THE TWO GREAT MINDS: the founders of TENTREPRENEUR

By Earl John A. Besario

“Tentrepreneur: Empowering Communities through Sustainable Livelihood and Social Responsibility”

“I want to give back to the community and to the place who has been generous to me” This sentence proved that serving the community is a noble passion and endeavor one would pursue. In a world that often seems driven by self-interest and personal gain, the act of giving back to the community holds a special significance especially for JCI Members Dan John Caballero and Kyle Alexander Aznar who albeit have been successful in their own fields, never forget what it means to be socially responsible. They believe that through service which is a powerful force it can potentially transform lives, create lasting impact, and foster a sense of unity and compassion within society. That’s why they came up with the project called

“Tentrepreneur”. They believe that through this project they can fulfill their inner desire to help one another whether it’s through volunteering time, donating resources, or lending a helping hand, giving back offers a profound opportunity to make a difference and strengthen the very fabric of our communities.

JCI Mem. Dan John Caballero, Vice President for Community Development, who is also a brave seafarer highlighted why he supported Tentrepreneur which is situated on Barangay Lagtang at the City of Talisay. When questioned about what was the project all about he said, “Giving the citizens of Lagtang, 1 quality tent which is not your usual tent like you see in times of wake or any, these are tents that will lasts through time.” JCI Mem. Dan John also highlighted that is the project does not only happen one time but rather one sitio at a time because together with the tent comes with seminar to improve one’s livelihood through conducting livelihood seminars ranging from how to make a candle, conducting a small enterprise and how to bake. When asked why project was initiated, he responded, “Because it has potential to improve, updates and feedbacks are also easy to connect, also its very strategic when considering the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility.”

Talking about corporate social responsibility, JCI Mem. Dan John also partnered with the founder and creator of the project, JCI Mem. Kyle Alexander Aznar who is a successful entrepreneur and is also one of founding owners of Aznar company highlighted why he wanted to have the project in the vicinity near his company he had this to say, “To be practical, because if we had this social project within our area, we could monitor the progress of the project and also to ensure the success of the project.” Mr. Aznar whose company highlights in the mining industry highlights also how this project could be an avenue of repaying to the townsfolk of letting the company used their natural resources. He also pointed out why the project is good for the community, he exclaimed, “This project is not all about donating products or goods but its about how to make products or good in order for them to use it as a tool as a way or means of livelihood.” Just like in the bible in which he quoted, “Give a man a fish and he would survive a day, but teach a man how to fish, and he would be thankful for he would survive a lifetime.” In essence it highlights why these two great men came up with the idea of this project, because it was not about for the sake of giving but because they had a goal and a mission in mind that they would carry throughout their whole lives.
