Nutrition Month Celebration..!!

                                    

Gutom at Malnutrisyon, 

 Sama-sama Nating Wakasan.  

                         Yearly, in the month of July, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) leads the whole nation in the celebration of 2013 Nutrition Month, purposely to disseminate nutrition message to all Filipinos through a focal theme. The Nutrition Month theme for 2013 is “Gutom at malnutrisyon, sama-sama nating wakasan!” This is to raise awareness on the need for more action in addressing hunger as part of the Philippine’s commitment to the United Nations Millennium Development Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
         
             To support this developmental endeavor of the nutrition community, Ilocos Sur National High School celebrated the nutrition month. School head, teachers, parents and students are participated actively by undertaking meaningful activities which will highlight the importance of good health and nutrition. The objectives of this year’s celebration are as follows: first is to increase awareness on hunger issues and actions to mitigate hunger and malnutrition; to encourage stakeholders to contribute in addressing hunger issues; and last is to advocate for stronger political action to end hunger.

           

           To diminish hunger, it is recommended that every family should plant root crops, fruit bearing trees and vegetables in their backyards or any available space beyond their land property, for it will be of great help in conducting feeding program among those children who are severely wasted in status, it is for them also to be physically and mentally alert in every activities and could easily to adopt with their society.
