Future Leaders Of Toledo Program Recognizes Students’ Community Projects
iTeach of De La Salle Andres Soriano Memorial College (DLS ASMC) bested other projects implemented by six other schools in Toledo City that participated in the three-phase Youth Leadership Development Program organized by Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC) in partnership with Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc – Kool Adventure Camp (RAFI-KAC).
The program aims to implement community and school projects in the barangay level.
iTeach is a social action program formulated by the Supreme Student Government of the DLS ASMC. It aims to enrich and reinforce students’ skills in English, Mathematics, Arts, Computer Literacy, Moral Uprightness and Leadership.
“Our project reaches out to the less fortunate who don’t have the opportunity to achieve higher educational status. We also aligned our objective with the goal of our school that is to create globally competetive individuals. We teach minds, touch hearts and transform lives,” said a student representative who took part in the program.
iTeach lasts for 27 weeks, with classes held once every two weeks that benefit less fortunate children of Barangay Don Andres Soriano, Toledo City.
Other projects implemented include FYI-Segre-Aksyon of Bunga National High School, Waste Management Check of Cantabacco National High School, Dengue Preventation for Life Protection of Don Andres National High School, Pera sa Compost Pit of Media Once, Eskwelahan Namo, Eskwelahan Nako of General Climaco National High School and School Beautification of Magdugo National High School.
KAC has been offering adventure education programs for leadership and team development for youth and professionals for the last decade. It is a program under the Leadership and Citizenship focus area of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI). It has recently opened the Philippines’ first fully dedicated adventure education center last August 2, 2015.
