Service begins where Hope is Shared

May 9, 2026

Last May 9, 2026 – JCI Surigao North, led by 2026 LO President Jemima S. Plaza, proudly stood as co-host for the JCI Philippines Mindanao Area 5 Launching of the National Program Bags of Hope held at Mat-I Elementary School together with JCI Surigao Wensie as the lead host.

More than the distribution of school bags and supplies, the initiative became a reminder that even simple acts of generosity can inspire confidence, encouragement, and brighter opportunities for young learners. Seeing the smiles of the students and the unity among the partner organizations reflected what JCI service is truly about – creating positive change through collaboration and compassion.

With the leadership of 2026 LO President of JCI Surigao Wensie, Shiela Lauren Palma-Mijares as lead host, and the support of the entire JCI Philippines North Mindanao Region led by 2026 Regional Vice President Junelyn Chaves, Area Chairperson Ma. Theresa Augusta Alolor, and fellow JCIP NorthMin leaders, the activity became a meaningful start to a weekend dedicated to impact and purpose.

JCI Surigao North remains grateful for every opportunity to serve, connect, and help build communities where hope continues to grow – one bag, one child, and one act of kindness at a time.
