Healthcare to HIV/AIDS Infected & Affected Orphans

Organic fruits and vegetables have acquired a lot of attention and importance in the past few years. We too realize the importance of organic food; hence we came up with a plan of setting up a vegetable garden. After a period of one year we have beautiful vegetable garden with variety of vegetables and fruits growing in the same.

Positive signs were visible on the health of the children because of the intake of vegetables and fruits from their very own garden,. They have gained weight and the sickness rate has dropped down. The CD4 count has increased and stable for the past few months.

Because of the vegetable garden children are getting to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, they are also getting an opportunity to work in the garden which makes them stay close to the nature. They have become more caring and want to water and maintain the garden. They like to spend time plucking the ready to harvest vegetables and fruits and this brings immense joy on their faces. They have also developed a liking for those vegetables that they would not eat earlier.

As mentioned in the title, "Diet cures more than Doctor"stands very true in the case of our children who are infected with HIV/AIDS. Proper balanced diet of organic vegetables, fruits and non-vegetarian food has helped immensely to the children and they are more happy and healthy.
