HIATUS

I won't be around this Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I am taking a break from my tedious and stressful life here in the forging company.

:D


I received an email from Ms. Joy Samson, the Student Activities Assistant from the Office of the Students Affairs in my Colegio...

"With the theme “Isang Dekada ng Pagpapanday!, the Student Development Services Department (SDSD) through the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA) is holding the PANDAYAN 10, a Leadership and Team Building Seminar for Student Leaders. The event is a collaborative project with the Philippine Association of Administrators of Student Affairs (PAASA).

It will be a three-day summer camp which will be held on April 11-13, 2008 at Colegio de San Juan de Letran – Calamba in Calamba City. At the end of the training-seminar, the participants should be able to:

1. learn the basic concepts of leadership / team building through different learning experiences, games and other group activities
2. appreciate the importance of camaraderie as a stepping stone towards the achievement of their individual and organizational goals in an atmosphere of fun and togetherness
3. prepare themselves for their leadership responsibilities as groups and as individuals by tapping their own experiences and insights as learning materials


" Being one of the former participants of Pandayan and one of the active and responsible student leaders during your college years, we wish to invite you to be one of the facilitators of Pandayan 10. This event will be participated not only by Letran-Calamba student leaders but also student leaders from different colleges and universities from Region IV A&B. Since this will be a big event, we would like to seek your assistance to support us and make this much awaited event a success. Attached is the proposed program of the event."
