Student Leaders of Western Mindanao State University and the Muslim Youth Movement(MYM) launched a partnership program dubbed as "Food for Peace" last August 16 for Badjao community in the west coastal barangay Sinunuc, this city.

Around 20 Badjao families were given free grocery packs by both youth leadership organizations headed by MYM acting Chairman Pang Jukupan and WMSU's University Student Council president Joseph Van Bue.

The food-giving program is intended to promote sustainable peace and development in Zamboanga City and other pars of the region.

The MYM is a movement consisting of Muslim student organizations such as Saging Republik, Funzai, Tiktak Boys, Titigaw, Quatchie, Milikans, Rota Rock, BMAST and supported by Christian student volunteers in WMSU.

WMSU USC president JV Bue and MYM adviser Nur Danial agreed to work hand and hand on future outreaches. The partnership is aimed at showing the community that the youth can actively engage in outreaches even without the support of politicians.

Meanwhile, the Buklod party of WMSU headed by Bue together with its volunteers also joined the outreach.
