These are some photos from the Nutrition Village. Most of the patients come to see us with their mothers but sometimes they come with the fathers or aunts or another relative too. The little boy, John, below comes with Father, Isaiah, and he gets to ride on the back of the bicycle. His father has an injury to this leg so using the bicycle is easier for him to get around. Isaiah has 7 other children and is very loving and kind with his son. John is usually very quiet, hardly speaks one word around me. Now after 4 weeks he has started to crack a little smile when I hand him a package of Plumpy Nut to eat while we interview his father. They are a wonderful family just like so many others we see here at the Nutrition Village.
Our Nutrition Assistant, Esso, is teaching one of the pregnant mothers about the importance of breastfeeding exclusively for the first 6 months.
