Project Report | Aug 24, 2016
#ProjectBaon Update as of August 2016

By Dawn Marie F. Cabigon | Founder

Ronald & Rommel
Ronald & Rommel

Brothers Ronald and Rommel , are two of the thirty (30) beneficiaries of the #ProjectBaon program launched in Barangay Tarece, San Carlos City Pangasinan last June.


Here’s a report from our Program Coordinator direct from the field: (See English translation below)


“Si Ronald po ay bunso sa 3 magkakapatid. Ang kanyang Ama ay magsasaka at nagkakaroon lamang ng kita tuwing magtatanim at mag aani. Ang kanyang Ina naman po ay sa bahay lang gumagawa ng kaing para makatulong sa gastusin. Silang magkakapatid po ay nag-aaral sa publikong paaralan. Madalas po hirap talaga sila pagdating sa pagkain,baon sa skul at lalo na tuwing sila’y magkaksakit.


Si Ronald ay kulang sa nutrisyon dahil hindi sapat ang kanilang pagkain sa bahay. Madalas noodles at tuyo ang kanilang ulam dahil iyon lang kaya ng kanilang budget. Kapag tag-ulan halos walang kita ang kanyang mga magulang dahil walang kawayan na maaring gawing kaing at kapag nakatapos ng magtanim ilang buwan pa bago sila kumita kailangan pang antayin ang panahon ng anihan.


Kaya may mga panahon na hindi sila nakakakain ng 3 beses sa ilang araw.Malaki ang pasasalamat ng kanyang mga magulang na nakasama silang dalawang magkapatid na si Rommel sa beneficiaries ng Reach Out and Feed Philippines. Sa halos magdadalawang buwan na itinakbo ng programa ay nadagdagan ang kanilang mga timbang. Sa tulong din ng Feeding Program ay natutulungan din sila sa kanilang Academics sa pamamagitan ng araw araw na pag-aaral at pagtuturo.”

“Ronald is the youngest of 3 kids. His dad is a farmer and only gets an income in times of harvest. His mom is a housewife and weaves fruit baskets made of bamboo strips to help out with their family expenses. Providing the daily school meals or baon is one major difficulty of his parents in sending him and his siblings to school everyday.


Ronald is undernourished due to the food usually served in their household. Their daily meal would usually consist of instant noodles and rice OR rice and dried fish – that is all his parents can afford. Worst is that during the rainy season, his parents would almost have zero income for weeks and months, as there are no bamboo strips available to make the fruit baskets, and they would wait for months for the next harvest time.


These are also the times when Ronald and his siblings would eat less than 3x a day.


The parents of Ronald and Rommel is thankful that they are now a beneficiary of Reach Out and Feed Philippines. Their weight has increased in the last two months of being part of the program. They are improving in their academics as well in school!”
