MODULE 4: Volunteerism

The second day of the Volunteers Training started with the module on Volunteerism. Ma'am Ethel Maamo, a VSO volunteer imparted to the listening audience how to keep the spirit of volunteerism alive.

She also focused on the highs and lows of being a volunteer especially when one is assigned in another country. She shared with the audience her colorful experience as a volunteer in Vanuatu.

Ms Ethel Maamo included in her presentation the characteristics of a good volunteer which she hopes will be cultivated by the UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers.

The session was never lull because they also moved about to the dance steps initiated by Ms Maamo.

Ma'am Ethel Maamo proudly showed the Certificate of Appreciation presented by Ms. Jade Lyra Galdo.

Atty. Bong, also a VSO volunteer shared his experience as a volunteer assigned in Papua New Guinea. His work as a volunteer was very remarkable that he was given government recognition for it.

Atty. Bong who is now back to his native town in Palompon, Leyte and is currently serving in their municipal council as a Councilor, gladly accepted from Ms. Jade Lyra Galdo the token of appreciation for sharing valuable thoughts on Volunteerism.
