Brain development needs special materials to run properly: glucose, vitamins, minerals and other essential chemicals. If this complete menu is not delivered on time, brain and the central nervous system are exposed to high danger. Local community remains fully committed to this problem and we continue working with Conin Pilar, the Child Undernourishment Prevention and Human Promotion Center that is part of the “Red Conin” and follows its methodology to address the problem. Its aim is to take care of the attention, education and assistance of children between 0 to 5 years old with nutritional and social risk. We also work with pregnant women at risk of giving low birth weight children.
During this period, we could observe positive changes in the children´s physical and mental development and in nutritional habits. Also we could identify changes in families under program.
We have done several activities: family interviews in order to address their needs; workshops on integral stimulation including mothers, their babies and children between 2 to 5; health workshops; yoga workshops; gym lessons and more. This could help us give attention to more than 90 children and many families in nutrition, pediatrics, stimulation, psychology, etc.
Thanks a lot for your help! Now 30 children can have a better life!!!!
We could do a lot but we still need your help!
