On March 25, 2012, the Gawad Kalinga Committee conducted a medical mission in our GK village in Villa Paraiso, Sun Valley, Parañaque City. The mission, the 2nd this Rotary year, was performed by 12 volunteer
doctors from the Makati Medical Center, who served 320 patients. As always, the patients received, for free, over-the-counter medicines for common ailments such as colds and cough. There to supervise the mission was Dir. Fred Menzel, GC Committee chair.

Feeding Program kicks of 2011-2012 run with launch of module in Binondo

The supplemental feeding program now goes by a new name—Pasiglahin ang Estudyanteng Pinoy, PEP for short. Chairman Freddie Borromeo coined the project title to illustrate the project’s objective of bringing back life and the joy of good health to malnourished school children. 
           

To kick-off its 2011-2011 run, the committee launched on 6th September a module of the supplemental feeding program for 30 first-graders at the Marcela Agoncillo Elementary School in Binondo, Manila. This is the second module at Marcela Agoncillo and the first under Pres. Rene Limjoco; the last school-based module was in Calatagan, Batangas during the term of IPP Jun Rojas.
