A hungry kid will not listen. First you feed them then you teach them. We target the malnourished with a strategy that has worked for the last few years. Each child that comes to the center is weighed and measured, if their statistics do not match their age requirements they are placed in the nutrition program. One of our teachers is in charge of nutrition and health care. In partnership with a local Honduran pediatrician we will supervise the child's progress through out the year.
Part of our care is a daily lunch program. Our staff cooks healthy meals in our kitchen and delivers the vittles Monday through Friday. At the present moment we have close to fifty children participating. We expect that this number will grow through out the year. In some cases we will buy their families a month's worth of basic staples to supplement what we do in house.
We would like to beef up the meals and extend the program to kids who suffer from marginal nutritional issues. To do so we need to raise 6,500 dollars for this need. One hundred percent of your targeted donations will go to meet this challenge.
