Past President Archie McGlynn returned to the Philippines in November and took the opportunity to check on the progress at at the Palumlum Elementary school in Alfonso, Cavite where Rotary Ponteland has provided £1200 funding to assist with a project to upgrade the school. The work has been overseen by our sister Club based in Tagaytay.
(Tagaytay is a popular holiday town south of Manila on the Philippine island Luzon. Known for its mild climate, it sits on a ridge above Taal Volcano Island, an active volcano surrounded by Taal Lake. Overlooking the area, People’s Park in the Sky occupies the grounds of a never-finished presidential mansion. Picnic Grove is a recreation area with trails and a zip line.)
