UPang teams up with Jollibee Foundation
News
By Frankie Cortez
The Center for Student Development and Leadership
(CSDL) entered a partnership with Jollibee Foundation.
Launched on Aug. 17 in Barangay Salapingao and
Lomboy, and on Aug. 23 in Pantal District, the outreach activity called “Lusog,
Busog, Talino (BLT) program” provides for the meals of 40 grade one pupils in
each beneficiary school. This year, Lomboy Elementary School, Salapingao
Elementary School and Pantal Elementary School benefit from the program.
CSDL, on the other hand, conducts a separate
feeding program in Calmay Elementary School.
According to CSDL Director Adele Traspe, the
university believes that proper nutrition and a full stomach help pupils muster
enough concentration on their studies.
CSDL and Jollibee Foundation also work with the
barangay council and the Parents-Teacher Association (PTA) in each barangay.
Little by little, the feeding program will be passed on to the leadership of
the barangay council and the PTA.
