The Kiwanis
Club of Mckinley for their “Baby Shower” Series. The concept is based on the
passage of RA 11148 or the First 1000 Days Law provides the enabling
environment for the sustained provision of critical early child care
interventions for the first 1000 days of a child's life, for optimal growth and
development.
The
activities includes; Health Check Up, Feeding Program, Provisions of Vitamins
and Medicines, Grooming and Health & Wellness Talks among others. The
activity is for the span of almost 3 years from the conception up to 2 years of
a child.
KC Mckinley
was established last August 1, 2021 and now headed by Dr. Rocaya Vanessa
Mangondato of Taguig. The Baby Shower Series is her project and focus on the
indigent expectant mothers and parents at Marawi Compound in The Muslim Community in Maharlika, Taguig.
For the
pampering session, Reyes Haircutters with 70 branches nationwide provides Hair
& Make Up and Manicure and Pedicure courtesy of the founder and CEO, Les
Reyes with the assistance of Division 3A under Kiwanis Philippine Luzon
District. The club provides fresh fruits also to all participants. Some mothers
gave birth already and some are still pregnant.
Last time,
the division provided skincare for the mothers and contributed in the gift giving
for them. The project started October 2023 and Dr. Rocaya is hoping that the
next President will continue the project.
The first
1,000 days refers to a child's life from the moment they are conceived until
they reach 2 years of age (24 months). This is a time when their brain, body
and immune system grows and develops significantly. During pregnancy, your
health, nutrition and stress levels can have an effect on your baby's future.
