We visited our nine partner schools in Quezon together with volunteers from the Health Services Department (HSD) and the SHL Academic Resource Center (SHL-ARC) to conduct WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Training. With the active participation of students, and the guidance of school teachers and administrators, the sessions became both engaging and meaningful. This initiative forms part of our counterpart support to the ongoing HapagAsa Integrated Feeding Program in partnership with the Assisi Development Foundation—recognizing that proper nutrition and good hygiene must go hand in hand to truly improve children’s health and well-being.
Through discussions and demonstrations on proper handwashing, toothbrushing, bathing, and other essential hygiene practices, we aimed to help ensure that the children fully benefit from the feeding program in a safe and healthy way. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to LPU Management for their continued support of our initiatives. We are also deeply grateful to the Assisi Development Foundation Inc. (ADFI) for their continued partnership and commitment to our shared programs. Likewise, we thank our local partners—LGU, DepEd, and NICP—for their collaboration. Special thanks as well to Nurse Susan from HSD for helping facilitate the training, together with Roi from SHL-ARC. This activity is a reminder that beyond providing food, nurturing lifelong habits of cleanliness and care is equally vital in building healthier communities.
