Since the launch of the Save Our Reefs project in Narvacan in 2021, RC Makati has made it a point to return year after year, not just to add more reef buds to the site but to conduct service missions in Ilocos Sur.
On June 1, RC Makati embarked on a fulfilling day tour to serve the communities of Ilocos Sur. Traveling via the private plane of Universal Leaf through Winston Uy, the team arrived at the Vigan Airport and quickly proceeded to their first stop in Narvacan.
In Narvacan, we deployed an additional 60 reef buds into the seas of Sulvec, bringing the total to 340 reef buds planted. This effort is in partnership with RC Narvacan. The reef buds contain the names of the new members and the guest speakers of the Club during its weekly luncheon meetings. Universal Leaf also added 20 more reef buds for this site.
The team then proceeded to the People’s Center for a brief program and the ceremonial turnover of 3,600 books from the Books Across the Seas program. Messages were shared by President Bing Matoto, Director Winston Uy, and Mayor Pablito Sanidad. The program concluded with the turnover of a copy of the municipal resolution recognizing the club’s support to their town.
After a quick lunch at Chad’s Cafe, the team conducted an ocular visit to a potential site for Rotary Homes, hoping to provide houses to the needy.
In the second leg of the tour, the team visited RC Vigan’s clubhouse, where they presented a joint project proposal for equipment to assess the eye health of students.
The final stop was at Ilocos National High School, where RC Makati distributed more books from its Books Across the Seas program, furthering our commitment to education.
The day was marked by service and collaboration with our sister clubs in Ilocos Sur, reinforcing our dedication to making a positive impact in the community.
