First day of School Mass Feeding
Program was launched in Sapie Primary School, Paligue, Indanan, Sulu last
February 26, 2017. Funds for the mass feeding emerged out of the Asia America
Initiative headed by Prof. Albert M. Santoli, the President and parents of
Sapie Primary School led by TIC, Faijal I. Andan. It is a fifty-fifty
partnership amounting to P 8.00 per partner per child. The total cost for the
menu is equal to P 16.00. Prof Santoli shoulders every P 8.00 of the school
children on the part of AAI. The total number of enrolled students is 26 from
Kindergarten to Grade 2. Therefore; the product of 26 learners and P 8.00 makes
Prof accountable for the match.

It was not just the students who were happy with the mass lunch. Parents also asked if they would be allowed to give P 8.00 counterpart so that they could share eating lunch with their children. PSDS replied them in a smile and formal way that their request should be consulted to Prof thru AAI Coordinator. It was so funny for them. They almost forgot their apprehension over the scattered military operation in their locality resulted from the encounter happened last February 21, 2017 between AFP and negative group at about half kilometer away from the school of their children. Thus, School Mass Feeding Program that serves as lunch for the learners was conducted in Social Hall. The President of the PTA was so active in assisting Nurjaina F. Yusop, Multigrade 1 and 2 teacher and the TIC manage the parents to participate in cooking of the children's lunch in school.
