MODULE 6: Values Formation

The volunteers also had an activity on Values Formation. They were given scenarios and different situations and were asked to react on them. The volunteers acted out their roles and had substantial engagements.

This activity helped clarify the values of the volunteers. They realized that each would hold dearly to what he believed is most important to him.

Similarly, they opened their thoughts to the reality that the members of the volunteer group may differ in terms of what they consider as most important to them.

Values may differ, but each must respect each others choice.

MODULE 5: Conflict Management

In any organization, there may be instances where conflicts arise. This is but natural. Considering the various personalities that comprise the group, clashes may sometimes happen. To be able to handle these instances when they happen, volunteers had their training on Conflict Management.

The module on Conflict Management was excellently handled by Mr. Joseph Lavina, a seasoned trainor and a psychologist.

WE LOVE VOLUNTEERING !

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.

CESDEV VOLUNTEERS TRAINING (Day 2)

The day started early for the UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers. The bus transported the volunteers back to Tabor Hills for the continuation of the Volunteers Training.

Above, the senior volunteers were similarly enthusistic about the day's activity. They hope that with this activity, the new set of volunteers will continue what they have started.

The registration was ably facilitated by the senior volunteers. It was also their way of getting to know more and become familiar with the "babies" of the volunteer group.

THE NEW WITH THE SENIOR VOLUNTEERS

The new volunteers along with the senior UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers flahed their sweet smiles for the camera with Ms Jade Lyra Galdo, the External Affairs Coordinator of UC Nursing CESDEV.

The same group of volunteers posed with Mr. Ronaldo Quitco, the Internal Affairs Coordinator of UC Nursing CSEDEV.

THE NEW VOLUNTEERS

The new volunteers of UC Nursing CESDEV posed with Mr. Joseph Lavina, the guest speaker on Effective Communication and Conflict Management.

WE CAN DANCE!

The volunteers displayed their dancing skills during the intermission. UC Nursing CESDEV is very glad for it does not only have active but talented volunteers as well.

MODULE 3: Effective Communication

Acknowledging that effective communication is necessary in order to make the organization run smoothly, the volunteers were also trained on Effective Communication. This was basically the topic discussed in the second module.

Effective communication also provides smooth interpersonal relationship among the volunteers and to the people they are relating to.

The group of volunteers were given an activity showing the dynamics of communication.

The participants listened intently to the discussion knowing that listening is also essential in effective communication.

MODULE 2: Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is the first step in the creation process. As you grow in self awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave as you behave. That understanding then gives you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you’d like to change about yourself and create the life you want. Without fully knowing who you are, self acceptance and change become impossible.

Having clarity about who you are and what you want (and why you want it), empowers you to consciously and actively make those wants a reality. Otherwise, you’ll continue to get “caught up” in your own internal dramas and unknown beliefs, allowing unknown thought processes to determine your feelings and actions.
