The RAFI – Governance and Linkages and its Belgian partners are now firming up plans for a better Youth Exchange Program (YEP) to be implemented this year and in 2019.

The Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) through the Dolores Aboitiz Children’s Fund (DACF) continues its support to the Gualandi Effata School for the Hearing Impaired by providing financial assistance including uniform allowance, school supplies, and books for the 82 hearing impaired children for the School Year 2017-2018.

Over 800 staff coming from different areas in the Visayas gathered together at SM Seaside City Cebu Skyhall Convention Center during the general assembly of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. Micro-Finance (RMF) last January 27.

As part of its efforts to teach basic photography skills to RAFInians, especially those who are regularly on field, the Reputation Management Team (RMT) held its first photography workshop for the year last January 25.

The Research, Program, and Organizational Development – Project Management Office (RPOD
PMO) of the Metro Cebu Development Coordinating Board (MCDCB) once again convened the
Mega Cebu focal teams of 12 local government units for the second phase of the planning for
the Mega Cebu 3-year development goal.

“We can’t really explain where—and how it started because it is a tradition.”
