Serving the Children, Enriching the Community: How Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems Made a Difference This Year
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems, a small but mighty club driven by the Kiwanis motto—“Serving the Children of the World.” In just one year, our members served nearly 3,000 children, contributed over 530 work hours, and invested more than ₱460,000 in service projects—funded through donations and the generosity of our partners and sponsors.
Partnerships That Make Service Possible
For the past six years, our Nabuclod Gift-Giving has been made possible through the steadfast support of our main partner, ALQCF, whose contributions have consistently brought joy and relief to the children of Nabuclod Integrated School—one of the schools we have proudly adopted.
In our Gift of Music Project, OB Guitars played an instrumental role—literally—by donating the ukuleles that have brought music and hope to abandoned children. These lessons have given them not just a creative outlet but also confidence and joy.
Expanding Our Reach Through Division 2B Joint Projects
This year, Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems joined four Division 2B joint service projects, expanding our reach beyond Lubao to serve children in Angeles City, Bacolor, and Dueg, Maasin (Tarlac). Organized by Division 2B leadership, these initiatives allowed us to touch the lives of children in multiple communities and strengthen our bond with fellow clubs.
Our tree planting in partnership with Del Carmen National High School—another adopted school—stood out as an environmental effort that directly connects children to the value of caring for the planet.
A Year of Feeding, Giving, and Growing
From school supplies and slippers distribution to feeding programs and gift-giving of diapers, milk, and clothes, every project was anchored in the goal of uplifting children’s lives. Our recent coastal outreach brought warm porridge with egg, milk drinks, biscuits, and fresh grapes to school children, while younger ones received diapers, milk, and clothes—an act of care that was met with smiles and gratitude.
The Step by Step Slippers Program ensured that children could walk to school comfortably, and our regular feeding programs directly improved nutrition in underserved communities.
Milestones and Leadership Achievements
In the Administrative Year 2024-2025, Past President Reynaldo M. Bonaobra assumed the highest position in Division 2B as Lieutenant Governor, becoming the third Lt. Governor produced by our dear club, Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems. LG Rey’s leadership has been transformative—bringing 11 new members into the club, a milestone that earned him the Distinguished Member Award from Kiwanis Philippine Luzon District.
Our club may be small, but its strength lies in its people. We are composed of teachers, business owners, real estate practitioners, nurses, musicians, young professionals, and even a farmer—all united by a shared commitment to serve.
This year also marked our digital growth. We launched our official Kiwanis.org website, a step up from our previous free WordPress site, and integrated our Instagram handle with Facebook for a more connected online presence—expanding our visibility and outreach potential.
A Decade of Service—and Many More to Come
From humble beginnings to a decade of sustained impact, the Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems continues to live its mission. This year’s accomplishments—from local feeding programs to cross-community collaborations—reflect the dedication of our members and the generosity of our partners.
With every school kit given, every tree planted, every ukulele strummed, and every smile shared, we affirm our pledge: to serve the children and enrich the community, one project at a time.
