ALL ABOUT THE ‘QUEENS OF CHANGE”

- BY JENNY GRACE M. MENDOZA

What could be the best ways to empower communitie­s? Sharing? Narrating? About what?

There is no end to learning, and enriching the mind through others’ experience­s is among the effective ways of equipping someone to be more and do more.

The concept of learning through sharing has been one of the most successful weapons of JCI Lakambini Davao in empowering various communitie­s in its area of operation.

“Queentuhan”

For four years now, this group of empowered women has been airing its online talk show called “Queentuhan”, which has become a vehicle for disseminat­ing worthwhile informatio­n and handy tips and life hacks. Topics that range from fashion, job and livelihood opportunit­ies and activities to helpful parenting insights have stirred the interest of its audience.

“Queentuhan year 4” was launched on February 11 at Acacia Hotel in Davao City. This time

JCI Lakambini Davao had one of the charter members as resource speaker, Cristina Pama with her topic “Empowering Women Through Personal Finance: A Journey to Financial Independen­ce. A topic that is very close to her heart and her passion to share it with her fellow women. She is the Senior Vice President/ Region Head of AMG VisMin, Asia United Bank Corporatio­n.

“The Queens’ Journal”

In the meantime, the JCI Lakambini sisters, being true to the tag “Queens of Change”, launched another worthwhile project that is seen to complement “Queentuhan”.

Launched during the 6th Induction and Turnover Ceremonies, February 10, 2024 is JCI Lakambini Davao’s Official Publicatio­n - The Queens’ Journal. “The Queens’ Journal” encapsulat­es the numerous events and endeavors that keep the queens busy as they live by their collective goal of extending a hand to different communitie­s in whatever way they can.
