Camp Aruga Angels Take on Boot Camp

In the scenic city of Sausalito, California, where fog clings to the hills and the bay shimmers invitingly, a group of brave souls joined the Western Region and other leaders of the Philippine Nurses Association of America,  for a unique and challenging experience. These were not ordinary adventurers, but rather nurses (and nurse practitioners too) from the Philippine Nurses Association of Colorado (PNACO) embarking on a journey of leadership boot camp and empowerment.

Among them were three of Charlie's PNACO Angels, Marilyn, Janice, and Maria, who joined the Camp "Aruga" a Filipino word meaning "caring." These dedicated nurses had volunteered to participate in a boot camp designed to enhance their skills and knowledge in the areas of leadership and community engagement.

As the days unfolded, they were put through their paces. They participated in workshops on topics such as leadership, mission, and policies to strengthen the group. They will update our group in Colorado and share what they learned on our next face-to-face get together on 11/11/23. See you there.
