CLARK FREEPORT Premier shopping mall SM City Clark is hosting an art show on breastfeeding awareness in celebration of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month this August.

"This exhibit is just one of our many programs under SM Cares to promote the good health and well-being of women and nursing mothers. Through the creative expression of our artists and the support of our partners, we aim to raise awareness on the benefits of breastfeeding and the beauty of a mother's journey with her child," Madlangbayan-Rodriguez shared during the launching.
