4.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It is a right of a children to have a food to share and to be physically healthy in a way of
proper and nutritious meal, and my project will surely play a big role for them to understand how
important to be healthy and be physically fit.
As a chief Girl Scout medal scheme Candidate, I present to have a feeding program to
satisfy the unmet needs of the young ones. The feeding program will, have different activities
such as demonstration of proper handwashing and tooth brushing, lectures about food and
nutrition and hands-on cooking activity in the said area.
The feeding program will also help the community development of Barangay Koronadal
Proper to decrease the number of malnourished and for the improvement of children’s health.
Together with my troop leader and work group, we will work hard in hand and give our
best for this feeding program project. With this little thing, a pretty good start for the children to
have a healthy and physically fitted body of Barangay Koronadal Proper will remain as our
legacy.

Weighing the pros and cons of starting a feeding program, it became very clear that
such a project will have a long-term positive impact that would not only benefit the students but
also the parents, teachers, and local community. And some benefits of conducting feeding
program are alleviates the health and developmental consequences of childhood malnutrition,
higher school attendance & lower dropout rates, improved concentration and energy levels in
students, burden off of parents’ & guardians’ shoulders, increased sales for local farmers and
vendors, in the long-term, the local community will begin to rise above poverty as more children
complete their education, using the increased attendance to conduct annual health-checks.

Malnutrition results from a poor diet or a lack of food. It happens when the intake of
nutrients or energy is too high, too low, or poorly balanced.
Malnutrition can lead to delayed growth or wasting while a diet that provides too much food, but
food necessarily balance many leads to obesity.
In many parts of the world, undernutrition results from a lack of food. In some cases,
how ever undernourishment may stem from a health condition, such as eating disorder or a
chronic illness that prevents the person from absorbing nutrients some symptoms are lack of
appetite or interest in food or drink, tiredness and irritability, inability to concentrate, always
feeling cold, loss of fat, muscle moss and body tissue, higher risk of complications after surgery.
The causes are low intake of food, mutual health problem, social and modality problems.
Digestive disorder, stomach conditions and alcoholism.
Feeding programs are common in public schools where malnourished students are
beneficiaries. However, these programs last only for a few months due to financial constraints.
This is one the reason why Senate Bill 1279 or the "National School Feeding Program Act" was
introduced to institutionalize school feeding programs across the country to combat hunger and
undernutrition among students. Speaking at the End Hunger Summit 2017, Senator Grace Poe
emphasized the importance of sustainable school feeding programs in public schools to address
the hunger issues among students. "I believe that hunger is inconsistent with basic human
rights and dignity," added Poe, one of the co-authors of SB 1279.
In the Philippines, there are 3.1 million families suffering from hunger. That, according to
the senator, equates to around 15 million Filipinos. Under the proposed bill, schools and local
governments will put up a centralized kitchen where the preparations of meals shall be done.
The bill also seeks to create the National Nutrition Targeting System where all existing nutrition
and poverty database will be harmonized to address the needs of every individual or group.

8. LEARNING/INSIGHTS
Base on my research I learned that everyday children need more foods, to eat in breakfast,
lunch and dinner but sometimes other children are not fortunate to complete each meal. Most of
children go to school without eating breakfast that’s why the number of malnourished children increase,
and this is alarming. Luckily our government saw this problem, so they conduct different feeding
programs in the school, to help in maintaining the normal diet of the children I decided to conduct
feeding program.
Eating nutritious food can help them gain weight, and far them from any kind of sickness and
diseases. To reduce the number of malnourished, everyone must learn to take nutritious foods. It will
not end up there I would also teach the children the proper handwashing and tooth brushing because I
believed that handwashing can prevent sickness specially polio and having worms in the tummy.
I would apply the information I have gathered to my research to conduct lectures about food
and nutrition and to have hands-on cooking activity in the area to teach the parents more recipes to
prepare for their children to have a healthy and happy tummy.
