Feeding Program

July 5, 2022

Malnutrition is very rampant in every corner of the globe. Many children are lack of nutrition to enable them to grow healthy at their specific age. Our country is one of the many which malnutrition is a very common problem. Many kids seem to live with malnutrition and it becomes a normal thing for us. Some of us believe it is genetics for kids to be petite and skinny because their parents are like that as well. Others believe as well that it's because kids are picky when it comes to food and parents couldn't afford to give them healthy foods that they like to eat because of poverty.

To my dear sponsors thank you so much for the support. God bless.

Let's not focus unto malnutrition or on poverty problems. Let's focus on the things that we can do to atleast lessen the problem. For today's article I wanna share to you a simple intervention that we do for the malnutrition problem which is feeding Program.

Feeding Program is held for the malnourished kids to help them recover from malnutrition. We start our feeding Program yesterday. We choose a remote area in our town to held the program. We had 40 recipients of the program ranging from 4-6 years old. We weigh them and get their height and record it to track if there are any changes along the process of the program. Our schedule will be Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday. We have two months duration for the program.

Tita Cristina, Couples for Christ coordinator and grade 1 teacher of the community organize the feeding Program. She is the one who list down all the possible recipients and records the necessary matters. She also groups the parents for food preparation and other small things that would complete the program.

Meanwhile ate Tim short for Fatima, the girl with sunglasses, is the sponsor of the program. The nutritious meal we prepare for he kids is coming from her family which resides on the other side of the globe. She initiates the feeding Program as a treat to the kids since July is her birth month.

The program will not be possible without the active parents who do the preparation. They are very much cooperative with the program because they are grateful and previlege to the program. The group 1 prepare the meal for the our first day.

We have 30 or more packs of Vita meal from Africa for the feeding Program. This packs contain a very healthy and nutritious ingredients of rice, lentils and many more. It is specially formulated for the malnourished kids.

After few hours of waiting, it's finally cooked and kids now can enjoy there meal. Some of the kids arrived late, few of them did not arrive but most of them are present. The lentils smells really good. We also put some chicken for it to be more pleasing to the kids.

We are very happy to see they enjoyed the meal. I hope and pray for the success of the program. That at the end of program, the kids would finally break malnutrition.

That's all for today folks. Thanks for reading. God bless.
