The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and several other non-government organizations were the top honorees of the first-ever Appreciation Night for partner NGOs hosted by the City of Vigan under Mayor Juan Carlo Medina on January 28, 2018 as it celebrated its Longganisa Festival.
TYKFI was recognized for various collaborative projects with Vigan City. Since 2006, TYKFI has entered into partnerships that invest in the education of the city’s young ones, provided help towards food security in schools, and gave aid to schools as part of its typhoon assistance.
Recently, the Foundation has partnered with the Early Childhood Care and Development Council to support the Mayor’s effort to professionalize and raise the standards of early childhood care and education. The Foundation has provided training for all of the barangay’s day care workers. Each day care center was also furnished with ECCD’s Learning Resource Package (LRP), a standardized and comprehensive tool guide for the early learning process, for which they were trained.
