MALNUTRITION
On
another project, we targeted the younger population of the village of Goin,
addressing the need for more intense actions to be done with regards to the
rising incidence of malnutrition.
Because
of this, we sought and undivided attention of the mothers and fathers of the
community. A seminar was conducted on October 8 at the Covered Court, Barangay
Hall with the theme, “Pagkain Mo, Nutrisyon Mo.” The GOINnovate team requested
the help of Doctor Ma. Lourdes Langco, the Municipal Nutrition Officer of
Liloy, as resource speaker for the activity.
The
seminar focused on the following aspects:
·
Nutritious
food for a well-balanced meal;
·
Breastfeeding;
·
Malnutrition:
Effect and Management;
·
Benefits
of Backyard Gardening;
·
Proper
Food Preparation
Boxes of VitaMix
supplements for 0-71 month-old kids were also dispensed.
To provide more
options for nutritious, well-balanced, and affordable meals, the team conducted
a Cooking Show on the 5th of October, introducing a new and original
recipe by team member Aundreaux Vladimir Y. Navarro. Project heads, Nikki and
Ruby, with the help of Roxanne D. Reyes, spearheaded the activity and
demonstrated the cooking process of Squash Patty and Kalabasa Fries. Leaflets
of the recipe and its nutritional values were distributed among the parents
present during the show.
The recipes were
well-like by the parents and the children. Many provided good feedback
regarding the recipes, and the Daycare started including Squash Patty and
Kalabasa Fries in their menu for the young children of Goin.
