JCI Week launched; stronger members’ ties eyed

In its commitment to foster stronger ties among its members, Junior Chamber International (JCI) Central Visayas launched JCI Week last April 11, 2021.

The campaign also features talks on sustainability, introduction to bamboos and its importance in combating climate change, and the benefits of community gardening.
