MESSAGE
Greetings fellow JCI Members!
As your 2017National Chairperson for Got Heart, I am encouraging everyone to
pleasejoin in the implementation of Got Heart to help our underprivileged brothers and
sisters “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.”
Access to proper health care is one of the problems of several communities in the
country today. Reduced number of health care workers, resources and knowledge are
some of the contributors of inaccessibility to proper medical attention of our dear
underprivileged brothers and sisters especially in far flung areas of the communities.
May we at JCI, serve as an instrument of hope and better well-being for these people to
continue to live life, aspire to change and help them prepare for a better future. May we
set as an example to be a better active citizen.
Let us all work together for a better and healthier nation.
“He who has Health has Hope; and he who has Hope, has everything” – Arabian
Proverb
Yours in Service,
Ma. Aileendel “Leng” Alair

OVERVIEW AND HISTORY
What is Got Heart?
Got Heart is a Community Health Awareness program of JCI Philippines which aims to
promote good health and well-being in the underprivileged communities around the
country through medical, dental, and surgical missions, distribution of free medicines,
free eye check up and health education awareness program and counseling, as well as
to provide a problem-solving formula in order to address the issues and concerns of the
mind, body, spirit, and emotion.
This is also aligned with JCI Philippines commitment in addressing Sustainable
Development Goal no. 03: “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.”
History of Got Heart
Got Heart was a Local Organization project of JCI Cainta under 2014 President/ 2016
Regional Vice President Voltaire Mendoza. It was adopted as an Area Program in 2014
under AVP Richard Marinas. Since then, every year, the Metro Area Local chapters
collaborate to provide health care, and make a bigger impact in the underprivileged
communities. The project was later on adopted and approved by the 2016 National
Board as a National Program.
