Project Adhika was grateful to take part in a 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 conducted by Scholars Of Sustenance Philippines - SOS Philippines at 𝐔𝐏 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲. The training taught our volunteers proper food preparation, handling, and safety practices, knowledge that is especially important as we continue our feeding programs for children and youth beneficiaries in Nueva Vizcaya.

But the learning did not end in the training room. During our stay in Metro Manila, we also had the opportunity to put these lessons into practice through hands-on food preparation and actual feeding activities, from preparing the meals to safely distributing them to the communities we served.

We are truly grateful to 𝐒𝐎𝐒 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 for sharing not only food, but also knowledge and practices that help us serve better. Their advocacy has become an important part of Project Adhika’s journey, shaping how we approach food rescue, community service, and volunteerism.

What we learned in the Metro, we carry home to Nueva Vizcaya. 🌱

Thank you, SOS Philippines, for helping us become more prepared and responsible volunteers, and for reminding us that 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥. 🤍

Today, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, Project Adhika successfully launched its first 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, bringing food and joy to the children of 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧, 𝐃𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐱 𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞, 𝐍𝐮𝐞𝐯𝐚 𝐕𝐢𝐳𝐜𝐚𝐲𝐚. Since it was a Sunday, we went house to house to personally share the freshly prepared meals with the children, making sure they could still be part of the feeding without having to gather in one place.

Our heartfelt thanks to Scholars Of Sustenance Philippines - SOS Philippines for the allocation that made this activity possible. We are grateful to have received their support and to be able to share it with the community.

We also thank 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐃. 𝐑𝐮𝐢𝐳, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧, 𝐃𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐱 𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞, for patiently accompanying us and helping us reach the homes of the children, and our 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 for welcoming us and allowing us to share this simple blessing with the community.

A simple Sunday, a few shared meals, and many little smiles along the way. 🤍🌱

While spending time in 𝐒𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐨, some of our Project Adhika members took a break from their vacation to visit and volunteer at 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞.

Espoir School of Life is a community-based school in Siargao that provides education to children and creates a space where they can learn, grow, and develop important values. The school also welcomes volunteers who are willing to share their time, skills, and talents in support of their programs.

Our volunteers spent time with the children and helped wherever they could. More than anything, they were touched by the children’s genuine gratitude and happiness in the simple things around them. It was a beautiful reminder that service does not always require grand gestures. Sometimes, it simply means giving a little of your time to be present for someone else.

We are grateful to 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 for welcoming our volunteers and allowing them to experience a different kind of Siargao story, one filled with learning, connection, and service.

Kahit saan man tayo mapunta, may oras pa ring maibibigay para sa iba. 🌱

Project Adhika was grateful to be part of 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐨 𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 in 𝐒𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨, 𝐁𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠, 𝐍𝐮𝐞𝐯𝐚 𝐕𝐢𝐳𝐜𝐚𝐲𝐚, where we took part in the Feeding Program, seminars, and various youth activities and competitions.

Activities like these give young people a space to 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬. More than the activities themselves, they create opportunities for the youth to grow, participate, and find their own ways to contribute to the community.

Our heartfelt thanks to 𝐒𝐊 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 George Jr Barlolong and the 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 for the trust, warm welcome, and opportunity to be part of this meaningful experience. We are grateful to have shared these moments with fellow young people and to witness the energy and potential of our youth.

Last 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, Project Adhika had the privilege of volunteering in the 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 spearheaded by 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 (𝐒𝐎𝐒 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬) at the 𝐍𝐮𝐞𝐯𝐚 𝐕𝐢𝐳𝐜𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐜. (𝐍𝐕𝐀𝐓) in Bambang.

Scholars Of Sustenance Philippines - SOS Philippines is a food rescue foundation committed to reducing food waste and fighting hunger by recovering good-quality surplus food and redistributing it to communities in need. Through its 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, SOS also supports local farmers by ensuring that surplus harvests are put to good use instead of going to waste.

In Nueva Vizcaya, this initiative was made possible in partnership with Nueva Vizcaya Agricultural Terminal Inc. —the province's major trading hub for fresh agricultural produce. During the activity, 𝐍𝐕𝐀𝐓 fairly assessed and priced the farmers' vegetables based on the prevailing market value. Farmers then exchanged the equivalent value of their produce for grocery items and hygiene kits provided by SOS Philippines.

More than a barter activity, it was a meaningful collaboration that valued the hard work of our farmers, reduced food waste, and strengthened the spirit of community.

Project Adhika is truly grateful to 𝐒𝐎𝐒 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 and 𝐍𝐕𝐀𝐓 for allowing us to be part of this inspiring initiative. As volunteers, we witnessed how compassion, collaboration, and agriculture can come together to create lasting impact—one harvest at a time.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧 for equipping our participants with practical knowledge on 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲—empowering our youth to become responsible and informed digital citizens.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to 𝐌𝐚'𝐚𝐦 𝐉𝐞𝐳𝐳𝐚-𝐋𝐲𝐧 𝐋.

The afternoon was filled with activities that strengthened teamwork, built trust, and created lasting friendships, followed by a simple yet meaningful awarding ceremony that celebrated the participants' enthusiasm, creativity, and active involvement throughout the camp.

To our speakers, partners, facilitators, and participants, thank you for making Day 2 a meaningful learning experience. Together, we continue to empower young leaders who are ready to serve with purpose and lead with integrity.
