GMA Kapuso Foundation, along with its partners and sponsors, kicked off the Give a Gift, Feed a Kid program for 300 undernourished children from six schools in Gainza, Camarines Sur.
According to "24 Oras" Friday, among the beneficiaries of the feeding program is Carl. The seven-year-old boy only weighs 16 kilograms, which is considered underweight for his age. Per his teacher, Marlon Cuatro, Carl also struggles to read in class.
GMA Kapuso Foundation EVP/COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog has said that a nutritionist created a special menu for the kids enrolled in the six-month feeding program.
"Weekdays, tuwing papasok sila sa school nila, kumpleto 'yan, may protina, carbohydrates, and of course, vegetables," she shared.
On the first day of the feeding program, the children were served rice and chicken afritada. They were also administered vitamins.
"Malaki ang tulong nito para magkaroon sila ng laman ng tiyan pagpasok sa eskwela. Maraming maraming salamat for letting us share our blessings also to this community in Gainza," said Evan Chen, executive overall program head of Bounty Cares,
"Layunin din na magcommit na tumulong sa ating mga communities, especially our underprivileged communities and to ensure na ang ating mga kababayan ay mayroong proper hydration," Ryan Co, head of legal and corporate affairs of Pacific Synergy, also said.
