Prosthesis Center : Project Walk Again 2
Opens at Jose N. Rodriguez Hospital (Tala Hospital), Novaliches, Tala Caloocan
March 06,2026
Rotary Club of Metro Novaliches Caloocan, in partnership with Rotary Club of JangHeung, Korea District 3610

The center will provide , locally accessible prosthetic limbs, fittings, rehabilitation services, and follow-up care for underprivileged members of our community.
This marks our second prosthetic mission. What makes it different is permanence: a structure and program rooted in the community, designed to remove travel, cost, and access barriers and to deliver continuous care. For individuals who have experienced limb loss, the journey toward recovery is often long and deeply personal. With this workshop now within the hospital, patients will have access to timely, customized prosthetic care close to home. This means shorter waiting times, continuous follow-up, and integrated rehabilitation support—from surgery to fitting, to therapy, and beyond. It allows us to provide care that is not only medical, but holistic and compassionate.

This partnership demonstrates how continued collaboration and innovation between healthcare institutions and civic organizations can create lasting, meaningful change.

Beyond restoring movement, the Prosthesis Center will also help restore livelihoods. It creates meaningful employment opportunities for skilled therapists, prosthetic technicians, and assembly specialists who will dedicate their expertise to crafting and fitting prostheses. In doing so, we are not only rebuilding lives—we are building careers, strengthening our local workforce, and contributing to the economic growth of our community. This initiative reflects a sustainable model of healthcare: one that heals patients while generating opportunities for professionals to serve and thrive.

"Bags of Hope, Beats of Joy"
A Basic Education and Literacy Project
For Tala Elem School and Tala High School
By RC Metro Novaliches Caloocan

The donation drive included the turnover of snare drums to enhance the school’s music program, giving students the opportunity to explore discipline and creative expression. These snare drums are especially vital to the school’s identity, playing a key role in their anthem and symbolizing pride among the students. They are also essential for the school’s participation in musical competitions, where students showcase their talent, teamwork, and dedication.
Alongside these musical instruments, the Rotary clubs also distributed school bags and school supplies, ensuring that students are better equipped for their daily learning needs.
This collaborative effort between Rotary Club of Metro Novaliches Caloocan and their sister club, Jangheung Rotary Club of Korea symbolizes the spirit of global fellowship—transcending borders to make a tangible difference in the lives of young learners. Beyond the material support, the activity served as an inspiration to students, showing them that people from different parts of the world care about their growth and future.

A Peace and Conflict Resolution Project

We are honored to unveil the newly installed Peace Pole on the ground of Tala Hospital-Prosthesis Center. This Peace Pole stands as a powerful symbol of unity and the foundation of peace. In a place devoted to healing, it serves as a reminder that restoration is not only physical but emotional and spiritual. May it offer calmness to those who are anxious, comfort to those who are weary, and hope to those beginning their journey toward recovery.
