2.687 Meals Provided since May! Video Report

By Lucia Callizo | Project Leader

Since May, Fundación CONIN Paraguay has provided 2.687 meals. Thanks greatly to your support, we have reached our goal of enabling the recovery of 100 children monthly, with 100 kids participating in our program in May and 99 in June. On their weekly visits to our program, each child received three meals including a fortified breakfast, a midday snack, and a nutritious lunch. The process of recovery is an ongoing one, reason why we will continue to assist these kids, partly funded through your support, for an average of 18 months.

When asked about her experience at CONIN and her daughter’s nutritional status, Rocío, a 19 year old mom, shared with us the following words: “"When I got to CONIN, my daughter was 8 months old and severely malnourished. She was in need of urgent care and nutritional supplements but I was not able to afford them. I felt hopeless and afraid. Now, thanks to CONIN's support, I am receiving nutritional guidance and can understand how to assist my daughter. She is also receiving meals, supplements and pediatric and nutritional help. My daughter is healthy again. Her cheeks are rosy. Her eyes are shining. She smiles again."

This smile would not have been possible without your support, big or small. We take this opportunity to thank you as a donor and leave you with these videos, so you can take a sneak peak into the magical moments that make up lunchtime at CONIN and that you have helped make possible.

Desde Mayo, la Fundación CONIN Paraguay ha brindado 2.687 raciones de alimentos. Gracias a su apoyo y al de nuestros amigos colaboradores, hemos podido apoyar la recuperación de la desnutrición de 100 niños en mayo y 99 en junio. Durante sus visitas semanales a nuestros centros, cada beneficiario recibió tres raciones de alimentos, incluyendo un desayuno fortificado, una media mañana saludable y un almuerzo nutritivo. El proceso de recuperación es largo, por lo que seguiremos asistiendo a estos beneficiarios y trabajando a sus madres por un promedio de 18 meses más. 

Hablando de su experiencia en CONIN, Rocío, una madre de 19 años, nos cuenta: "Cuando llegué a CONIN, mi hija tenía 8 meses y estaba desnutrida. Necesitaba suplementos nutricionales y yo no podía acceder a los mismos. Sufría de preocupación por ella y sentía impotencia. Ahora, gracias al apoyo de CONIN, yo estoy recibiendo capacitación en nutrición y muchas otras cosas para criarle mejor a mi hija. Ella recibe todos los alimentos que necesita, los suplementos, atención del doctor y la nutricionista. Ahora mi hija esta creciendo fuerte y saludable. Ya le brillan sus ojos y sonríe."

La sonrisa de la hija de Rocío no sería posible sin su apoyo constante. Por ello, le agradecemos de corazón la confianza en nosotros y su colaboración. Compartimos con ustedes los videos en los links abajo, para que puedan vivir los momentos mágicos que ocurren en CONIN y ver la buena obra que hacen posible.
