Feeding the future of our Country
by Dr. Carmela Oracion
Dr. Carmela Oracion of the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) talked about the hunger situation in the country, why it is important and urgent to address hunger and malnutrition among infants and schoolchildren, and the contributions of ACED in the fight against hunger, i.e., school feeding and family feeding programs, which Zonta Manila 1 has supported. Dr. Oracion and the ACED Team also discussed the ACED-Zonta Manila 1 project on "Young Mothers' Food and Future" which will provide support for the food and education and training of teenage mothers and pregnant women in Payatas, Quezon City. The webinar was attended by Zonta Manila 1 officers and members, Zonta Area 1 Director Noni Pulhin, and several Area 1 presidents and members. The event was co-hosted by Zonta Manila 1 Pres. Gisela Concepcion and Vice Pres. Ruby Amog.
