RC Holy Spirit and partners led by President Abet Sevilla launched 120-day milk feeding & nutrition program to save 50 “severely wasted� Grade 1 pupils from malnutrition

On September 6, 2019, RCHS President Abet Sevilla signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Ms Marilyn Mabale, Administrator of the National Dairy Authority (NDA). The MOA states, among others, that NDA will fund the Milk Feeding Program of the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit on a 60-40 cost sharing basis. The program consists of providing pasteurized choco-flavored milk to 50 pre-identified severely malnourished Grade I pupils of Dona Juana Elementary School (DJES) on a continuing and regular basis for a period of 120 feeding days. On September 11, 2019, DJES Principal Dr Gerry Isip signed the MOA in the presence of Pres Abet and NDA Milk Feeding Coordinator Joshua Lomuntad. As stipulated in the MOA, Mr Joshua conducted an orientation seminar on

September 16, 2019 on the value of milk and the role of all the parties concerned with the implementation of the Program. Immediately after the orientation, the Milk Feeding Program was launched at the covered court of DJES where 50 severely malnourished Grade I pupils were given chocolate-flavored milk and

spaghetti. Program Champion PP Beth Sy oversaw the feeding together with Feeding Teacher Coordinator Maam Lorna Corre. Assisting were President Abet, PE Jerry Sy, PP Ric Salvador, PP Marcia Salvador and some parents.
