Nutrition Month Celebration

 

DepEd celebrates Nutrition month, this July, with  the participation of all schools (private and public) nationwide. This year, the theme for the nutrition month is "Gutom at malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan". 

Objectives of the 2013 Nutrition Month Celebration    

a) increase awareness on hunger issues and actions to mitigate hunger and malnutrition; 

b) encourage stakeholders to contribute in addressing hunger issues; and 

c) advocate for stronger political action to end hunger.

Poverty is the raging problem experienced by Filipinos. It brings a more serious obstacle for us to handle. It is famine which also leads to malnutrition . 

Financial problem is the number one cause by which people do not get enough food they need. Indolence, lack of job and knowledge, and unawareness are the main causes of poverty. So, for us to be able to solve the problem on malnutrition we need to get rid of the root of all these problems - poverty.

Everyone should be more diligent to attain higher standards of living. Also, the government should pay more attention and put more actions about the financial issues the country faces.

After solving the issue on poverty, the last thing needed is to be aware. 

Young as we are, we can help solve the problem on malnutrition with awareness. With this, we can encourage and inform other people regarding issues about health. So, let's all help end malnutrition progressively :)
