03 - 07 September 2012 - The Institute of Huma Nutrition & Food (IHNF) of the UPLB College of Human Ecology conducted the Training of Trainers on the Basic Course for BNSs for the province of Oriental Mindoro at Kimberly Hotel in Manila. The 5 days training aims to equip the trainers to further build the capacities of their BNSs and to level the skills and knowledge of all BNSs in the country.

Representatives from Calapan City, 12 Municipalities of Oriental Mindoro, and those from the Provincial Nutrition Office actively participated in the said training. Lecturers discussed the training module in detail while the attendees actively participated in the role-out of activities as BNS participants. The recognition of the heavy task that the BNSs handle as volunteer community workers were very much realized early on.
