The National Nutrition Council XII had once again blazed the conduct of Training of Trainers on Basic Course for Barangay Nutrition Scholars last August 9-12, 2016 at Sun City Suites, General Santos City. The training aimed and designed to assist new trainers in helping out BNSs to have common basic knowledge and skills as well as core values and traits that are necessary for them to perform their roles and functions effectively. The training will also provide another pool of trainers, which mainly targets newly designated or appointed Nutrition Action Officers and/or District/City Nutrition Program Coordinators that will later on serve as trainers and supervisors to the existing and new BNSs. A total of 25 participants were certified coming from the different areas of the region. The 4-day training include various training methods which consist of lectures, group discussion, role playing and group activities that made the sessions even more stimulating. 

New learnings were so much evident among the participants when they were able to grasp and get enlightened about their future roles through the three (3) credible resource persons who facilitated the 6 modules namely: Mrs. Leila S. Moscoso, RND- Professor from the University of Southern Mindanao, Ms. Ma. Ana Uy-Provincial Nutrition Action Officer of South Cotabato and Ms. Judith Janiola-City Nutrition Action Officer of General Santos City. Through this training, NNC is in full faith that it will going to be beneficial among BNSs aiming to upgrade their maximum potential as they carry out their responsibilities in the most effective way of delivering nutrition and related services. BY:DANAH PEARL G.
