrugated
metal structures suspended on poles
above the ground, allowing waste to fall
straight down into a soup of mud and
trash below. Residents tell stories of
rooms flooded with smelly muck during
monsoons; outbreaks of diarrhoea and
fever would quickly follow.
But conditions have improved for much
of the slum. With help of a local NGO,
the residents negotiated permission for
improvement from a private landowner,
and mapped out areas of need. Today,
they proudly show visitors their pristine,
well-lit community latrines and water
points. They report fewer problems with
flooding and disease.
Its true that shared toilets are not all
good toilets. Built badly and managed
poorly, they are dirty, smelly, fill up
quickly, and may be unsafe to use. But
well-managed shared toilets create
cleaner, healthier spaces, and are de-
signed, cleaned, and maintained in a
way that ensures safety and dignity,
particularly for disabled people and for
girls and women: properly lighted, in
well-planned locations, with stalls that
lock.
Decent shared toilets, along with the
provision of clean water and good hy-
giene practices, provide dignity, create
healthier, more productive communi-
ties, improve childrens attendance at
school, and ultimately improve eco-
nomic growth.
They also save lives. An estimated
289,000 children under five die around
the world each year that is one child
every two minutes from preventable
diarrhoeal illnesses linked to dirty wa-
ter, poor sanitation and poor hygiene.
As much as 50% of child malnutrition is
linked to chronic infections which could
be prevented with clean water, decent
toilets, and hand-washing with soap.

SERVICE ABOVE SELF

11 August 2017 A roundup of Rotary news

The Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and
foster the ideal of service as a basis of wor-
thy enterprise and, in particular, to encour-
age and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance
as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in busi-
ness and professions, the recognition of the
worthiness of all useful occupations, and
the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation
as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of ser-
vice in each Rotarian's personal, business,
and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of interna-
tional understanding, goodwill, and peace
through a world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in the ideal of
service.
The Four-Way Test
OF THE THINGS we think, say or do
1) Is it the TRUTH?
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3) Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?
Barry Rassin, of the Ro-
tary Club of East Nassau,
New Providence, Baha-
mas, is the selection of
the Nominating Commit-
tee for President of Ro-
tary International for 2018
-19. He will be declared
the president-elect on 1
September if no challeng-
ing candidates have been
suggested.
As president, Rassin aims to
strengthen our public image and
our use of digital tools to maxi-
mize Rotarys reach.
Those who know what good Rotary
clubs do will want to be a part of it,
and we must find new models for
membership that allow all interested
in our mission to participate, he
says. With Rotary more in the public
eye, we will attract more individuals
who want to be part of and support a
membership organization that ac-
complishes so much good around
the world.
Rassin earned an MBA in health and
hospital administration from the Uni-
versity of Florida and is the first fel-
low of the American Col-
lege of Healthcare Execu-
tives in the Bahamas. He
recently retired after 37
years as president of
Doctors Hospital Health
System, where he contin-
ues to serve as an ad-
viser. He is a lifetime
member of the American
Hospital Association and
has served on several
boards, including the
Quality Council of the Bahamas,
Health Education Council, and Em-
ployers Confederation.
A Rotarian since 1980, Rassin has
served Rotary as director and is vice
chair of The Rotary Foundation
Board of Trustees. He was an RI
training leader and the aide to 2015-
16 RI President K.R. Ravindran.
Rassin received Rotary's highest
honor, the Service Above Self
Award, as well as other humanitarian
awards for his work leading Rotarys
relief efforts in Haiti after the 2010
earthquake there. He and his wife,
Esther, are Major Donors and Bene-
factors of The Rotary Foundation.
