Malnourished pupils at Dona Raymunda Verzosa Elementary experience feeding |

Last July 30, 2008, the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands launched the 100-day once-a-day feeding program for malnourished and underweight pupils from Kindergarten to Grade IV at Dona Raymunda Versoza Elementary School, Barangay Victoria, Sual, Pangasinan. This is in consonance to the thrust of the Rotary International President on health and hunger.
Vice President Ma. Concepcion “Beng” T. Briones drove her new car
with Director for Club Administration Salvador “Zaldy” Palecpec as her
passenger from the assembly point. President Henry R. Onia waited for
Immediate Past President Ildefonso “Doods” Manzano, Jr., Past President
/ Assistant Governor William “Iam” Chan and Rotarian Jeanne Rendon
before leaving for the venue of the second feeding program of the club
at Victoria, Sual, Pangasinan.
When the Rotarians arrived at the Dona Raymunda Verzosa Elementary
School, the potato soup was already cooked and the pupil-beneficiaries
were already assembled ready to partake of the first of the twenty
foods items to be prepared for them during the duration of the feeding
program. Before the feeding activity, the pupil - beneficiaries were
dewormed by the Municipal Health Officer of the Municipality of Sual
and that the weights of the pupil-beneficiaries were taken before the
start of the feeding program.
It took time for the Hundred Islands Rotary to locate the second
beneficiary o the District Supplemental Feeding project. The club
could not implement in the Local Government Units of Alaminos City,
Mabini and Burgos because their respective Mayors who are Rotarians are
implementing their own feeding program funded with their own budgets.
Like Seselangen Elementary School where the first District Supplemental
Feeding is on-going, it is the first time for the Dona Raymunda Versoza
Elementary School experienced such project.
