Tacurong City's EGGducation graduates
TACURONG CITY - For
Susan Gamboa, her daily chores in the house and her balut vending have become
routinary and quite boring.
Mag-obra
sa balay, tapos magbaligya. Pabalik-balik lang adlaw-adlaw,” she shared.
She
had that same routine until she decided to join the LGU Nutrition EGGducation
course upon the invitation of her fellow members in the Balut Vendors SEA-K
Association.
Nagapasalamat
guid ako nga nakasali ako sa sini nga seminar kay nakatuon guid ako sang kaayuhan
para sa nutrisyon sang pamilya..kag nagka panahon man kami sang mga upod ko nga
mag-bonding,” declared Gamboa.
Every
Tuesday, from May 26 to June 30, Susan and fifty-one more members of the
Association attended EGGducation classes at the Tacurong CDRRMC. The City
Social Welfare and Development Office facilitated the course hoping to raise
awareness on the health benefits of eggs.
Eggs
are the cheapest source of high quality protein. Through this course, we intend
to make our balut vendors understand the value of their product, not just for
their livelihood but to the health of their family,” said Nutrition Office
Lorna Pama.
During
the closing ceremonies of Nutrition EGGducation on July 7, Mayor Lina O.
Montilla and Councilor Rodrigo Jamorabon thanked the Association for their
active participation.
Ang
amon pasalamat amon ipaabot sa paagi nga magpisan pa guid kami kag palanggaon
namon ang mga proyekto o serbisyo nga ginahatag sa amon,” Association President
Edna Maravilla stated.
Balut
Vendors SEA-K Association will soon receive Nego Karts worth P749,000 From
the Department of Labor and Employment. The livelihood assistance was made
possible through the initiative of Mayor Lina O. Montilla in 2014. (LGU-Tacurong
