District 380 Induction

IPDC Ching Chanyungco in her valedictory address quoted President
Dwight Eisenhower, who said, “Plans are nothing; planning is
everything. That life is a continuous journey with constant
challenge of choices; a road to move on, a river to cross, a sky to fly,
a successful and beautiful life does not just happen; it is built daily
with achieving the task at hand, centred on humility, sacrifices, love
and prayers.” IPDC Ching said that this quotation described the
journey of District 380 in IWY 2019-2020. Faithful to the IWC theme
Together We Can, District 380 had delivered its best as all the
members stood together in spreading compassion and love when
reaching out to the helpless.
