In line with its efforts to produce a more energized, inspired, and efficient staff who will be responsible for coordinating the nutrition program in the region, NNC Calabarzon conducted its first-ever Team Building Activity on December 20 and 21, 2012. The activity, which also aimed to enhance the group’s ability to work closely together as a team, involved a wide range of activities starting from the challenging physical and mental activities at The Forest Club in Bay, Laguna. There the group performed various tasks meant to help foster self confidence, trust, teamwork, and overcoming one’s fears such as climbing and trekking the 500-meter Canopy Walk (14-feet high hanging bridge); and the rope bridge that crosses a lagoon; obstacle courses; the Web Challenge; and other ice breaking activities.

The “0h-so-tiring-yet-fulfilling day” culminated first in a natural warm spring bath at the Club; and later at the Wonder Spring Private Resort in Pansol, Laguna. The team building activity continued the next day at the Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, where the team completed its bonding moments to get to know each other better.

With these activities, the TEAM CALABARZON, now a renewed cohesive unit of individuals that can effectively work together, is ready to face its mission of ensuring effective harmonization of nutrition programs at the regional and sub-regional levels, both of public and private sectors, and other stakeholders in addressing malnutrition in the region.
