Students Of Today, Entrepreneurs Of Tomorrow

This post is specially dedicated to the student volunteers from the Business Management Society (BMS) of De La Salle University–Manila (DLSU). Or as Thomas has come to call them, “supermen and superwomen”. More than 10 students from this organisation enthusiastically signed up to help in the book launch when Nikko first approached them about a week before the launch. Nikko told me this:

I showed them the book about a week ago, and mentioning the book launch. I ask them if they want to volunteer for the book launch. They didn’t think twice, they said yes right away! Not only that. They did really an amazing job. Ushering the guests, fixing up the venue of the book launch, took care of the registration, take pictures and videos and many more! I didn’t even have to supervise them, they know pretty much what to do. These students have a lot of passion and drive! The book launch was smooth sailing and even the guests were impressed with the work the students have done.

Let me think… one week, school work and other activities later.. and this is what they still amazingly manage to come up with! Take a look at the organised team working so hard behind the scenes of the book launch and you’ll understand why everyone, including Thomas, was so impressed with these group of students.

Even though I was not personally there to witness them at work, the photos that I received really ’spoke a thousand words’. In fact, the photos were taken by one of them. There were two assigned photographers for the evening and one videographer who captured the evening’s festivities for posterity. The two photographers are featured below, Dom (left) and Ivan, who is posing with Thomas.

It really says something about an organisation when its members epitomise the very values that the organisation was set up to be. In this case, the BMS of DLSU, which aims to develop technically capable and socially responsible Christian entrepreneurs, should certainly be proud of its members. From the authors and myself, thank you very much for showing us the spirit of young entrepreneurs in the making!

Students from the BMS turned up in full force for the launch, helpers and supporters alike!

I hear the student volunteers loved their IDs (sample on left) & asked Thomas to autograph it for them.
