107 Kids from the Los Micos Rural Center
in Colombia having fun while learning about eating properly and about healthy lifestyles through the “Nutresa Quiere a los Niños” (Nutresa cares for children) program.
One hundred and seven children from the Los Micos Rural Education Center in Titiribí, Colombia, solidify their values and learn to eat properly. They strengthen their minds and bodies and, through relevant, simple and assertive messages, project what they want while they grow up.
By studying the booklet created as part of Grupo Nutresa’s healthy lifestyles promotion strategy, the kids have fun while learning about healthy eating habits, hygiene practices and physical activity with drawings, stage plays, classroom exercises, games and sports practices.
This process transcends classrooms and, with the support from teachers and parents, it enables the adoption of healthy lifestyles.
This program inspires us to take care of what we have, to eat properly and to exercise for improving physically and mentally. It consists in very special activities both at home and at school that have a deep positive impact on the future of our children.”
