Little by Little- Tahanan

This is a report on the medical and nutritional program of the kids in Tahanan ng Pagmamahal from June to August of this year 2021.

The donations you have given us enabled us to buy Vitamin C to boost and strengthen the immune system of the forty-one (41) kids in Tahanan. We also bought multivitamins to increase their appetite thereby improving their body weight and nutritional status.

We bought anti-nausea, cough and cold medicine as well as antihistamines for those who had rashes and fever medication for twenty-eight (28)children who were afflicted with those illnesses. One child is currently in isolation for showing COVID symptoms. He tested negative for COVID. However, he will finish the isolation period until all his symptoms clear out.

Balanced meals of meat, vegetables and carbohydrates were given to forty-one (41) children. Special milk addressing Lactose intolerance and Allergies to Cow’s Milk Protein were purchased as well.

Thefoster parents and staff of Tahanan ng Pagmamahal underwent an outreach program by the Philippine Association of Nutrition early August (prior to the ECQ lockdown). The program was specifically tailored to impart feeding guidelines during the first 1000 Days of a child.Part of the program included various recipes to complement what the kids are already enjoying in Tahanan ng Pagmamahal.

The Covid pandemic has made it extra challenging for everyone to live normally and comfortably. It is with heartfelt gratitude that we write this report - that your untiring support in these challenging times have truly helped us in giving the kids what they medically and nutritionally need. Thank you for your generosity and support. God bless you.
