Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings from Don Jose Integrated High School.
Project Busog-Lusog is a School-Based Feeding Program of Don Jose Integrated High School
and was launched last school year in July 2019. Our school has already been implementing
feeding program since July 2015. This program aims to provide nourishment to learners with
poor nutritional status, contribute to their academic performance, and enhance their health
and nutritional values. For years of implementation of the program, it greatly helped the
learners in sustaining their nutritional needs which lead them to improve academically. To
strengthen the advocacies of the program, Project Busog-Lusog will be continuously
implemented as an avenue to help the learners throughout the school year and the upcoming
years as well. Teachers, student leaders, and parents are hand-in-hand with the support of
school administrators and school head.
Serving learners with nutritious meals becomes possible and financially sustained with the
use of canteen fund allotment for the past years. But during this time of pandemic, schools
are closed, learners are at home, and canteens are not operating resulting to absence of
resources to sustain the needs of the program.
Known for your keen interest in helping public school learners, we would like to invite you to
be our program partner to meet the project’s goals. We believe that you could greatly help our
learners and their families in extending hand with fruits, beans, rice, milk, eggs, root crops,
oats/cereals/corn, or any contribution not only for them to be able to eat, but also to be
able to boost their health to cope with the challenges of this pandemic.
Don Jose Integrated High School will start distributing donations on May 17, 2021 (Monday).
The school is open to receive the specified items for donations starting May 13, 2021
(Thursday). For more details of the project, you may contact the School Based Feeding
