Who are we?
Who are the people behind this?
This initiative is realized by the alumni of Malinao East Elementary School in partnership with the school principal together with the supportive parents.
Why are we doing this?
The initiative was inspired by the experiences of the alumni during their time in school. We believe that the sole of focus of the pupils is to learn instead of listening to the rumbling sound of their empty stomach.
What is the plan?
The plan is to increase the frequency of the feeding until we reach the goal of one meal every weekday. But the goal is to go beyond that by having a sustainable food supply. Existing gardens can be utilized for this purpose.
We are still far from it but with your help, everything is possible.
What’s up with the name?
Toyo at Mantika means soy sauce and cooking oil. These were the ultimate combo for a satisfying lunch during our time. Rice (wrapped in banana leaf) + Toyo + Oil = 5 star gourmet meal.
