On its 30th Jubilee Year, Operation Smile will conduct “The Journey Home” from Oct. 26 to Dec. 2, a nationwide simultaneous international mission, with volunteers from 30 countries, aiming to give comprehensive treatment to some 4,500 children with cleft, through safe surgical care. The Mariquita Salimbangon Yeung Charitable Foundation is hosting Operation Smile Medical Mission in Cebu for the 15th year; that’s why, my friend, Monette Aliño, has her hands full. A worthy project indeed.

Theater at Benedicto College
The heads, faculty and students of Benedicto College had an interactive theater workshop titled, Theater in the Classroom and On Stage! (Part One). The lively workshop synergized how created drama using the Richard Via approach could be used as a learning strategy. The talented students of Benedicto College , with Jun Visayas leading them, demonstrated how stage poise and presence, emoting and effective communication skills and music play an important role in the theater arts.
The scholars of University of San Jose Recoletos (USJ-R) Lhuillier and Speechcom joined in the stage immersion activities. The school is preparing for a big musical event for its Founder’s Day in February 2013. Meantime, the USJ-R Lhuillier scholars, in coordination with the USJ-R Arts and Sciences, will be re-showing the satirical play, “The Gods are Coming!” on Nov. 20 at the USJ-R main campus. This is part of their scholarship academic requirement in theater arts. Free admission.
By the way, Speechcom offers regular and in-plant sessions in English proficiency skills, public speaking; theater arts; songs and choreography; event management; personality development with social usage, decorum and protocol. Please call 236-3242 or 518-7088 for details.
