| Woman of the Year Award  Our very own co-founder and president Anna Meloto-Wilk has been named by London-based beauty industry publication Cosmetics Design as the winner of the Global Beauty Industry Woman of the Year Award. The Global Beauty Industry Woman of the Year Award honors female beauty industry professionals whose pioneering spirit, leadership and mentorship is shaping the future of the cosmetics and personal care industry. "When we started Human Nature, I never imagined that we would one day be noticed by Europe's beauty industry giants! Since the beginning, our incredibly hard working little team just tried to stick to what we believed was right - loving the Philippines through our ingredients, loving the poor as a social enterprise and making safe, natural products affordable for ordinary Filipinos," shares Anna. "This award is proof that 'Made in the Philippines' can truly be just as good as 'Made in France' or 'Made in the UK' and I hope it will encourage other Filipinas to never give up on our country and our talented, heroic people," she added.

| Many of us have memories of our best-loved baon from childhood - the ones that filled our young hearts with pure "baon joy". Whether it was hotdog with rice, "tasty bread" spread thick with your favorite peanut butter or chocolate milk and cookies - nothing beats homemade baon cooked with love. Unfortunately, for a vast number of Filipino school children, the "baon joy" experience is almost an impossibility. According to the National Nutrition Council, at least 4 million children are suffering from malnutrition. Malnutrition, defined as lack of proper nutrition, affects a child's brain development. It can also lead to other health conditions including reduced growth rate or stunting and severe thinness or wastage. Join the fight against child hunger by spending your volunteer time with Kusina ng Kalinga, a feeding program that doesn't just feed the hungry, but brings hope to the next generation as well.  Children enjoying a KnK meal from the kitchen in GK Sitio Pajo Here are five reasons why Kusina ng Kalinga is the perfect volunteer time pick for you! |
