Interested organizations may finally experience once again RAFI CFL’s experiential learning programs with members of their organization.

“We’re happy to be back in one of our favorite elements and we cannot wait to take our partners with us on this exciting journey. We know that COVID-19 has kept us apart for the last two years and we hope that through our programs at the Foressa Mountain Town we can finally reconnect organizations and their members in the beautiful outdoors,” shared Daphne Dia, Officer-in-Charge of the RAFI Center for Leaders.

“We have developed exciting new outdoor courses that allow organizations to strengthen relationships with their members by experiencing the beautiful terrains of Foressa, including their magnificent trails and soothing rivers. We are grateful to Aboitizland for their generosity in allowing us to bring our clients and partners to Foressa Mountain Town. Surely our intent to use the land is to bring in both environmental awareness and improve the well-being of the community,” she added.
