Dettagli del programma

A critical objective is to educate Filipinos on the need to cut back on the amount of sugar and salt they use in their local diet, and to increase consumption of vegetables. There is little public education on these needs.

To this end, VFV created its Public Nutrition Project with the ongoing goal being to alter Filipino attitudes towards food whilst at the same time addressing the issues of undernourishment amongst local community pre-school children.

You will work with VFV’s Community Feeding Project, planning, budgeting and providing supplementary feeding menu’s for the daily feeding of up to 35 preschool children. At the same time, you will work closely with local mothers to educate them on the importance of nutrition and to investigate and implement long term solutions to combat hunger and food security. Such methods might include investigating the possibility and effectiveness of organizing local community feeding kitchens and implementing plans for communities to become self-sustainable.

You will be staying in a local community area of Tacloban City. A homestay will be assigned to you once you confirmed your trip.
