The clubs regular meeting cum fellowship was held on Novem-

friend Mr Park.

It was a special event that was highlighted by the celebration

with the club of the birthday of PP Beth Sy (who had earlier
celebrated with the 50 malnourished children participating in
the 100-days milk-feeding program of Holy Spirit plus another
group of 50 pupils at the Dona Juana Elementary School), and
the induction of new members who had already been registered
with RI online.

Everyone had a sumptuous dinner of specialty chicken of differ-

ent flavors, dumplings, salads, pizza and pasta. After a quick
coverage of selected business agenda items, the program pro-
ceeded with the induction of:

Atty Isabelito Lito Sicat, retired prosecutor, a chemist

Realty Estate Board with cooperating organizations conduct
their annual life-giving, life-saving blood donation activity
On November 19, 2017, RC Holy Spirit organized a
bloodletting project at the Don Antonio Heights Club-
house in Barangay Holy Spirit aptly titled Dugo Mo,
Buhay Ko.
The project was in partnership with the Quezon City
Real Estate Board and in cooperation with the Dugong
Alay, Dugong Buhay Inc, DZRH Operation Tulong, Ace
Medical Center in Pateros and the Don Antonio Heights
Homeowners Association Inc.
The project was spearheaded by PE JR Delgra and PP
Beth Sy to commemorate their birthdays on November
19 and 21, respectively. Out of a total of 55 registered
individuals, 44 were processed by the medical team of
Ace Medical Center but only 34 qualified as blood do-
nors. The 10 deferred individuals had various health
concerns All in all, a total of 15,300 ml of blood of dif-
ferent types were extracted.
PP Nap Marilag, founder and moving spirit behind Du-
gong Alay, Dugong Buhay Inc, dropped by, having
come from two (2) other bloodletting events. His visit
was providential. Waiting to be addressed was the
case of a 17-day old baby boy confined at the NICU of
Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital needing 21 cc of
platelet concentrate. Not wasting a moment, PP Nap
endorsed the provision of the needed blood for free
from Ace Medical Center.
PP Nap of RC San Roque founded the Dugong Alay,
Dugong Buhay Inc in 1993 and organizes bloodletting
activities to make available safe and free blood in coor-
dination with blood bank centers from private and public
hospitals.
Present to donate blood were ASP Peth Rivera, PP An-
gel Castro, Rtn Jerry Sy and family, Rtn Dr Aleli Onia
and Spouse Steven. Bringing with them donors were
PP Ped Condeno, PP Linda Palattao, Rtn Ed Valbuena,
and Rtn Caroline Vargas who, because of excitement to
donate blood for the first time, did not have a restful
sleep and thus was deferred. On hand to assist were
TGP Ric Salvador, PP Marcia Salvador and PP Marites
Nepomuceno.
The successful blood donors of the RCHS Dugo Mo,
Buhay Ko bloodletting received free breakfast and a
pack of rice and canned goods. Birthday celebrants PP
Beth Sy and PE JR Delgra made sure that all the volun-
teers were treated to a good meal.
A team of Rotaractors led by TGP Lovely Rose
Paalisbo helped in the reception and registration of
blood donors and guests.

Giving Proof Is it really better to give than to receive?
By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS Sept. 14, 2017 The New York Times
The adage says its better to give
than to receive. But is it really? The
scientific evidence that generosity is
good for us has been scant, even
as the benefits of selfishness are
obvious.
Recently, however, a neurologi-
cal study published in Nature Com-
munications found there may be
some biological truth to the maxim
after all. The study showed that
generosity changed the activity in
peoples brains in ways that in-
crease feelings of happiness, even
if the generous act is small or only
imagined.
Scientists at the University of Zurich
and elsewhere began by recruiting
50 men and women and asking
them to complete questionnaires
about their current mood. They then
were given 25 Swiss francs (about
$25) once a week for the next
month. Half of the 50 were asked to
spend this on themselves. The
other half were instructed to choose
a new recipient each week on
whom to spend the money. In other
words, half the volunteers agreed to
be selfish and the other half to be
generous.
At the beginning of the study, par-
ticipants slid into an fM.R.I. machine
with a computer screen that flashed
hypothetical scenarios involving
monetary gifts to a loved one at a
personal cost. The fM.R.I. recorded
their brain activity as volunteers de-
cided how they would react to each
situation.
Afterward, the researchers again
asked participants about their
mood, especially happiness, and
compared the results with the re-
sponses on the initial survey. Those
who agreed to give away money
reported feeling significantly happier
than those who planned to spend it
on themselves. They also made
more generous choices during the
fM.R.I. testing, agreeing to more
scenarios that came at a personal
cost. And their brains worked differ-
ently, too. When the study subjects
who had pledged to spend money
made generous picks, the fM.R.I.
scans showed greater activity in a
portion of the brain, the
Remark from a reader

