Congratulations Tita Wing Del Prado and Ramon del Prado on your exhibit!!!

 Another project by the Negrese for Change Foundation ( NVC ) is the Start Right Live Bright ProjectÂ
These beautiful ladies, Giselle and Camille, explained to me about Mingo 🙂  You can buy Mingo at P 4.00 a pack which is good for a day already for a child.  There are two flavors, regular and chocolate.  Of course kids prefer chocolate 🙂  Mingo was already existent before Yolanda came and they were using Mingo for relief in the past.  All you need is water to mix with the powdered Mingo.  Read more below Â
Another way you can help this Christmas is by buying Mingo cards for only P 250.00 and help in their feeding program
