I. Introduction

Nutriskwela is a term borrowed from the feeding program of Letran-Calamba. The Hapag-Asa Feeding
Program of the Archdiocese of Manila was also used as a reference. Feeding initiative by the Shrine has
been going on for some years now although there was a time when it was discontinued.
II. Program
III. Organization.
There are three wheels in this program – Company (initiator), Local Government
(particularly DSWD and DOH) and Partner (Recipient) Community.
The Company (thru its Corporate Social Responsibility arm) takes the initiative in
all the phases of the program particularly in the planning stage. In the
implementation phase, CSR head is in-charge of the regular operation of the
program. To be included in his/her primary responsibility is the monitoring of the
proper implementation of all the approved activities.
Collaboration with the local government and its pertinent departmental units is
crucial particularly in the identification of participant communities as well as in
sharing and maximization of resources. This will also prevent unnecessary
duplication of services as well as help in creating more impact for the recipient
participants.
Participant Community refers to the local community where the program will be
implemented. They include village officials as well as the parents of the children. In
their own way, they can help in identifying needs under each elements of the
program as well as they can assist in the day-to-day feeding activity.
