BACOLOD CITY — The campaign of the Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation (NVCF) to provide nutritional support for children in resettlement areas in war-torn Marawi City has been given an added boost through a donation of more than P1.7 million from Sunlife Foundation. The donation will provide 623 children of Marawi with daily nutritious Mingo Meals, made of rice, mung bean and malunggay (moringa), for the next six months, according to NVCF president Millie Kilayko. The children covered by the feeding program are among the thousands displaced by war who are now staying at the Balay Pag-asa and Bakwit village resettlement areas in Marawi. On May 28 last year, NVCF sent its first shipment of Mingo Meals to the evacuation centers. Since this month, NVCF has provided 7,173,336 Mingo Meals to children in 34 provinces, she added.
