Why the Red Cross Youth- BISU Bilar Is Doing Great

While in Bohol Island State University (BISU- Bilar Campus) for a two- day speaking engagement, I was billeted at a quaint air- conditioned bungalow that pampered me with the best amenities. The organizing committee did a splendid job in welcoming me and making me sample the best in Boholano hospitality


I would also like to commend the Red Cross Youth of BISU- Bilar Campus headed and founded by school nurse John R. Gudmalin, RN, for doing a great job not only in First Aid & Disaster Preparedness but also for instilling the spirit of volunteerism among its youth members.

According to Sir John, when he first joined BISU- Bilar, the area where the RCY Center stands now used to be a vacant lot that doubled as dumping/ storage ground for dilapidated materials.

After consulting with the school administration and with assistance from alumni and friends from outside, he proceeded with a beautification project and landscaping for the area which is just a stone’s throw away from the school clinic.






Today, the area is now an oasis for relaxation and for studying. The well-manicured lawn and the well- arranged ornamental plants and shrubs make for a conducive area to relax the mind and the senses






The  RCY of BISU- Bilar Campus is also self- sustaining with their fundraisers that enhance and develop the student members’ entrepreneurial spirit and sense of independence and being responsible.

No wonder, their RCY is consistently adjudged Bohol’s Best Red Cross Youth Council.

Presently, under the presidency of student Jose Jala & with the guidance of Sir John Gudmalin and with the support of school director Dr. Arnulfo C. Olandria, the RCY of BISU- Bilar is thriving and is on its way to another fulfilling and enriching schoolyear

Kudos!
