Clean Drinking Water Project Launched

Our President Joe Reano, Director Tony Newnham, and Dir. Ian Alas gave away 2 sets of water purifier to RC-Makati North’s Community Corps at Barangay Singkamas and Sta. Cruz for the Launching of Clean Drinking Water Project last August 28th. The initial plan would be to give 5 sets for each Barangay where the purified waters will be sold to household members or even to business establishments. The cost of each unit is only Php6,000, which would be considered as an investment and be paid back. PP Dieter Brueckner is the supplier of these units hence, the reason why we got it at cost value. This program is part of our President Joe Reano’s “sustainability projects” for our Barangay to help each community to help themselves.

KARL STUART McKINNON McLEAN

Born in Gibraltar , August 1, 1955 where my dad ran Shell refinery then moved with my family to Hamburg, then London , followed by Holland where I spent 8 years of my life as my father was on the main board of Shell in London.

I went to a Dutch school which was fabulous as the Dutch are the “freeist” nation in the world. As class prefect I sat on the school board with teachers and parents and my vote had the same power as the teachers.

I played a lot of soccer and earlier cricket.
