If you want to put an end to malnutrition,
everybody has to be involved. This is an understatement of what has been
manifested by the residents of Barangay Mirangan, Siay. Indeed, the success of
Nutrition Month 2014 has been a community effort. The time and energy that the
residents dedicated for this culminating event has been overwhelming.
The Culminating event for
Nutrition Month 2014 is another installment of the cooking show conducted
during the 4th community exposure. This event is also known as NutriShow,
members from the community with great skills at cooking were invited to
showcase their talents at the said event. The event did not only teach the
people how to cook nutritious meals but also, encouraged them to have fun while
doing it. The show showcased two of the recipes that the Nutrition Council is
advocating. With the help from the members of the Women’s Association,
demonstration of the proper cooking technique without decreasing the
nutritional content was done, free tasting was done thereafter.
Midway through the event,
everybody was surprised with the emergence of the visitors from ADZU-SOM
together with our beloved dean Dr. Fortunato Cristobal and Hon. Emma Bagaforo.
The event was made extra fun because of their presence. The audience, medical
students and visitors gave surprise intermission numbers while waiting for the
food to cook. Once all the dishes were
cooked, the crowd was already eager to taste the sumptuous and healthy meal
prepared. Everybody took part in preparing the table, and meal was shared
between friends, families and the entire community.
There are sufficient resources
in the community to ensure that not a single child would suffer from
malnutrition. It is important to realize that we can make a progress against
malnutrition if we work hand in hand. This year’s Nutrition Month celebration is
a testimony that, together, we can make a stand against malnutrition.
"Sarap kaayo..Masustansya Pa!" says the ever dynamic members of Women's Association
