The Rotary Club of Hundred Islands launched the 100-day Supplemental Feeding Project at Seselangen Elementary School last July 7, 2008.  Fifty (50) malnourished pupils from kindergarten to Grade IV will be fed once a day from Monday to Friday.  Approximately twenty (20) days a month for five (5) months.

The implementation of the project was in coordination with the teaching force of the Seselangen Elementary School and the parents of the pupil beneficiaries.  The school principal oversees the buying, preparation and cooking of the food to be served.  Present during the initial feeding were President Henry R. Onia, President-Elect/Secretary Antero “Roy” Magno, Past President August “Gus” Ferrer, Past President/Treasurer Oscar “Oca” Tolentino, Rotarians Jeanne Rendon, Marcelina “Celing” Cabrito, Assistant Treasurer Maria Amparo “Amphie” de los Santos and Paul Harris Fellow Felicidad “Felicing” Montemayor.

To insure the effectiveness of the project, the pupil beneficiaries were given purgatives before the date of the feeding.

The Rotary Club of Hundred Islands will monitor the implementation of the supplemental feeding project which includes the weighing of the pupils every month until the termination of the project.  After the implementation of the project, the club will render its report to the District Matching Grant in-Charge.

The project was funded by a District Matching Grant between Rotary International District 3790 and Rotary Club of Salisbury, District 9500 Australia.  The amount of fund which will be received by the clubs for the implementation of the Supplemental Feeding Project sourced through District Matching Grant depends upon the amount it contributed to the Rotary Foundation.  In the case of the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands, the club received the amount of P84,000.00 equivalent to US$2,000.00 because it donated the amount of US$3,800 to the Rotary Foundation.
