– Learning while having fun through sports and music
THEY say experience is the best teacher and a good way to teach the kids is to expose them to as many physical and values-enriching experiences as possible during the summer.
At Davao Light and Power Company, its Labor-Management Council (LMC) has recently concluded with its 15th year of summer sports clinics and music lessons for the company employees’ dependents, according to corporate communications office head, Ross Luga.
Taught are the basic lessons for playing tennis and swimming for sports, and acoustic guitar, keyboards and voice for music.
The electric firm’s vice president for human resource, Lito Ortiz said acquiring new skills in sports promotes both physical fitness and good sportsmanship. Meanwhile, allowing the kids to discover their talents in music help boost their self esteem.
The other values learned from the month-long activity are building self-confidence, discipline, fairness, teamwork, and the essence of following rules, which are all important in meeting life’s challenges ahead and developing children into well rounded individuals.
Engaging in sports and music also keeps youngsters from the hazards of too much exposure in the internet, Ortiz added.
