Heroes Among Us: Extending our Reach to the Community

In its effort to extend its reach to those who have less in life, the Century Pacific Group RSPo Foundation  (CPG-RSPO) forged ties with CITE to give one million meals to the underprivileged youth and children. CITE responded to this request through a program dubbed as “Heroes Among Us: A Community and Nutrition Project.”

The project aims to feed the undernourished children in the community in partnership with the beneficiary  schools and parents and teachers associations.

Initially, seven elementary schools were identified as beneficiaries. The seven schools namely, Cabancalan I Elementary School (300 pupils) , San Jose Elementary School (250 pupils), Cabancalan II Elementary School (200 pupils), Budlaan Elementary School (200 pupils), Talamban Elementary School (500 pupils), Banilad Elementary School (200 pupils), and San Jose Day Care (200 pupils) signed up their participation during the orientation held October 18.

Four feeding activities will be conducted for each school. The two-hour activity will be highlighted by a learning session for the pupils, a virtue talk for parents and selected teachers, and a pictorial to cap each activity.

Each course would include any of the donated products from Century such as Century Tuna, 555 Sardines, Argentina Corned Beef, and Wow Ulam to be prepared with vegetables and other nutritious ingredients by partner schools. CITE would also tap some donors to dole out bread, margarine, and disposable utensils.

CITE would also do its own feeding program for its students through active student clubs.
