Just do what you want and reach out for your dreams.

This is 11 year-old Cherie Mei M. Delos Reyes’ motto.

Delos Reyes is this year’s winner in the Regional On-the-Spot Poster Making Contest conducted by the Department of Agriculture-Caraga.

“This is my first time to join this contest so I was really surprised when the result was announced. I’m very happy that I won and hopefully I can inspire other kids like me to go for what they want,” she said.

The contest is conducted annually as part of the activities of the World Food Day celebration.
