Rotary in Action: Brigada Eskwela and Community Service at Sitio Managba, Manjuyod, Negros Oriental
Service Above Self was once again brought to life as the Rotary Club of Dumaguete South, together with the Rotary Club of Dumaguete, Rotary Club of Dumaguete North, Rotary Club of Dumaguete East, Rotary Satellite Club of Dumaguete South Golden Negros, and Rotary Satellite Club of Dumaguete North Northern Lights, successfully conducted a Brigada Eskwela and Community Medical Mission.
Our journey began at 5:30 AM, as all participating Rotarians gathered at Cansi Diversion Road, Sibulan before traveling together through Barangay Bagtik, Mabinay on our way to the activity site. Despite the cloudy skies, we were blessed with favorable weather throughout the trip, allowing everyone to travel safely and carry out the day’s activities without interruption.
The outreach was filled with meaningful service as volunteers enthusiastically participated in school painting, medical consultations, blood pressure monitoring, ear-patch acupuncture, and tree planting, where various tree species were planted to promote environmental sustainability.
The Presidents of the participating Rotary Clubs expressed their joy, excitement, and gratitude for the opportunity to work together in serving the community. The strong fellowship, unity, and commitment demonstrated by every Rotarian truly reflected Rotary’s enduring motto, “Service Above Self.”
Adding warmth to the day was the heartfelt hospitality of the teachers, barangay officials, and community volunteers, who prepared a delicious meal featuring native chicken, fresh vegetables, and other local delicacies. Their generosity and kindness made everyone feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated.
This successful outreach reminds us that when Rotary clubs unite with a common purpose, we can create a lasting impact in the lives of others.
Together, we Serve. Together, we Make a Difference. Together, We Create Lasting Impact.
