Project Description
The Rotary Club of Uptown Cubao, in partnership with Rotary District 3780 and generous supporters, extended humanitarian assistance to the typhoon-affected families of San Marcelino, Zambales.
Through the distribution of essential disaster relief goods, the project provided immediate support to families whose lives were affected by the typhoon. More than the goods themselves, the activity conveyed a message of compassion, solidarity, and hope to the affected community.
This initiative embodies Rotary’s enduring commitment to “Service Above Self”—reaching communities in times of need and helping families move forward with courage and hope. “In every act of service, we bring hope. In every helping hand, we build stronger communities.”
