diversity. Why should they be allowed to<br />
become a cause <strong>of</strong> division, and violence?<br />
We demean our common humanity by<br />
allowing that to happen. ...”<br />
Ang kapayapaan ay hindi lamang<br />
kawalan ng tunggalian; ang kalayaan ay<br />
bunga ng kapaligirang lahat ay uunlad<br />
ano man ang kanyang lahi, kulay, kredo,<br />
relihiyon, kasarian, antas, o panlipunang<br />
tatak ng pagkakaiba.<br />
Ang relihiyon, etnisidad, wika,<br />
panglipunan at pangkulturang kinagisnan<br />
ay mga elementong nagpayaman sa<br />
sibilisasyon, at nagdagdag sa halaga ng<br />
ating dibersidad. Bakit ang mga bagay na<br />
ito ay magbubunga pa ng pagkakahati?<br />
Tayo ang magpapababa sa ating pagkatao<br />
kapag ito’y ating pinayagan. .<br />
What would it take to achieve peace<br />
and change the world? As a Rotarian, how<br />
can I make a difference?<br />
<strong>Rotary</strong> international, founded in<br />
1905, is recognized as the first volunteer<br />
organization ...<br />
The mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> International<br />
is to provide service to others, promote<br />
integrity, and advance world understanding,<br />
goodwill, and peace through its fellowship<br />
<strong>of</strong> business, pr<strong>of</strong>essional, and community<br />
leaders.<br />
<strong>Rotary</strong> has 1.2 million members<br />
worldwide in more than 200 countries and<br />
still growing...<br />
The <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Makati</strong> Business<br />
District is one <strong>of</strong> among the 34,000 clubs<br />
worldwide... wherein you will find diversity<br />
in members ... coming from different race,<br />
colour, creed, religion and gender.... BUT...<br />
With one and the same mission: it<br />
is a commitment to our motto “Service<br />
Above Self”.<br />
We volunteer in communities at home<br />
and abroad to support education and job<br />
training, provide clean water, combat<br />
hunger, improve women’s and children’s<br />
health and sanitation, eradicate polio and<br />
peace and conflict resolution..<br />
And as Rotarian, my personal vocation<br />
as an educator , life coach and a clinical<br />
hypnotherapist ... I do share my free<br />
time with other club mates to teach - and<br />
give therapy for the transformation <strong>of</strong><br />
the women inmates at the “Correctional<br />
institute for Women” in Mandaluyong<br />
.. It’s a way to help them achieve inner<br />
peace, thru unloading their painful past ..<br />
forgiveness to oneself to be able to achieve<br />
fullest transformation as they are being<br />
prepared to face the society again..<br />
With all <strong>of</strong> the above mentioned,<br />
<strong>Rotary</strong> International has truly created an<br />
environment <strong>of</strong> peace thru diversity in<br />
service.<br />
As Rotarians we pledge to promote<br />
peace ..<br />
Peace that starts from “within” thru<br />
service..<br />
As we continually engage in rotary we<br />
shall continue to change lives...<br />
After the reading <strong>of</strong> all the chosen<br />
excerpts, all the guests were invited to<br />
write a short message on a huge board<br />
which will be sent to Pres Mandela. The<br />
South African Ambassador’s representative<br />
thanked all <strong>of</strong> us and will personally send to<br />
Pres Mandela our prayers and well wishes<br />
for his speedy recovery ...<br />
