This had been proven by the teachers who are usually teaching in public schools thus, many of them are doing their part to be able to contemplate to this common issue usually in Public School MALNUTRITION.
It is said that Malnutrition is the insufficient, excessive or imbalanced consumption of nutrients. A number of different nutrition disorders may arise, depending on which nutrients are under or overabundant in the diet.
The World Health Organization cites malnutrition as the gravest single threat to the world's public health. Improving nutrition is widely regarded as the most effective form of aid. Emergency measures include providing deficient micronutrients through fortified sachet powders, such as peanut butter, or directly through supplements. The famine relief model increasingly used by aid groups calls for giving cash or cash vouchers to the hungry to pay local farmers instead of buying food from donor countries, often required by law, as it wastes money on transport costs.

In our local setting here in Pangpang, we started to take a look a small group of pupils at the Pangpang Elem School composing of 60 severely malnourished children (as identified by the teacher catering this program) We started the Feeding Program with them on January and hopefully we can continue more in the next school year with the help of our kind hearted benefactors.
We shared the blessings we received , this may not be enough to our casa miani boys but we have to extend a little help to reach these children who may not have been provided with the proper nutrition a child should have . We have to do something to address the malnutrition problem in our own little way. This may not be a comprehensive action for now but we are slowly moving to come up to a more detailed program with the help of our benefactors for the best welfare of our children in need of our concern and sensitivity.
