Grand knight of the said
organization, GK Norlito Antonio which
happen to be the incoming NMMC President

of all participants wanted to try all
the activities being demonstrated. The
project taught about the proper budgeting
and costing of each kind of product made.
Moreover, at the end of the day, they
got the fruits of their labor by receiving

“Flatter me, and I may not believe
you. Criticize me, and I may not like
you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive
you. Encourage me, and I will not forget
you.” By William Arthur Ward –
As one famous quote teaches us about Encouragement.
Last April 2008, it took a lot of encouragement
for those young boys at a small town of
Malabon to get a step closer to their
manhood. As NMMC aided them achieved thru
its 2nd Medical Mission:
“Operation Tule” which had
been a regular service to kids during
summer time. In coordination with “Pax
Romana” a group of promising MCU
(Manila Central University) doctors and
interns. They had circumcised 120 kids
during that day. Unfortunately, there
were still a number of kids who were hoping
to be serviced that day. With its positive
turnout of the project, the chapter decided
to continue and have another same project
to those left unlucky. While for those
being serviced, they have an addendum
to the above quote, tribute to Sir William
“…….circumcise me, and
I will be forever grateful…”
Fellowship/Tax Campaigns

appreciate life, and you’ll find
that you have more of it.” By Ralph
Marston.
