NARRATIVE REPORT ON FEEDING POGRAM AND HEALTH TEACHING

The NSTP students from the College of Nursing and the students from
CBAPA executed an initiative that targeted the improvement of the children in the
indicated barangay in order to promote better health, cleanliness, and financial
literacy among children in Barangay San Fabian, Echague, Isabela. The program,
which was introduced on July 17, 2023, intended to educate kids about maintaining
proper hygiene and raise awareness of it. The program began on a pleasant day. We
were happy and fortunate that the Barangay Council, which was led by Barangay
Captain Mariano of the aforementioned barrio, and our NSTP professors assisted us
in planning and successfully completing this project. A student from CBAPA led the
opening session, which served as the official start of the program, followed by an
opening remark and a zumba.

The BSN students emphasized the significance of proper oral hygiene,

taking a bath, cleaning one's face, eyes, and nose, and washing their hands
properly. In order to stop the spread of infectious diseases and ensure that children
enjoy long, healthy lives, good cleanliness is essential. Additionally, it keeps children
from skipping class, which improves learning results. Families that practice good
hygiene will stay healthy and pay less on medical expenses.

The CBAPA students talked about financial literacy, or how to spend

money properly. Having their own money to spend can help kids learn how much
things cost, how to make decisions more carefully, and how to save up for bigger
purchases. Children have learned that saving money for necessities teaches them
that money is necessary for daily expenditures. Financial literacy matters because it
equips us with the knowledge we need to handle our money sensibly. Without
financial knowledge, we can make poor choices when it comes to saving or investing
our money.

While the NSTP students were discussing, there were ready-made

meals so that the children who attended the program wouldn't feel hungry, there
were icebreakers that entertained the kids, and there were a lot of prizes, which
made the kids super happy. Before the program came to an end, the NSTP
instructors talked briefly to thank the students, the officials of the Barangay, the
children, and their parents for allowing them to take part in it. Finally, the program
ended with a closing remark, and the students cleaned the area a little bit before
they went home.
