How we can achieve this goal? The Student Entrepreneurship Program Participants will be selected to be grouped based on their interests and skills. They will run a food kiosk business called Soup of the Day in the four campuses of Xavier University Ateneo CDO. They will go through a process of conceptualizing, developing, sourcing, production, distribution, selling and managing the whole business cycle within a period of one year. Every year thereafter, a new batch will continue running the business. The participants will be learning the importance of organic farming as they work with community based livelihood who is planting the organic ingredients of their products.
The Bayanga Elementary and High School has been chosen to benefit from this operation. The beneciaries will be planting hersb and vegetables that they can supply to SOD SEP as well as using it in their Bayanga kiosk operation.
