BES-HNS Foundation Inc, on their road towards perpetuity and sustainability
“Transitioning to the Youth towards Perpetuity and Sustainability” will be the Foundation’s theme from this year moving forward. Actions towards the achievement of this goal of Perpetuity and Sustainability were already taken. Beginning on the Pre-Planning and Team Building last July 30-31, 2022 at Tampay sa Sinagtala, Orani Bataan, the transitioning committee, composed of the Core Senior and Junior members, are continuously meeting, planning and strategizing about the Foundation’s future.
In line with this, a strategic meeting was held last October 15, 2022 at Jardin Solana Function Hall, Solana Casa Real, Bacolor, Pampanga through the sponsorship of Sis Lisa and Brod Primo Valerio. The meeting focused mostly on the Junior Members’ presentation of their deliberate plans and budgetary requirements for the proposed programs and activities this upcoming fiscal year. Some of the topics discussed are the initiative to conduct sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility projects, launch feasible Fundraising programs, and organize several Fellowship activities. The Junior Members’ plans, combined with the Senior Members’ experiences and expertise in handling the Foundation, gives the atmosphere of optimism regarding the Foundation’s succeeding years.
Brod Mars Morales also mentioned that by seeing the Juniors’ commitment and passion towards the foundation, it will not be impossible for the Senior Members to have a smooth transition of responsibilities and roles in the next three to five years.
After the formal meeting, the fellowship began. Both the junior and senior members talked, laughed, and bonded with each other during lunch. With different agenda, the senior and junior members parted ways after lunch. Naturally, the junior members did not miss the opportunity to travel and wander the beauty of Bacolor, Pampanga. They went to the historical San Guillermo Parish Church, known for its half-buried structure which is the result of the lahar mudflows during the 90s. The senior members, on the other hand, went to Randy Valerio’s Goat Dairy Farm where they were served with different food products with Goat’s milk as its main ingredient.
The day ended with everyone feeling hopeful and confident that the road towards perpetuity and sustainability is within the Foundation’s grasp. Certainly, the Senior members believe that the Juniors are capable of sustaining the Foundation’s legacy and the Juniors, at the same time, believe that what the Senior members have established are worthy of perpetual existence. As Theodore Roosevelt has said, “Believe you can, and you are halfway there”, indeed, the BES-HNS Foundation Inc. is already more than halfway towards its goal.
