ILIGAN CITY (PIA)--The Rotary Club of Iligan Maria Cristina (RCIMC) together with its partners held a community outreach program, benefitting some 100 pupils in Dulag Elementary School in this city.
The pupils received Vitamin C with Zinc syrup and capsules good for one-month consumption, hygiene kits, slippers, rice packs with canned goods, noodles and oatmeal, Jollibee food packs and juice, and chocolates.
RCIMC president Shine Barga said they are committed to support the beneficiaries for the betterment of their lives.
