It was last year when Jeffria's teacher said that she needed to join the feeding program. I was speechless, the teacher notice it. So she explained that it's not because Jeffria is underweight, others want to be in the program because they gave a lot of food and the milk is really delicious.
Last year, because of the flood we weren't able to go to school. But their group chat told us to go and pick up all the food supply. It was on timing because we're on my in-laws house. And some of their food are also hidden. Im now thankful that Jeffria has been chose to join the program. She likes the milk but only DEPED knows where to get it. There are 2 cups of rice, bread, biscuits, cookies and healthy chips.
Now, I feel very thankful that Jeffria was chosen to be part of the program. She really enjoys it, especially the milk. She always tells me how good it tastes, and I honestly don’t know where they get it. Maybe only DEPED Department of Education knows where to get it. Aside from the milk, they also receive two cups of rice, bread, biscuits, cookies, and even healthy chips. It may look simple, but for a child, it means a lot. They have a schedule on where they will distribute the food to the kids. And look how happy they are. The photos are the batch of the grade one. While the whole class of kinder are all included.
Seeing Jeffria and the others happy with their food makes my heart feel lighter. As a parent, small and big things like this already feel like a blessing. The feeding program is not just about food. It also helps children feel included, cared for, and supported. I can see how it helps them enjoy school more and feel excited every time they receive their meals. The good Samaritans are all kind to sponsored a lot of kids and may continue to help a lot of childeren.
