In this “Spotlight” we interviewed 
Hive account@steemph.cebu about their community initiatives in Cebu, the Philippines. (50% of the SBD earned from this post will go directly to the Hive account@steemph.cebu account.)
Take a look at their work and please consider making a SBD donation to Hive account@steemph.cebu for the support of their World Food Day project. Each 1 SBD donated will go towards a child in need of a meal and a pair of slippers. Fellow Steemians, let's put our best foot forward and support this great initiative!
