De La Salle Zobel School (DLSZ) hosted the Students’ MUNTIPARLAS Consortium 2023 with the theme, “A Grateful Community: A Celebration of Giftedness and Life” held last March 22, 2023, from 8:00 am to 12:00 nn at the DLSZ Alabang Campus. 25 student-participants from Manresa School, Marymount Academy, San Beda College Alabang, and DLSZ plus the DLSZ MOVE and Youth for Christ (YFC) student-facilitators and adult leaders attended the event.
It was the first face-to-face activity for these four (4) schools during the pandemic. This program aims to build relationships among the student-leaders and to equip them with the skills to be effective servant leaders in their respective schools. The highlights of the day were the leadership talk by Br. Arian Lopez FSC (DLSZ 1993), team-building activities, and the prayer service. The group was also able to collect 200 hygiene kits for donation to the following DLSZ partner institutions: Haven for Children, Marillac Hills, Haven for Women, and Bahay Pag-asa, Muntinlupa.
