Young Leaders' Academy (Graduation)

Just have finished yesterday the 1st Young Leaders' Academy. This is a new program of our Agency's Youth Council and replaced the annual Advance Leadership Training of previous years. It was totally fulfilling to see the positive outcome of the three-day session, October 19, 25, and 26, 2008, seminar for (approximately) 190 area representatives of different communities. Days of fun, enjoyment, friendship, and learning experiences.

I was fortunate enough to be one of the faculty members whereby I have discussed the topic about decision making during the third day. Have facilitated the activities that would enrich the lesson--and voila, ansaya. They were able to assimilate what has been tackled and were able to achieve the goals for the day.

Yesterday we had our graduation, at nakatutuwang isipin that they were all thankful for what the academy has done for them. Isang di matutuwarang karanasan na nakapagdulot sa akin ng lubos na kaligayahan na masilayan ang ngiti at labis na pasasalamat sa kanilang natutunan.

It was a delightful experience to witness the effectiveness of the program,
the sacrifices and hardwork of the people behind were paid already by their gratefulness. Tunay ngang isang napakagandang karanasan na matunghayan ang pagbabago para sa mga kabataang naghahangad ng ikauunlad ng kanilang komunidad. And personally, a great experience for me, for I was able to develop camaraderie with my co-faculty members and the participants (another batch of friends), was also given a chance to share my knowledge and experiences with these youths, and, of course, was able to have an opportunity to be a part of the pioneer YLA of Children International.


Thank you Lord for guiding us all throughout ^__^
