As Term 1 comes to a close, Archers for UNICEF (AU) would like to thank you, student volunteers, for a fun and eventful term. Here are just some of the highlights we wanted to share with you guys.
AU General Assembly (October 12, 2018)
Last October 12, 2018, AU held its first general assembly. Themed after the acclaimed film, “Into the Woods.” Members found themselves amidst the mystical garden of Marian Quadrangle, as they frolicked into a night of fun, food, and fare. The assembly allowed its members and officers to get to know one another, while also giving them a glimpse of AU’s background and different advocacies. The night concluded with the oath taking of the members, officially initiating them into the AU family.
Litrato Para Kay Juan (November 16-17 and 26, 2018)
There is much more to a photograph than a moment frozen in time. A photograph contains stories and insights. Through Litrato Para Kay Juan, the organization was able to shine light on the people from AU’s partner community, GEMS. Photographs of the children along with their considered families from the partner community were given to AU to be printed and framed. These served as memory for every the people of GEMS as it symbolizes love and strength for their family. These photos were also posted online for the Lasallian community to see and admire.
AU Training Series (October 22 and 29, November 10 and 16, 2018)
This activity was conducted to orient everyone on what AU is. Through series of talks by influential people from the organization, the AU Training Series inspired and pushed the members to hone their leadership skills. The goal of the activity was to inculcate the virtues of a Lasallian leader and to train its members regarding the different needs of the organization. This was also an opportunity for officers and members to interact and form a bond that will strengthen AU.
Filipino youth volunteer Convention (November 26, 2018)
NGO’s and youth volunteers came together on November 26, 2018 for the first ever Filipino Youth Volunteer Convention. The event, which aimed to inform the youth on the current problems afflicting our country, served as an avenue for participants to learn more about the different advocacy campaigns of the organizations as well as their volunteer programs. The convention also included a number of inspiring breakout sessions from 26 different change makers. FYVC capped off the successful event with a concert.
