Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Should continue and increase the current zero absenteeism on distribution dates, school attendance/performance, student-teacher relationships, parent involvement, and government-private sector cooperation.
Project Message
All the family is happy because my daughter brings something back from kindergarten. I sometimes make sweets from the cheese. I notice my daughter talks proudly about kindergarten and loves it now.
