The Mamanwa and Manobo kids who live in the area of Mahayahay, Kitcharao where Mt. Zion Tribal Training Center is located have a hard time getting three square meals a day.
TCLP started the Lunch Feeding Program because many of these tribal children were dropping out of school or were missing school a lot because they didn't have breakfast and eventually lunch too.
TCLP felt that it can't provide all the meals but at least we would be able to provide lunch and at least they can have one balanced meal a day. The lunch is also an incentive to keep the kids in school because kids who don't show up in school don't get to have lunch. Kids who go to school near Mt. Zion come to the center at noon.
See how they appreciate the meal prepared for them in this video:
They come, wash their hands, pray for their meal and enjoy a good meal. They go back to school after lunch to attend their classes in the afternoon. Lunch is brought by our TCLP staff to the kids whose schools are farther from Mt. Zion.
Lunch is brought there via motorcycle.
Please help us pray that we find more resources to be able to help these children grow well - heart, mind, body and soul.
