The Rotary Club of Manila Magic

In support of AJ Kalinga Foundation’s mission to uplift the homeless with compassion, restore dignity, and offer hope for second chances, members of the Rotary Club of Manila Magic, together with their daughter club, Rotaract Club of Manila, served meals, gave clothes, listened to their stories, and shared God’s love and kindness today at the foundation’s center in Tayuman, Manila.

Special thanks to Rtn. Benedict Carandang for spearheading this project and inspiring others to serve.

After the outreach activity, the Rotary Club of Manila Magic and Rotaract Club of Manila also held a lunch fellowship.

February’s medical mission, led by Dr. Lee Roi, brought essential healthcare to our target community—providing checkups, height and weight monitoring, and treatment for common childhood illnesses.

After a fulfilling day of service, the members indulged in a Malabon food tour, savoring the best local flavors—from Belen’s Kitchenette's famous Pancit Malabon to Judy Ann’s crispy pata, Arny Dading’s sweet Peachy-Peachy, and Tessie’s delicious kikiam. The highlight? Doc Lee Roi generously treated the team as he celebrated his birthday in the most delicious way!

Cheers to great food, fellowship, and generosity!

Last February 1, the Rotary Club of Manila Magic kicked off RY 2025 with a productive meeting to plan projects, fellowships, and exciting team-building trips and food tours!

Here’s to a year of service, camaraderie, and impact!
