The Provincial Nutrition Council (PNC) of Bohol is leading a series of month-long activities and programs in celebration of the 50th Nutrition Month.
This year’s theme, “Sa PPAN Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat,” underscores the collective effort towards ensuring adequate nutrition for all.
To officially kick off the celebration, the New Provincial Capitol hosted participants from various provincial government agencies for a motorcade and Nutri-Zumba activity on July 3. These events set a vibrant tone for the month, emphasizing the importance of fitness and community engagement.
Central to this year’s observance is the PNC’s initiative to support malnourished and severely wasted children in the province through a donation drive. Donation booths have been set up at the Provincial Capitol Lobby to encourage contributions from the public. To further boost the visibility and impact of these efforts, the PNC has organized a series of activities promoting healthy eating habits and overall wellness.
Key events include a Diet Counseling session for individuals aged 55-65 on July 9, a Nutri-Quiz and Poster Making contest on July 12, and Nutri-Balak and Nutri-Dance activities on July 29, culminating in the Nutrition Month Closing Ceremony and Awarding. All activities will take place at the Provincial Capitol, making it a central hub for the month’s festivities.
Throughout July, the PNC will also distribute food packs and vegetable seeds to severely wasted children, providing them with much-needed nutrition and resources to promote healthy eating habits at home. (PIMO/NDF)
