Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (RAFI) in cooperation with local government units in Cebu turned over 13 day care centers and child-friendly indigenous playgrounds within the third quarter of the year.
Through the Dolores Aboitiz Children’s Fund (DACF), RAFI donated day care centers to Barangays Owak, Manguiao, San Isidro, Tag-amakan, and Lunas in Asturias town on July 1 and 2; Barangays Punay, Tampaan, Saksak, and Zaragosa in Aloguinsan town on July 22 and 23; Barangay Cansojong in Talisay City on July 24; and Barangays Bulasa, Talaga, and Usmad in Argao town a month later.
DACF supports early childhood care and development, noting that 80% of the child’s brain develops between ages three and six.
RAFI-DACF Exeutive Director Maria Iris Andrino acknowledged the commitment of the town and barangay officials in realizing the partnership. “I am glad nga nagtinabangay ang tanan (all did their part to help),” she said.
