Danao City – So that the revised Nutrition Guidelines for Filipinos can reach the grassroots, NNC 7 conducted a pilot NGF Mini-Lecture in four select barangays at the Nutrition Honor Awardee city, Danao City last 28 to 29 November.
NO II Dave F. Bargamento together FeBaNuSa 7 Inc. Treasurer Lucia C. Arellano conducted Promotional Classes regarding the 2012 Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos in Barangay Taytay, Barangay Taboc, Barangay Suba and Barangay Poblacion. These barangays were selected due to their accessibility and the absorptive capacity of the mothers to integrate the 10 NGF to their daily lives. A total of 71 mothers attended the sessions. The 10 NGF were discussed via lecture and learning was assessed though educational games.
To assess what mothers already know about living a healthy life, the lecture and workshop includes a game where participants are made to match ten photos depicting the 10 NGF with 10 NGF statements. After the game, a lecture is given where the 10 NGF are discussed and explained.
Another game is done to measure what mothers have learned. The game is answered with True or False. Participants are made to get a strip of paper from a box and answer if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, the participant is made to give the correct answer.
On the average, the mothers got nine out of the ten questions correctly.
NNC 7 aims to hold these kinds of lectures to other cities and municipalities for 2014 promoting the revised ten Nutrition Guidelines for Filipinos and Good Nutrition. //DFB
