NUTRITION ADVOCACY "LET US UNITE AND FIGHT!"

Last  December 17, 2011 at 12:00am. It was a very unexpected horrible moment to all Cagayanos who suffered the typhoon sendong and we witnessed how the typhoon destructed the part of the city of Cagayan de Oro.

It was then the sun rises as if everything turns into normal never know that many people cried and asking some help to those people who are also suffered despair, but no one came to help because everybody was also busy rescuing their own families, relatives or even friends. Indeed, a thousands of people died and missing and a lot of  people losses their houses and love ones and many innocent children survived yet, all they could have is nothing but pain and sorrow.

 The Bachelor of Science nutrition and dietetic  united as one to promote program feeding to all youth who has a malnutrition problems and as well as for children who losses their weight because of some food that contains less of nutrients. We also want to provide lectures to  all lactating mothers to continue breastfeed for infants for them to avoid infections.  Especially, we also wanted to conduct seminar to promote food low cost food that contains high nutrient density as they could sustain their weight maintenance. 

As a nutrition student, in other way we can also provide nutrition counseling for children as we could monitor their nutritional status .dietary management for elders who suffered difficulties in chewing or have a dental problems we can help them to utilize leftovers and make it soft according to their needs.

 As a student we are not only focusing only about foods,  but we are also concerns in health nutrition in community like cleaning their areas to avoid dengue and bacteria that can cause illness, proper hygiene and influence them to sanitize their selves , because cleanliness is next to godliness. More over we can give them clothes with go glow and grow for them to remember nutrition education.

               “ helping is the only thing we can do for Cagayan de Oro city”

                     So “ let us stand and fight for God never leaves us”
