14 complete training at leadership academy

FOURTEEN graduates of Iloilo City Leadership Academy (ICLA) plan to continue the implementation of community projects.

The delegates were conferred as the pioneer graduates of the ICLA on March 3 and 4. They are now officially called ICLA fellows.

ICLA aims to mold young leaders through “holistic engagement with reality and preparing them for what it is to be a leader.”

Among the projects were:

• Project Aid to HIV by Mary Hope Abilo Conquest;

• Conquest: Iloilo’s First Esports Convention by Brainard Abunyawan;

• Break the Silence by Jose Emmanuel Combatir;

• Pint for a Pet by Alaina D’Cunha;

• LEAD to LID by Heather Angelique Paranga; and

• Tagamolila Earth Work by Jeremiah John Vardeleon

After the training, the 14 fellows are expected to mentor the next batch of trainees. (Carolyn Jane Abello)
