The Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials from Danao City commit to the iQuest Intensive program values and ideals held at the Kool Adventure Camp of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI-KAC), Center for Leaders at Cansomoroy, Balamban, Cebu. 

Participated by around 43 SK officials from different barangays of Danao City last February 18 to 20, 2019, the activities include participants creating personal mission statement, goal setting and planning, trust series and Challenge Ropes Courses (CRC).

“As alumni of RAFI-KAC, we really didn’t regret that we trained here. We learned a lot, especially trusting myself and the team through the challenges we have experienced,” said Riel “Tigreal” Valdez, SK Treasurer from Brgy. Cahumayan, Danao. 

Valdez also shared the significance of teamwork, which in the instance of being an SK leader, if one sets an objective for his barangay, giving up amid challenges is not an option because he have his team who is willing to help. For him, trust is the most important learning he earned from the activities. 

Sharing his experience, Khleent Calderon, SK Treasurer from Brgy. Quisol, said that his most memorable experience was during the CRCs which made him realize that if he trust his team, he can survive and take the responsibilities of a leader. 

The RAFI-KAC, under its Youth Development program: iQuest Intensive aims to build the SK officials their character as public servants by understanding their strengths and areas to improve as leaders, and develop skills relevant in performing their roles and functions, among others.
