Micro-finance group feeds Minglanilla day care pupils

The Achievers group of the Minglanilla branch of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) Micro-finance recently celebrated their 10th anniversary by conducting a feeding program that benefited more than 25 day care pupils of the barangay Cantao-an Day Care Center in Naga City, southern Cebu.

“Every year we celebrate our anniversary by preparing a simple salu-salo and group bonding at the beach. However, this year, we thought of doing something new and good for the community,” said Evelyn Villarmia, a group member.

Jocelyn Repunte, group chairperson, said they agreed to cook and prepare nutritious porridge for the children.

The day care pupils enjoyed the treat and, with their teachers, thanked the organizers.

RAFI Micro-finance Minglanilla branch, led by its manager Kirk Joseph Laurete, assisted in the program.

RAFI Micro-finance is a program under the Micro-finance & Entrepreneurship focus area of RAFI, providing financial resources and know-how to women micro-entrepreneurs to nurture financial independence and entrepreneurship.

Its other focus areas are integrated development, culture and heritage, leadership and citizenship and education.
