Gamit Eskwela para sa Pag-asa
September 30, 2021
We all know that every child's dream is to finish school to have a business or good employment, or basically to make their lives better. The Rotary Club of Marikina Heights knows this, and with the difficulties that the pandemic brings, some of the community schools, one of them the Kapitan Moy Elementary School is having a hard time to teach students the lessons that they intend to give. This is the age of virtual classes and not all the students (or families) have an access to a gadget or internet, the school authorities thought of alternative ways of bringing lessons to the students, and that is printing out module hand-outs. With this, the Club donated boxes of paper supplies to be used for printing the modules and also personal protective equipment and disinfectant.

Career Guidance Seminar
2011
Choosing a career is not a serious affair until the 4th year in high school. However, once students are done with high school, it is necessary to choose a definite career and decide a career goal. Choosing the right career option and keeping the market in mind is necessary. In addition to this, selecting the right educational institution is equally important. Unfortunately, not many students are able to discover their potentials and interests at the stage and it is when the pressure starts building, thus the desire of the RCMH Club to help students find the answers to these concerns through this seminar.
