Rotary Club of Metro East Taytay Unveils High-Impact Canopy and WASH Project at San Juan Elementary School Annex

August 27, 2025 — Taytay, Rizal, Philippines

The Rotary Club of Metro East Taytay (RCMET) once again made a powerful mark in the community as it proudly completed the Canopy for Learners plus Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Project at San Juan Elementary School Annex, Taytay, Rizal.

This transformative initiative is set to benefit more than 1,300 students and 28 teachers, providing them with a safe, comfortable, and weather-proof learning space while promoting health, wellness, and proper hygiene practices for years to come.

The newly turned-over canopy ensures that classes and activities can continue rain or shine, while the WASH facilities strengthen the school’s commitment to the health and well-being of every learner. This project is a shining example of how Rotary’s mission of “Service Above Self” translates into lasting, high-impact change.

A Collective Effort for a Greater Cause
The project came to life through the unwavering dedication and teamwork of RCMET officers and members.

• PP Ariel Espino, Service Chair, spearheaded the initiative with strong leadership.

• Rtn. Milagros Javier ensured smooth coordination throughout the project.

• Rtn. Olan Panlaqui, the club’s newest member, stepped up generously by sponsoring the project, showing how fresh energy can bring big results.

Creating Lasting Change
“This is not just a canopy or WASH facility—it’s a commitment to education, health, and the future of our youth,” shared RCMET leaders during the turnover ceremony. The Rotary family celebrated yet another milestone, proving that when service-minded individuals come together, they can create an impact that uplifts an entire community.

? Congratulations, RCMET family, for continuing to inspire and deliver meaningful projects that truly change lives! ?✨
