Abstract/Summary

Kanlungan sa Er-Ma Ministry, Inc., is a non-profit organization which was founded in 1988 by Consuelo Balbero. Their headquarters is currently located at 2029 Benitez St., Malate, Manila. They have eight programs, which cater to the needs of the abandoned, neglected and abused children. Aside from the support they get from their donors, KSEM also holds events to raise more funds in order for them to cover the needs of the children and their other expenses.

Through series of interviews, it was revealed that the members of the organization did not undergo any seminars and training in events management, which led to unsuccessful events. This is considered an organizational communication problem because the organization's lack of process in events planning leads to not meeting their goals (number of attendees, gaining new support and communicating their advocacy).

To address this problem, the researchers conducted a one-day event management training last June 15, 2016 (Events Management Training 101 : taking your events to the next level) and also collaborated with KSEM in organizing an event to apply what they have learned from the training. The proponents served as a guide through sitting down during their meetings and assisted them in the whole process. They also took down notes on how the meeting went and provided feedback to the organization after. The event proper was entitled KSEM@28: Grace-filled years , and was held last July 30, 2016. The researchers assisted the organization in terms of the documentation.
