GSC - Advocacy gets a novel and a more profound meaning in the Jaycees as the Junior Chamber International General Santos “Twin Star” launches its coastal community management program with Minanga Urban Poor Settlers Association, Inc. (MUPSAI), a people’s organization entrusted with the rehabilitation and development of at least five hectares of Sarangani Bay’s coast beside the Buayan estuary.
The joint undertaking which was formally inked in a formal Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Signing during the 41st Annual Installation of Officers and Induction of New Members at Ecopark, this city, and duly witnessed by Jaycee delegates all over Mindanao bespoke of the social responsibility of the Jaycees towards its environment and the local community.
Newly elected “Twin Star” LOM President JCI Member Julius Q. Trinidad and MUPSAI President Dan Arroyo were both pleased with the joint venture as they promised to closely coordinate with each other to ensure the program’s success.
Though the survey is yet to be fully concluded, part of the initial plans for the program are the conduct of a mangrove rehabilitation program, conduct of health and social awareness projects, and leadership development, capability-building and self-reliance trainings and seminars, among others.
Assigned as the Interim Committee Chairman tasked to oversee the survey for the said program is JCI Member Edwin Ravelo.
As part of the confidence and goodwill building measure, the JCI General Santos “Twin Star” had already conducted a mangrove tree planting and medical mission last April 17 and April 20, 2006, respectively.
