Nutrition Support for Malnourished Infants

The Clinica Maxeña recently began a Nutrition Support for Malnourished Infants and also Infants in our Nutrition Program of Pastoral Health; first infancy. We developed an agricultural project with 34 chickens that lay one organic egg daily. Each month each child in the program receives 8 eggs.  The mothers of the children come to a monthly meeting to receive the eggs. Sometimes the meetings are in their community and sometimes in the Clinic Meeting room.  The babies weight and health care is monitored by the Clinic Workers who are leaders in these health programs.  Pastoral Health for Infants is a National Diocese Health project.  The Nutrition Project is part of our Regular Preventive Program for Infants. Magali, Nurse Director, with the assist of another Clinic Worker, Felícita receive on going classes and meetings at  the Diocese Health Project.  The different communities also have regular meetings with the women who participate. Your contributions help us support these two important Health programs for infants. Thank You for your financial donations.
