Teachers for a Mission

Eight teachers from DE LA SALLE LIPA participated in "INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE" program of the Institutional Lasallian Family Office (ILFO) spearheaded by Mr. Wilfredo "Willy" L. Bleza, its Manager together with the Campus Ministers and volunteer teachers last October 26-31, 2008, in Lubang Island, Occidental Mindoro.

The program aims to provide community life experience, prayer and contemplation, faith sharing among the participants in the mission. Lasallian Teachers shared their expertise to 108 teachers of Lubang Island from both public and private school teachers. The first day focused on the orientation of the "teacher missionaries" about the island by our partner community STELLA MARIS SCHOL Lubang headed by its Principal Ms. Rowena Tejoso and Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Paulus, SVD., both of whom provided a homey environment to all.

Second day was intended for seminar and workshop facilitated by Ms. Crecelda Dimayuga-Roldan, DLSL Cultural Officer and part-time teacher in Languages and Literature Department in college. She patiently delivered the topic "Creative Arts Teaching" and initiated discussions among teachers and processed the same afterwards.

The third day was a time out for teachers in the island as they entered a whole day of prayer and reflection facilitated by the DLSL Campus Ministers Jasper Rodriguez, Henry Vasallo, Peachy Lumban, Alan Esteron, Louie Holgado and Willy Bleza. It was amazing to know that majority of the teachers had this kind of activity for the first time, bringing them joyful moments as they share faith experiences among colleagues.
