In a joint effort to promote sustainable livelihoods, the Department of Social Welfare and Development - Sustainable Livelihood Program (DSWD-SLP), in collaboration with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Isabela, Negros Occidental, and the Technology and Livelihood Development Center (TLDC), recently held a Livelihood Skills Training on Basic Baking and Beverage Preparation to Poblacion Isabela Bayanihan Vendors Association in Isabela, Negros Occidental.
The training, aimed at enhancing income-generating skills among participants, featured hands-on sessions in baking egg pies and chiffon cakes, as well as crafting popular beverages like iced coffee and milk tea.
