Relevant Training for Income-Generating Activity was Conducted among the Members of Federation
KAAGAPAY OFW Resource Center Inc. with the partnership of the regional office of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) 12 organized the Training on Banana-based Food Processing and Food Safety last 24 January 2012 which was attended by nineteen (19) participants coming from various grassroots member organizations of Kagkalimwa OFW Federation. The decision to conduct this training resulted from the previous partnership of the two which aims to equip the participants with various skills and capacities for possible income-generating activities. In this training, the participants were taught about how to make sweetened banan chips, cheese-flavored banana chips, and banana catsup. Aside from teaching the participants on how to process those foods, they were also taught with the proper food handling practices, food safety, excellent personal hygiene and good quality of the product, and proper packaging of the product. The training was a good start for both the individual and the organization they represented. It was considered as possible source of small-scale income generating activity for each participant in particular and for the organization in general. The participants also learned that what they had processed from banana product is not only for small-scale business purposes but can also be done for own consumption of their family. Members of the KAGKALIMWA OFW FEDERATION are hoping that the Department Of Science and Technology (DOST) 12will continue its support and facilitation for various trainings for the OFW returnees and family members of OFWs.