For the record, the adage is from the New Testa-
ment, Paul quoting Jesus in Acts 20:35: "by this
kind of hard work we must help the weak, re-
membering the words the Lord Jesus himself
said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

temporo-parietal junction, as-
sociated with altruism. And
that portion of their brains
was also showing greater
functional connectivity, com-
municating more readily with
another part of the brain, the
ventral striatum, known as the
brains reward center.
In effect, the pledge to be
generous primed people to be
more giving. There are proba-
bly evolutionary undercur-
rents to this process, says
Thorsten Kahnt, who was a
postdoctoral fellow at the University
of Zurich and co-author of the study
and is now an assistant professor of
neurology at Northwestern Univer-
sitys Feinberg School of Medicine
in Chicago. Our early ancestors
might not have been so eager to
share food and labor with one an-
other, he suggests, if those actions
didnt entail some reward includ-

happiness.

 Why Doing Good Is Good for the Do-Gooder
By Nicole Karlis, The New York Times, October 26, 2017
Voluntarism is good for the health
of people who receive social sup-
port, but also good for the health of
people who offer their help. Ichiro
Kawachi, a professor of social epi-
demiology at Harvards School of
Public Health.
When we do things for ourselves,
those experiences of positive emo-
tions are more fleeting. They are
dependent on external circum-
stances, he said.
When we engage in acts of gener-
osity, those experiences of positive
emotion may be more enduring and
outlast the specific episode in
which we are engaged. Dr. Rich-
ard Davidson, a neuroscientist and
founder of the Center for Healthy
Minds at the University of Wiscon-

Helping others also gives us a
sense of purpose. Dr. Linda Fried
co-founded Experience Corps
The past few months, with a series
of disasters seemingly one on top
of another, have felt apocalyptic to
many, but the bright side to these
dark times has been the outpouring
of donations and acts of generosity
that followed.
From Hurricane Harvey flooding
Houston to Hurricanes Irma and
Maria ripping through the Carib-
bean to wildfires burning Northern
California, cities and charities have
been flooded with donations and
volunteers. The outpouring of sup-
port is critical for helping affected
communities to recover. But acts of
generosity benefit the do-gooder,
too.
Research suggests that these
community social connections are
as important for resilience to disas-
ter is as physical material like dis-
aster kits or medical supplies, ex-
plained Ichiro Kawachi, a professor
of social epidemiology at Harvards
School of Public Health.
Voluntarism is good for the health
of people who receive social sup-
port, but also good for the health of
people who offer their help.
The day after Cristina
Topham evacuated her
home as a result of the
fires in Sonoma, Calif.,
she and her boyfriend
immediately looked for
ways to donate and help.
I just felt like I had to do
something. I love my
town and my community,
and the reach of the de-
struction was astonishing
from the very beginning,
Why is the first instinct for many to
volunteer and donate after a natural
disaster? One reason is that as hu-
mans weve evolved to survive in
groups, not alone. Rallying together
makes us feel less alone in the ex-
perience, explained the sociolo-
gist Christine Carter, a fellow at the
Greater Good Science Center at
the University of California, Berke-
ley.
When our survival is threatened,
we are going to reach out and
strengthen our connections with
people around us. We show gener-
osity. We show compassion. We
show gratitude. These are all emo-
tions that function to connect us
with each other, Dr. Carter said.
Scientific evidence supports the
idea that acts of generosity can
be beneficial when we volunteer
and give back regularly and
not just after a natural disaster.
Volunteering is linked to health
benefits like lower blood pres-
sure and decreased mortality rates.
Helping others also gives us a
sense of purpose. Dr. Linda Fried
co-founded Experience Corps, a
program that engages retirees as
literacy tutors, after she discovered
a strong association between a
sense of purpose and well-being
throughout life. Older adults who
volunteered to help children with
reading and writing tended to ex-
perience less memory loss and
maintain greater physical mobil-
ity, one study suggested.
Giving back is a fundamental
teaching of many religions. Jesus
had the Golden Rule. Buddha said
in order to brighten ones own path,
one must light the path of others.
COMMENTS
Would Western doctors
ever prescribe acts of gen-
erosity? Dr. John Rowe, a pro-
fessor of health policy and aging
at the Columbia University Mail-
man School of Public Health,
doesnt rule it out.
We have sufficient scientific in-
formation to justify a very signifi-
