It’s just the third day of the New Year and while many offices are still closed, NVC’s doors opened wide at crack of dawn by the 2nd of January so that our field officer Alyne could go off to serve families devastated by Typhoon Ursula. Of course we wish we were on vacation like many...
Mica (in the center photo with her Tita Bugsy) lost her life too soon two years ago in a tragic vehicular accident. On November 4, what would have been Mica’s 19th birthday, her Tita Bugsy found a wonderful way to share Mica’s memory 19,000 times with kids whose most recent memories are tragic, whose days...
One year ago, ReyJohn was a hungry, unsmiling boy who couldn’t stop eating Mingo Meals (four in one sitting as you can see). We’re back in ReyJohn’s village of Glab in Zamboanga del Sur with a fresh supply Mingo Meals. We don’t know if it’s to us he gave his biggest grin, or if it...
To celebrate their golden jubilee next year, the Kaisahan Class, Grade School ’66 and High School ’70 of La Salle Bacolod sponsored an NVC community in Sitio Palid Palid of Brgy Cabug, Bacolod. They are sponsoring 40 children in the Mingo Meals nutrition protocol of daily feeding for six months.

NVC’s 10 Million Mingo Meals donors are taking on the enrollment of 400 children, with the balance of 250...
Who says that Mingo Meals are only for kids? Certainly not this six footer. Six years ago, when he still had two human legs, Erik Lacson walked with us several kilometers along shoreline stretches in Leyte and Samar, to document our turnover of Peter Project boats to people who lost their boats to Typhoon Haiyan. After that,...
When Dan O’Bannon decided to visit the Philippines after 18 years of absence, he wanted to do more than just revisit familiar places and reconnect with familiar faces. He decided to look for a way to bring something more meaningful and so he opened a “Go Fund Me” page and shared his story and ours...
Cuteness came in batches as groups of students from Lamblight Catholic School visited the NVC Production Plant last week to learn how Mingo is made and why good nutrition is important to growing children, especially underprivileged ones. We thank Lamblight Catholic School for making their students a part of our Mingo journey, and most especially...
