2. Turnover of breakfast items and cash to Wawa National High School
In continuation of its breakfast program to feed hungry children breakfast every school day, Isang Bata turns over a month's worth of breakfast goodies for the students of Wawa National High School. Isang Bata gives away 60 Nutrivim cereal beverage packs, 3 kilograms of Ovaltine chocolate powder drink, 3 kilograms of oatmeal, 3 kilograms of elbow macaroni, 1.5 kilograms of biscuits/crackers, plus cash to cover for perishable items like bread, eggs, soup ingredients, etc. Our gratitude to Mr. Peter Foo and Ma'am Ritchelle Yorsua for making the project possible.
We are also handing over cash to the advisers of our scholars to cover for this month's school expenses. Thank you to Peter Foo, Aze Ramos, Carol Macasaet and Chiki Agbayani.
3. Help for the babies of Grace to be Born Shelter
I went to Grace to be Born Shelter on the morning of November 1st to do an ocular to determine the needs of the babies there. I met the house mother/midwife, Isabel, and the person in charge, Rey Ortega. I also saw the 8 babies they are currently taking care of. The babies are really small, ranging from 2 months to a year old. There are 8 right now, 6 girls and 2 boys. Plus some pregnant mothers waiting for their term (i don't remember how many). The volunteer nurse there said all the babies are currently showing signs of pneumonia. :( Two babies (twins) have just been discharged from the hospital from pneumonia also.
Grace to be Born is a shelter for babies and pregnant mothers who are finding it difficult to support their pregnancy or who may want to eventually leave their child in the shelter. It's also a place for abandoned children, some of them are there waiting for the parents to come back for them. But there are others who might be put up for adoption if the parents don't get them back.
Based on the interview conducted, Isang Bata drafted a list of things that the mothers and babies need. We will be making our purchase and delivering the goods this coming week. Isang Bata thanks Carla Jimenez, Lyli Eleuterio, Angelita Sian Dizon and Evelyn Claros-Corr for their expression of help.
If you would like to support any of Isang Bata's on going projects, we will be very grateful. Please get in touch with Ime Aznar through 639164120636 or imelda.aznar@yahoo.com
