A Bowl of Nutrition
Warm and delightful smiles were seen from Barangay Gilutungan's young hopeful children as the Rotary Club of Mactan launched Feeding Program in cooperation with the Philippine Navy – Naval Force Central last 2nd of September 2007 at Gilutungan Elementary School (Gilutungan Island, Cordova, Cebu).
Children lined up at once with their bowls, tumblers and spoons. Some brought dippers and are taking turns in using the spoon. Rotarians blithely served the children and always reminded them, "Hutda gyud na ninyo ha? Ingna inyong mama nga mag-lugaw nga parehas ani…dapat nay mga vegetables." Indeed, very evident in the eyes of the innocent children that they are enjoying the nutritious and delicious hot-served "lugaw".
Wondered who were the cooks of the program? "Oo, kami ang nagluto. Mga 12 kilos nga bugas ang among gilugaw unya amo gisagulan ug kalabasa, carrots ug manok para healthy! “ , answered a volunteer parent together with her the 3 other volunteers. What makes the "lugaw" more delicious and healthy, 'passion and love' are the secret ingredients, I supposed!
For more than a hundred of children benefited the project, Rotary Club of Mactan together with the Rotaract Club of Mactan CITE Chapter who also participated the club activity, foresee of more projects that would help promote a healthy way of living... and that is to start eating a bowl of nutrition.
