At the beginning of February the foundation put on a nutrition fair in Amouli. Amouli is at the other side of the island, and is one of the areas hardest hit by the tsunami. The road to get there is not great, and since many people do not have cars, Amouli is not heavily trafficked. Having a health fair out there was a big deal! It was as if the circus had come to town. The school even sent all the middle-schoolers and their teachers for the morning so they could participate.
We had a great DJ who really had the kids out dancing up a storm. He talked about the importance of exercise, and how exercise can be fun!
The children got to play games, try different nutritious foods, and talk to the different vendors whose main goal was nutrition education.
That is so awesome!!!
