The Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay Apopong sponsored a FREE CIRCUMCISION ACTIVITY for the young boys of Apopong,  Summer of 2011. The activity tagged as "OPERATION TULI" is only one of the summer activities this youth organization conducts. 

First Day of "OPERATION TULI"

Headed by the SK Chairperson Laurienz Janine Fernandez the Sangguniang Kabataan  went to different puroks on different date schedules. They visited the following puroks: Purok 1 Sto. Niño - May 13; San Lorenzo Ruiz - May 17; New Society - May 18-19; Rosadel Lanton - May 20; Purok Maunlad - May 23 and Purok 2 Lanton - May 24. Aside from the schedule of the SK, they also gave medicines to Lanton High School who also conducted the same activity.

They kicked-off the activity at Purok 1 Sto. Niño together with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency as the International Families Day is being celebrated last May May 13, 2011. 82 young boys availed the free circumcision during that day. Aside from the mentioned activity, the SK and PDEA also conducted a "Libreng Gupit" activity in preparation for the school opening.

one of the partners - PDEA

A total of 500 children availed the OPERATION TULI for the Summer of 2011, wherein the beneficiaries also received free medicines. The fund use for this activity is from the Annual Budget of Sangguniang Kabataan of Apopong.

Considering that not all parents can send their male young children to a doctor to get circumcised, this kind of activity from Sangguniang Kabataan is worth lauded and worth replicated by other young leaders in their respective Barangays.

For the residents of Barangay Apopong, the Sangguniang Kabataan is now preparing for a DENTAL MISSION where you can get a free tooth extraction. Watch out for the Schedule!
