The Covid-19 pandemic is almost over. Once in a while, when cases of Covid rose – the students were required to study from home, so we were unable to provide breakfast for the children at school. Instead, we provided breakfast for the children at BCC Hub. When Covid cases declined – the students went back to school, so we were able to provide breakfast for the children at school again.
Our volunteers, together with medical officers, also held health checks and provided vitamins and medicine to 104 children from SDN 1 Besakih Karangasem. On this occasion, the children were also given education about nutrition and health. The children were also entertained with various games, invited to sing, and participate in coloring competitions with various attractive prizes.
Overall, despite the challenges and disruptions of Covid-19, we’ve been able to provide healthy sustenance to underprivileged children in East Bali as well as provide valuable education about nutrition to these same children so that they can feel empowered to take charge of their health moving forward. The simple value of nutritious meals and nutrition education has far-reaching implications across the community. Since children have improved energy levels and overall nutrition, they are better able to assist their families and succeed in school, and therefore, contribute to a better society in the long-term.
The following are testimonials and thank-you note we received from the children and their teachers for the given assistance.
