Sawang Calero, Guba, and Talamban Day Care Centers and Feeding Programs

Two Centers Continue Service to Children
Since 1982, Cebu Quotarians have been improving the lives of some of the most vulnerable in their society. Their Sawang Calero Day Care Center provides nutrition and education to children in a fishing village who would otherwise eat only rice and salt or scavenge for food. With daily meals and educational programming, the Quota club provides children with proper nutrition and a safe haven from drug- and crime-ridden communities. The Sawang Calero center, which now enrolls 130 students, was so successful that in 1998, the club opened a second center for 75 children in the mountain barangay of Guba.

Third Center Opens
Cebu Quotarians will now extend their reach to a third community, opening a center for 120 children in Talamban. They have purchased a 150 square-meter lot to construct the center, which, like the others, will provide three- to six-year old children with supplemental feeding and early education that encompasses reading, writing, arithmetic, and proper conduct, so that they are prepared for entry into grade 1. The school also offers medical and dental clinics, deworming, and vitamins.

Each aspect of the program—nutritional, educational, and medical—ensures healthy development during this critical stage in life. Club-to-Club donations will reach children in a variety of important ways, including food, medicine, vitamins, building maintenance, uniforms, shoes, staff salaries, and holiday gifts.
