Hello hello! How are you all? I hope you're having a great day and always feeling blessed. It's me, haruki.tls123, back with a new blog. I'm excited to share another experience with you all!

For today's blog, we're diving into another youth activity in our barangay. As you might have noticed, many of my recent posts focus on youth activities because they truly are the heart of our community. Our topic today is the feeding program in our community, which aims to nourish and bring joy to the children in our area. This initiative is close to my heart, and I'm thrilled to share all the details and experiences with you. Let's dive right into the topic and explore the wonderful impact of our feeding program!


So yeah, after our recent community activity focused on addressing vandalism, we brainstormed our next initiative and came up with the idea of a simple yet impactful feeding program, especially for the children.

The feeding program took place just this past July 21 in the afternoon, and I was one of the volunteers since I'm an active youth leader and officer. We wanted to ensure that the children in our barangay had access to nutritious meals, and this program was a great way to engage the youth in community service. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together, from planning the menu to preparing and distributing the food. We aimed not only to fill their stomachs but also to show them that the community cares and supports their well-being.

So, at around 1 PM, I headed straight to the purok in our barangay where we were going to cook the porridge that we planned to distribute. Upon arriving, I immediately helped with the preparations. We gathered firewood to fuel the large pot we would be cooking in and began adding the ingredients to the pot. Everyone pitched in, whether it was chopping vegetables, stirring the pot, or making sure the fire was just right. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of camaraderie and purpose as we all worked together to prepare a delicious and nourishing meal for the children.

Later on, the SK officers arrived, including the Chairman and the council members, to assist us. They provided the spoons and cups we needed for distribution. With everyone’s cooperation, everything was organized smoothly. It was heartwarming to see the community come together, ensuring that each detail was meticulously handled to make the event a success.

As we waited for the porridge to cook after adding all the ingredients, our SK Chairwoman treated us to snacks. It was a much-needed break that replaced our tiredness with satisfaction. We shared stories, laughed, and enjoyed the moment, which strengthened our bond as a team. The gesture not only filled our stomachs but also lifted our spirits, reminding us of the joy in serving our community.

There were some light-hearted conversations and compliments exchanged about how well our purok was organized. Our fellow volunteers praised the cleanliness and efficiency of our setup, and we all felt proud of what we had achieved. The discussions quickly turned to potential future activities, with many of us suggesting ideas that could further involve the youth. We talked about organizing more community events, from environmental clean-ups to educational workshops, and the importance of keeping the younger generation engaged and active in community service.

After waiting patiently for several minutes, the porridge was finally cooked. The aroma filled the air, and our excitement grew as we prepared to taste it. When we scooped some into a bowl, the rich flavor was undeniable BWHAHAHAAHHAHA yes it was delicious 😍. We shared smiles and laughter, satisfied with our culinary efforts. The warmth of the porridge was a comforting sight, especially fitting for the rainy weather. With paper cups in hand, we were ready to distribute the steaming porridge to the children, knowing it would bring them joy and nourishment. The sight of the children’s eager faces and the thought of the warmth the porridge would provide made us even more excited to start the distribution.

Additionally, each cup of porridge came with free quail eggs to ensure that the meal was hearty and filling. We wanted the porridge to be nutritious and satisfying, so we included a generous amount of meat, vegetables, and quail eggs in each serving. The combination made for a delicious and balanced meal, providing essential nutrients to the children in our community.

We discussed the possibility of making this feeding program a regular monthly event, recognizing the positive impact it could have. By consistently offering these nutritious meals, we aim to support the health and well-being of the children, ensuring they have access to good food even when times are tough.


After tasting the delicious porridge ourselves, we immediately called all the children to gather. We organized them into neat lines to ensure the distribution would be orderly and efficient, with the youngest ones going first. We prepared the paper cups filled with hearty porridge and quail eggs, and the distribution began. It was heartwarming to see the joy on the children’s faces as they received their cups. Their smiles and laughter were contagious, and it made all the hard work worthwhile. The sense of fulfillment we felt, knowing we were making a difference, was incredibly rewarding.

After the children had their share, we called out to everyone else in the vicinity. We made sure that even random passersby received some porridge, ensuring no one was left out. We had plenty of food to go around, so we even handed cups to motorcycle drivers and others working hard in the community.

It was a gratifying experience to see people from all walks of life come together and share a meal. Everyone, from local random elderly people to drivers, received a serving of the nutritious porridge. This inclusive approach underscored the unity and generosity within our community, making the event even more special and memorable.

And of course, we didn't forget to grab a bowl for ourselves! This action in our community is more than just feeding people; it’s about fostering a sense of unity and support. By coming together, we show that we care for one another and that everyone is valued. Seeing the smiles on the children's faces and the gratitude from the adults reminded us of the impact we can make when we work together. It's a testament to the strength of our community and the positive changes we can bring about through simple yet meaningful actions.
