THANK YOU DOC!


The Habitat started already the construction at the site. Kuya Larry and some engineers and workers of Habitat for humanity started some diggings in the area. There were also people from the area present to assist and begin their sweat equity.
In the afternoon, there were some doctors coming from the UP-PGH who came and assisted in the weeklong feeding program at the St. Hannibal Training Center. There were variety of nutritious food prepared by the parents for the children. The volunteer doctors as well did some check ups to see the physical conditions of the children. Before they go to meal, the doctors taught them how to clean their hands properly.
