Feeding Program: San Jose Day Care Center

Some 200 kids from San Jose Day Care Center assembled at the gym despite the heavy downpour in the morning of November 14.

At the helm is Mrs. Editha Erana, the master teacher of the day care center and a CITE parent who was on her toes in preparing the food for the launching of the feeding program.

A handful of parents also came by to help Mrs. Erana who was agog of the feeding program sponsored by Century Pacific Group and CITE.

Back in CITE, the Feeding Team was shorthanded. But under the good leadership of Mr. June Capuyan who is the current project manager, he was able to tap some young staffers to join the feeding activity. In tow was Mr. Dennis Barlas, a new recruit who was tasked to give a talk to the parents.

Mr. Barlas’s engagement with the parents gave him a new perspective on the current problems besetting the families nowadays. Parents in attendance, mostly mothers, have expressed their grievances on the influences that may have affected the education of their children—especially on their nutrition.

Now that CPG and CITE have committed to help the school in alleviating the problems in nutrition, the parents also assured that they will do everything they can in order to send the kids regularly to the school.
