FIGHTING HUNGER THROUGH SERVICE

by Shawn Aldhrean Maayo, Rotaract Club of STI College

Last July 16, 2022, the Rotary Club of Pasay Silangan led by PLP Jamer Yapchulay spearheaded a “feeding program” at Barangay Trece, Pasay City. This is also in celebration of the National Nutrition Month with the theme, “New Normal na Nutrisyon, Sama-samang Gawan ng Solusyon!”

The project was conducted in collaboration with Dok Jovy & Friends Org. Incorporated led by Dr. Jovita Linggon Baliao, Barangay Trece Council headed by Brgy. Chairman Eduardo Cruz and the Rotaract Club of STI College Pasay-Edsa. Fun-filled activities and ice breakers were conducted to ensure that all participants including their parents understood the concept of Go Grow Glow Foods in connection with nutrition. Prizes were given to pro-active participants. In addition, it was stressed out that participation of everybody is crucial in ensuring success in giving nutrition to all during this new normal. After series of tiring and educational activities, nutritious foods were distributed to all participants.

The project was one of the reasons to see again the smile on the faces of the children during this new normal. The event served more than fifty underprivileged children of Barangay Trece, Pasay City. Special thanks to PDG Connie Beltran, Rheena Bernadette Cruz Villamor, Tita Anne Tesalona and Sis Salazar Kat Fran.
