This year was a fortunate year for CLAD, INC since a new funder in the name of Heifer International Philippines has come in to help CLAD's programs to help the marginal farmers in its area of operation. This is in complementation with the DISOP funded project which focused on capability building of this organized associations and cooperatives which has expanded its operation to the northern barangays of the Municipality of Calubian. Heifer's project is focused mainly of providing livestock to selected four hundred families covering eight of the 13 covered barangays under DISOP especifically barangays Ul-og, F.E. Marcos, Petrolio, Tagharigue, Abanilla, Villanueva including Sitio Kabicolan and Garrido. A total of 50 heads of carabao, 50 heads of cow, 150 heads of swine and 300 heads of goat including 600 heads of chicken will be distributed to these 400 identified families to augment their source of income. The incoming project is perceived by CLAD's management to be of great help for their farmer recipients.
The senior staff of CLAD and its front liners such as the Community Organizers and facilitators have been through a series of seminar workshops starting last Nov. 9 until Nov 26, 2011 to prepare them for the Heifer Project Implementation which will be implemented so soon. The seminar includes Cornerstone Workshop, TOT, Self Help Group (SHG) Organization and Project Monitoring and evaluation. Cornerstone workshop will also be conducted to the 400 identified partner families of the Heifer Project by sub-grouping them into 16 SHGs. These cornerstone workshop will be conducted in the month of December and probably will be finished in January of next year. The implementation of this Heifer Project is currently a big challenge for CLAD executive. Goodluck men.
