Iloilo City—A private group which call themselves Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in cooperation with ABS CBN Iloilo Kapamilya sa barangay, initiated a feeding program at Brgy. Calaparan, Arevalo Iloilo last December 2009.
More than 300 children ranging from 3 to 5 years old, who are residents of barangay Calaparan, participated in the event. The children were given snacks and food by the members of the private group who were also assisted by the barangay officials.
"This program aims to help nutritionally inadequate children" said Lydia G. Gotico, member of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. "We offer this for the Christmas spirit, for the Christmas season; this is the spirit of sharing", she added.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs consist of retired employees of the Department of Agri-culture Regional Field Unit 6. The group is formed in 2005. As of this year, there are 10 recognized members of the organization, including Gotico.
The feeding program is a regular activity ever since the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs took its root. Other activities of the group include community assemblies and lectures. (by Grechelle Gay G. Magbanua) /MP
