CEBU CITY – More than 300 high school students from the Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu underwent a personal leadership training facilitated by Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc - Kool Adventure Camp (RAFI-KAC), with the last batch finishing theirs last October 21 to 23.

The program aimed to develop the participants’ leadership and decision-making skills.

The first two batches of students underwent the program last August and September, respectively, while the third and final batch did so this October.

“I have learned to be more supportive to my peers and to myself. I also learned to take risks and trust in my capabilities. I can apply my KAC learning in all aspects of my life by stepping up and being more responsible and considerate to others,” said Jose Joaquin Baronta, one of the participants.

The program is an introductory course for SHS-AdC high school students. Having partnered with the school, KAC is considering a higher level course for these participants in the coming year.

KAC is one of the programs under the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Incorporated (RAFI) Leadership & Citizenship focus area, where future leaders are nurtured to prepare them to take an active role in affecting change. RAFI’s other focus areas are Integrated Development, Micro-finance & Entrepreneurship, Culture and Heritage, and Education.

KAC has been offering adventure education programs for leadership and team development for youth and professionals for the last decade. It has recently opened the Philippines’ first fully dedicated adventure education center last August 2014.

Like the Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu students, those from other schools, both public and private, could also avail of KAC’s services.
