#ProjectBaon have served over 4,570 meals to undernourished kids in schools, churches, hospital and in the poor communities in the last 8 months.
We also have 3 new locations in the Central and Southern part of the country. This area in 2013 was devastated by typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda in the Philippines), so many people have lost their houses, properties and they even lost those who are dear to them. Last July from the Visayas Region, we got to start a new location in Tacloban City. We hope to feed more children in this area and help build their place again by reaching out to the future of the community - the children.
Matthew, 6 years old from Tacloban City is from a very poor family background. With 14 children in his family, no doubt he didn't get enough from the food served on their table. He is second to the last child and the parents said he is having a hard time with comprehension. Since July, he has gained some weight. The coordinator from Tacloban also his parents said that they have seen some changes in him over the last months. He became more attentive to teachers and learning more and more to follow instructions.
Trento Agusan del Sur and Kitaotao Bukidnon is in Mindanao region. These 2 communities were so excited that the program have reached them. Both started this month and they were so happy and looking forward to see the result of the kids being nourished.
Lorena and Bobby Linggan of Kitaotao Bukidnon have been desiring to start a feeding program in their community. There are about 100 kids in their location and more than half of them are suffering from poor nutrition. They are reaching out to a tribal group called Matigsalog and they were overwhelmed when Reach Out Feed Philippines reached their place. They have launched their first feeding program last August 4th.
Currently we are feeding about 400 children on a weekly basis. We are grateful for all the support towards Reach Out Feed Philippines!
