No one learns effectively on an empty stomach!

16.10. is World Food Day: Together we can fight malnutrition!

795 million people go to bed hungry every night.  If the brain is not supplied with sufficient nutrients, then its entire development is affected. Together with the Greenfinity Foundation we fight malnutrition at the Philippines!

 

 

Who hasn't experienced a lapse in concentration mid afternoon?

For some people, this is an everyday reality, because they suffer from undernourishment. Undernourishment not only impairs concentration span and information retention.  If the brain is not supplied with sufficient nutrients, then its entire development is affected.  As a result, it's mostly children whose learning ability is compromised.  And, by extension, a successful school career is endangered. 

It's not just plants that require sufficient nutrients in order to be able to develop properly. 

Empty tummy, empty head.

If the brain is not supplied with sufficient nutrients, then its entire development is affected.  The ability to learn is therefore compromised. And, by extension, a successful school career is endangered. 

795 million people go to bed hungry every night. 

Undernourishment is also a big problem in the Philippines. 115 of the 450 school children, attending San Roque Elementary School, are undernourished. In order to aid the development of these undernourished children and thereby ensure their successful school career, we started a cooperative project with the Greenfinity Foundation.

A gardening project in the Philippines to support children's healthy growth and development.

An organic school garden has been set up and is tended by the students and teachers. The gardening has become far more than just a part of everyday school life. As well as the children, people from the community can also join gardening workshops and learn how to grow, cultivate and harvest organic fruit and vegetables.

A hot meal every day.

The garden produce provides the food for the school canteen and enables them to provide the undernourished children with one hot meal a day.
