Pagbilao, Quezon - In a bid to battle malnutrition among students in public schools TeaM Energy, together with the Department of Education spearheads an on-going six month feeding program in select public schools in the Municipality of Pagbilao in Quezon.
A total of 256 identified elementary students in Polo South Elementary School, Polo North Elementary School, and Pagbilao West Elementary School are undergoing a six-month feeding program where the students are fed a healthy lunch every day during school days until they reach their weight.
“With this program, we hope to make a dent in curbing malnutrition among students in the beneficiary schools,” said Aurea Gandia, District Supervisor of DepEd Pagbilao. “We are glad that TeaM Energy has agreed to be our partner in this worthwile project,” she adds.
The partnership, which began in October 2016 is among the programs being implemented by TeaM Energy through its social responsibility arm TeaM Energy Foundation Inc (TEFI), in their host communities. The feeding program is part of DepEd’s Adopt-a-School program, wherein private sectors participate in the realization of projects that will address a public school’s needs and provide students a quality learning experience.
TeaM Energy, a partnership between two noted Japanese firms Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and Marubeni Corporation is the operator of two coal-fired power plants in Pagbilao, Quezon and Sual, Pangasinan. TeaM Energy has been DepEd’s active partner for the Adopt-a-School program since its inception partner in 2011.
