Siargao school feeding program receive aid from private org
DAPA, Surigao del Norte -- Basic education schools in General Luna town, province of Surigao del Norte have begun distributing their feeding supplies from the Skokiaan Foundation from Germany.
The Dao Primary School and Magsaysay Elementary School I, has
initially distributed Saturday, February 5, the feeding supplies to their 110
learners and 10 teaching staff courtesy of the said foreign foundation.
The implementation of their feeding program will also now be
made three months instead of two, schools' cluster head Meriam Jabines shared
with DepEd-Siargao schools division superintendent Dr. Nelia S. Lomocso, who
facilitated the distribution with select personnel.
“Duha ka buyan ra man actually an amo tagbutang sa proposal, but
luckily tagdugangan nan isa pa ka buyan nan Skokiaan Foundation provided na
madajaw an amo implementation (We only indicated two months in our proposal but
luckily, the Skokiaan Foundation extended it for another month, provided that
our implementation will go well),” Jabines said.
“We are thankful to have been granted this assistance. We will
make all our transactions transparent and set our implementation properly
because this is the only way we can make them satisfied,” she added.
The Skokiaan Foundation has allocated PHP222,300 budget for the
month of February, and the next fund transfer will be in the following months.
On the other hand, Lomocso said she will write a letter
addressed to Skokiaan Foundation to convey her gratitude for having such a
generous initiative, which is instrumental for the department’s rebuilding
efforts. (Edgar R. Gorgonio, Jr./DepEd-Siargao/PIA-Surigao del Norte)
