Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam–A Filipino has been named as president of the Rotary Club of Saigon International .
The first Rotary Club was chartered in Vietnam 1952, but the Rotary Club ceased all operations in 1975 after the victory of the resistance against America. In its place, clubs based abroad took the cudgel of continuing to address social concerns by working with national and local public institutions.
RCSI, in its website, said that “with the chartering of RCSI and its twin club, the Rotary Club of Saigon , Rotary International is now able to maximize support by tapping the assistance of clubs around the world.” The Rotary Club also said clubs are moving quickly to provide service to the communities. On March 31, Rotary International, together with RCSI and 12 South Korean clubs, funded the heart operations of 70 children with congenital heart diseases.
Bayarong, 52, emphasized that fellowship and service are the driving motivations of every Rotarian. Three weeks ago, he joined some 20 doctors and nurses from the US-based Alliance for Smiles who conducted a clef lip and clef palate surgery mission. Around 70 kids were operated on at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy in the Mekong Delta.
