The nutrition of our school-age children forms the foundation of the population’s health in the future. A well-nourished child has been characterized as someone who has the capacity to attain proper brain development, manifests good appetite and good health, and has the ability to be attentive. These traits would enable the child to perform well academically.
The absence of essential nutrients in the child’s diet would make the child prone to sickness thus making him less productive in school. Undernutrition, one of the nutrition problems of school-age children would lead to poor mental and physical development and weak immune system thereby making the child susceptible to infections. Iodine deficiency disorder results to reduced intelligence and psychomotor retardation. Iron deficiency anemia results to decreased social responsiveness and low level of overall intellectual development.
GULAYAN SA PAARALAN
Gulayan helps address malnutrition
The problem of malnutrition among school children may be addressed by the Gulayan sa Paaralan project which serves as the main source of commodities to sustain supplementary feeding. This project raises public awareness that the schools are also the best venue to disseminate information to children on the importance of producing and eating vegetables. Organic gardening is a technique in planting vegetables without the use of any chemicals or synthetics. The objective is to produce crops which have the highest nutritional values with least impact on nature. Many studies reveal that pupils who are poorly nourished have a hard time focusing on their lessons in their classes and they resort to absenteeism or dropping out of the rolls. Gulayan sa paaralan is really helpful to our students.
