DSWD-7 Conducts Information Caravan in Dumanjug

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office-7 has continued its information dissemination about its programs and services through the recent information caravan conducted in Dumanjug, Cebu.

A total of 100 participants joined the activity including 4Ps beneficiaries, Sustainable Livelihood Program participants, Kalahi-CIDSS volunteers and daycare workers.

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), Kalahi-CIDSS, Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT), Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizen and Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) are the main topics discussed during the activity.

The participants were encouraged to raise questions and clarifications in relation to the programs and services through an open forum where the speakers immediately answered the questions and clarified some issues raised by the participants.

One of the community volunteers shared her experience with Kalahi-CIDSS. “Ni volunteer ko aron makatabang sa barangay samtang ang gihimong concreting sa 0.350 km Brgy. Road sa purok saging nag padayon. Kaluoy sa Diyos sa among pagpaningkamot, amo jud nakab-ot ang among kalampusan. Mapasalamaton kaayo ko sa Kalahi-CIDSS ingon man sa barangay captain na wala me ginapasagdan (I volunteer to help our barangay while the road concreting in purok saging is ongoing, and thank GOD all our hard work paid off. I’m also thankful to the Kalahi-CIDSS program as well as the barangay captain who helped us and never left us alone but Instead he guided us),” said Mrs. Evangelista C. Oyangoren, Kalahi-CIDSS community volunteer.

Before the activity ended, the participants actively answered the trivia questions given by the DSWD staff about the programs and services shared to them by the staff. For every correct answer, the participants received some freebies as prizes.

As part of the activity the participants went to Brgy. Kolabtingon, Dumanjug to visit the hanging footbridge, a Kalahi-CIDSS sub-project.
