Cherry Ballescas - The Freeman

See you all tomorrow, Sunday at Plaza Sugbo from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M. for the #Zero Hunger/Malnutrition Cebu Event!

The event’s highlight will be the simple/healthy lunch prepared for at least 200 hungry/malnourished children of Cebu City!

What better way for you to serve the Lord and his children than to share your time/presence this Sunday morning to join feed/play games with our hungry/malnourished children?

This Sunday event calling public attention/awareness for all to unite to stop hunger/malnutrition in Cebu and the world will also be for you, our dear visitors and guests!

During this event, all of you will be treated to a whole array of fresh, organic, healthy/nutritious vegetables on display and for sale.

Learn how to prepare inexpensive, organic/healthy/nutritious food from our partners as well who will share their healthy menu and food suggestions with you all this Sunday!

Do please offer a prayer as well for God to guide our invited elected officials to share their time for this Sunday event to dialogue with the hungry/malnourished sectors, the food producers/providers, and, CSOs and other partners and guests!

Let us pray/look forward to the presence and participation of Cebu City Mayor Archival, Vice Mayor Tomas Osmeña (and wife Margot?) and the city council, most especially their prioritization of hunger/malnutrition in the next 100 days and during the rest of their term!

And an added petition please for God to send his friendly sunshine for this event too?
