YRAGA'S 4TH FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY AND YEAR-END PARTY

The YRAGA Youth Organization successfully conducted its 4th Founding Anniversary and Year-End Party on December 31, 2025 at Zone 5, San Isidro, Iriga City. The activity was organized to celebrate four meaningful years of service, growth, and commitment to the community, while also providing an avenue to share blessings, joy, and togetherness with the residents, especially as the year came to a close.

The event focused on fostering unity and spreading happiness within the community through various fun and engaging activities. Fun games were organized for children and community members, encouraging participation, laughter, and interaction among attendees. A raffle draw was also conducted, which added excitement to the celebration and allowed YRAGA to share simple yet meaningful gifts with the community. These activities created a lively and festive atmosphere that strengthened the bond between the organization and the people it serves.

The celebration also served as a moment of reflection and gratitude for the journey of YRAGA over the past four years. The organization expressed its heartfelt appreciation to all individuals, partners, supporters, volunteers, and community members who have helped YRAGA in one way or another. Their continued support, trust, and cooperation have been instrumental in enabling the organization to survive challenges, grow stronger, and continuously progress in its mission of youth empowerment and community service.

Through this activity, YRAGA reaffirmed its commitment to serving the community and promoting unity, volunteerism, and shared responsibility. The successful conduct of the 4th Founding Anniversary and Year-End Party not only marked a milestone in the organizationโ€™s existence but also highlighted the strong support system that has helped sustain YRAGA for four years.

The YRAGA Youth Organization officers actively participated as volunteer teachers in the SMILE PROJECT, KALAKAALAAMAN: Kalakal Para sa Pag-aaral at Kaalaman conducted by the Sangguniang Kabataan of San Isidro on December 14, 2025 at San Isidro Elementary School. This activity was an enrichment class aimed at helping children improve their literacy and numeracy skills, providing them with opportunities to meet and interact with other children, and supporting their educational needs through the distribution of school supplies. The activity promoted a positive learning environment that encouraged curiosity, confidence, and appreciation for education.

The YRAGA Youth Organization officers who served as volunteer teachers were Britney Espanto (Public Information Officer), Carl Decepeda (Representative), Vincent Decepeda (Finance Officer), and Beverly Espanto (Sergeant-at-Arms). Their active involvement and dedication greatly contributed to the effective delivery of the learning sessions and the overall success of the activity.

During the enrichment class, the volunteer teachers facilitated simple yet meaningful lessons focused on reading, writing, and basic numeracy. They guided the children through interactive activities that made learning enjoyable and engaging, while also encouraging participation and collaboration among the participants. The volunteers also assisted in the distribution of school supplies, which further motivated the children and supported their learning needs.

The participation of the YRAGA Youth Organization officers highlights the importance of volunteerism in strengthening community-based educational initiatives. Through volunteer teaching, youth leaders are able to share their time, knowledge, and skills in service of others, especially children who benefit greatly from additional academic support and encouragement. Such efforts help promote social development, reduce learning gaps, and inspire young learners to value education.

Overall, the active involvement of the YRAGA Youth Organization officers as volunteer teachers played a significant role in the successful conduct of the SK San Isidroโ€™s SMILE PROJECT, KALAKAALAAMAN. Their commitment and willingness to serve reflect the true spirit of volunteerism and demonstrate how youth leadership can positively impact education and community development.

The U-4-U Teen Trail organized by the Sangguniang Kabataan of San Isidro, Iriga City was successfully conducted on December 9, 2025 at San Isidro Elementary School.

The YRAGA Youth Volunteers actively participated in the conduct of the seminar and contributed to its smooth and orderly implementation. The volunteers involved were Britney Espanto, Beverly Espanto, and Vincent Joshua Decepeda. Their support helped ensure that the seminar was well-organized and that the participants were able to focus on the learning activities and discussions.

The seminar was successfully carried out with active participation from the teen attendees, who showed interest and engagement in the topics discussed. The collaboration between SK San Isidro and the YRAGA Youth Volunteers strengthened youth involvement in advocacy programs that address important social and health-related concerns affecting adolescents.

The participation of the YRAGA Youth Volunteers highlights the importance of volunteerism in promoting youth awareness and community education. Volunteerism plays a vital role in delivering meaningful programs that address real-life issues such as reproductive health and teenage pregnancy. Through volunteer efforts, young individuals are able to support advocacy initiatives, develop leadership and social responsibility, and help create a safe and informed environment for their peers.

In conclusion, the involvement of the YRAGA Youth Volunteers in the SK San Isidro, Iriga City U-4-U Teen Trail Seminar significantly contributed to the success of the activity. Their dedication and commitment to service exemplify the true spirit of volunteerism and reinforce the importance of youth participation in promoting health awareness and community development.

Sa loob ng tatlong araw, naisagawa natin ang tatlong programa para sa mga bata. Simula Oktubre 26 hanggang Oktubre 30, pinaghandaan at pinakita natin sa mga tao ang pagkakaisa at pagmamahal natin sa bawat miyembro ng ating komunidad.

Tunay na ngiti at tuwa ang handog nito para sa kanila na mas lalong pinapalakas ang adhikain ng YRAGA Youth Organization na pangalagaan at punan ng pag-ibig ang bawat bata sa komunidad na siyang ating tahanan.

Nakapapagod man ngunit mananatiling inspirado ang organisasyon na lumikha ng mga programa na magtutulak sa mga bata na lasapin ang kanilang pagiging bata at magsimulang mangarap para sa kanilang kinabukasan.

Maraming salamat sa inyong suporta hindi lamang para sa YRAGA kundi pati na rin sa mga bata!
