Updates: School-based Poultry Project


We are pleased to inform you that today we received latest pictures of our poultry project in Mlang Pilot Elementary School - MPES (North Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines).


We started the project last September with the construction of the poultry cages. Today, we finally received news that the chickens are already laying eggs. Our appreciation to the hard work of the members of Parents Teachers Association under the able leadership of Mr. Cyrel Defensor, school principal.


Early February this year, MPES received additional funding from ETWA Netherlands to add 300 chicks.
