SIFI CONDUCTS DENTAL MISSION, HYGIENE KITS DISTRIBUTION

50 beneficiaries who are now all smiles, benefited from the Dental Mission conducted by the Sugar Industry Foundation, Inc. (SIFI) together with Dr. Vangie Maria N. De Guzman at the URC Compound in Balayan, Batangas last March 6-9, 2022.

Spearheaded by South Luzon Project Officer John Cena in partnership with URC-SURE Balayan, this was the first Dental Mission conducted by SIFI since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. All beneficiaries underwent dental check-up and tooth extraction.

Community restrictions may be easing up and alert levels may be going down all over the country but SIFI’s health pillar will never take the health and safety of its beneficiaries for granted.

The SIFI Health Pillar conducted a total of 9 distribution events in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao during the months of February and March.

The distributions benefited family members from the Municipality of E.B. Magalona, Silay City, La Carlota City in Negros Occidental; Passi City in Iloilo; Municipality of Balayan in Batangas, and Quezon in Bukidnon.

The distribution events were conducted in partnership with Simag Foundation Inc./AHSSI Planters Multi-Purpose Cooperative, URC – La Carlota, Hawaiian Philippine Company (HPCo), URC – Passi, First Farmers Association (FFA) who also gave out 5 kilos of rice to each household, URC-SURE Balayan, Batangas Sugar Planters Cooperative Marketing Association (BSPCMA), Asociacion De Agricultores De La Region Oeste De Batangas, Inc. (AAROB) and  First Mindanao United Sugar Planters Association, Inc.(FIMUSPAI).
