Following the successful Christmas party for the cherubs of Star of Hope Daycare Center in Barangay Sunvalley last December 2016, Rudolf Lietz, Inc. had decided to pursue another outreach project through a weeklong feeding program for their new batch of pupils. The initiative which spanned for six (6) school days started on August 11th and continued on August 14th-18th, 2017, brought a throng of healthy, yet child-friendly meals that benefited the same daycare center.

The meals, which were planned by an RLI dietitian, included high concentration of protein and micronutrients in the ingredients which are crucial to the overall development of school-age children.

Just like the previous outreach program, the volunteers, who are composed of RLI employees, have taken a short morning break from their daily work routines to spend time with the children during their lunch time inside the school. Parents were also seen to be so enthusiastic about the program, and flocked the school premises to see what’s in store on the menu for the kids.

“I would like to also see the meals that are being served to the children so that I can apply those on my son’s daily packed lunch”, according to one of the parents spectating through the school window.

Gracing the last day of the program was Brgy. Sunvalley Councilor Edwin Baduyao, who also energetically assisted in the distribution of the meals. A warm message of gratitude was also delivered by the Councilor to the volunteers and RLI itself.

“We are absolutely grateful to the help that Rudolf Lietz, Inc. has provided for these little children of our Barangay. We hope that you will never grow tired in helping our community”, said Councilor Baduyao while handing the certificate of gratitude to the RLI team.

Overall, the social outreach feeding program by RLI nourished about 71 children, coming from the two classes that daycare center has.

In pursuit to a more extensive and meaningful CSR projects, topped with the success of the preceding missions, Rudolf Lietz Inc. is now keen in more social outreach program for the benefit of the community, and beyond.
