A Special Project to Celebrate Nutrition Month
July is National Nutrition Month in the Philippines and during this month, we kicked off a special project to feed Mingo Meals to more kids. We enlisted the help of two Young NVC Volunteers for this. Martina and Poorna worked together to organize Write to Fight Hunger. This was an essay writing contest open to the youth (9-18 years old). While the beneficiaries of this project are in the Philippines, we invited young writers from all over the world to join the contest.
The organizers whittled down the entries to the Top 5 and our esteemed judges deliberated on the winner.
And We Have a Winner!
After careful consideration, the essay by Mikaia Raine (Mika) Araneta Sanchez came out on top! We will be feeding five children Mingo Meals for six months in Mika’s name.
