No one should get used to this sight: Undernourished kids falling in a single file as they headed towards the food station for the feeding program. The vision was appalling and heartbreaking especially that the problem in malnutrition has affected the weakest among us.
About 420 of these grade school children in San Jose Elementary School were identified by the school principal to be lacking in proper nourishment. Some skip breakfast and rely on dole-out from the teachers.
Ms. Ardaba, one of the elementary teachers who brought her class to the feeding site, was elated to know that her school benefited from the CITE-Century Pacific Group tie-up to feed the severely wasted children.
Feeding programs come few and far between in San Jose because of its treacherous road but CITE wanting to extend its help to the less privileged went the mile.
During a short opening program on November 9, the children expressed their gratitude in simple gestures of thank you’s to the CITE Feeding Team who brought quality Century products to their school.
