VIDES YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING

On May 1, 2010, fifty-eight (58) youth leaders,

facilitators, and volunteers participated in the

VIDES Summer Youth Leadership Training Program

sponsored by Altus Communications. (VIDES

stands for Volunteers International for

Development, Education and Services.) Held at

Don Bosco School - Manila, this whole day training

entitled “Servant Leadership Experience” (SLEX),

focused on four topics: trust, listening, unity, and

humility.

Delegates came from the six areas being served

by the VIDES Volunteers under the mobile

education project, “Busina Mo, Dunong Ko”: NIA

Road, San Roque QC, South Triangle, Pasay City,

Recto, and Delpan. Junior VIDES Volunteers

participating in the Summer Youth Volunteer

Program of VIDES also joined the seminar.

Trainors Alvin Espejo, Dondie Bernardino, Albert

Gabiana and Jonnel Sesalim of Don Bosco Youth

Center Tondo skillfully facilitated the training.

Activities included inputs, team-building

sessions, games, debates, cheering, songs, dance,

commitment-making, discussion, reporting, and

prayer moments.

The participants value this seminar and thank

Altus Communications for making this possible.

“We are planting seeds of

leadership today. If we nurture

them well, we shall reap a

bountiful harvest in the future.

Let us then be grateful for every

good thing that comes to us.

Let us profit from every

meaningful experience God

provides for us.”

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. ~Clay P. Bedford
