Character and Values Transformation Project - Rotary Club of Pasig West - District 3800

      

     The Rotary Club of Pasig West (RCPW), a partner in service of Pinoysagip, launched several community service projects and information campaigns for Rotary Year 2014 - 15 on: oral health, earthquake preparedness, coral reef conservation and protection, character and values formation and Work readiness for Persons With Disabilities (PWD).

      Character and Values Transformation Project - This project is an allied effort to arouse interest in

addressing today’s imminent threats to society such as corruption, crime, moral decadence and other social malaise spawned by low morals, values or ethics that springs from a weak character foundation. The areas of focus that may therefore be addressed directly or indirectly by this Project may include conflict prevention, basic education and community development.

The project will be divided into Phases:

a.      beginning with a symposium on the urgency of character transformation and the 11 Principles of the character transformation entitled “Character Transformation: One School at a Time” (A Rotary project to help schools and parents develop people of good character.)

b.      It will then be supported by implementing Rotary Awards on Character Transformation (This will be a program of recognizing schools and teachers – just like granting an ISO certification or stamp of recognition – as Centers and/or Agents of Excellence for Character Formation.)

This program offers the different clubs in the Zone a ready project they can implement in the promotion of Rotary’s “The 4-Way Test” and “Core Values”- to meet the mounting challenge to provide effective solutions to ethical and academic issues in private and public schools such as bullying, cheating, truancy, and dropout rates and the building of a moral community.  

Other club members’ involvement in the project may include:

·         Undertaking efforts to solicit support and participation of Administrators/ Principals, District Supervisors, and other relevant Department of Education officials. 

·         Involvement in the selection process of recognizing and awarding of teachers and schools, by acting as members of the selection committee and/or as final judges.        

The Character Transformation Program will be a joint project between Zone 6 and the Character Education Partnership Philippines (CEP) led by its current President, Mr. Emmanuel “Manny” M. Rentoy.  Mr. Rentoy will also serve as the resource speaker for the symposium.  The educational institutions that are targeted by this program are those schools within Zone 6.

The project will be done annually targeting at least 3 schools per year.  Evaluation forms will be distributed and collected after each symposium, and will be used to further improve and strengthen the program.
