EARLIER TODAY-The Provincial SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) Federation, in coordination with the Provincial Youth Development Office, initiated an incredibly impactful and well-thought-out initiative.
Combining expressive arts with active outdoor games as part of Mental Health Advocacy that centers on PFA (Psychological First Aid) and Mental Psychosocial Support (MPSS), the team spent a day with the children of Barangay Butulan in the municipality of Jose Abad Santos. The said barangay is one of the hardest-hit barangays of JAS, leaving almost all families homeless.
Around 150 children took part in the activity, which was held at their temporary shelter (Tent City) Area, and with their parents watching, they later joined the games. The excitement and glow of the children’s faces were quite evident and somehow gave a kind of fulfillment in the hearts of the SK officers who facilitated the activity.
Way to go, Denzel Ray Danwata, President of the Provincial SK Federation. Many thanks as well to Governor Atty. Franklin "Colin" Bautista, through PYDO Leo Manisan, Provincial Admin Brett L. Bautista , Vice Governor Lorna Bautista-Bandigan , Congressman Claude P. Bautista and Sangguniang Panlalawigan for the support.
