Lions Club of Galupura Central contacted an awareness programme with guidance from Ahangama MOH for 25 expected mothers from rural areas of Pellessa. This was mainly conducted to support rural mothers to be aware of the balance nutrient food they can find from village and the value of having fruits and vegetables from their home gardens. They were encouraged to grow their own fruits and to find the fruits from the village rather buying imported fruits with preservatives.
They were engaged in a group activity to identify the three main nutrients in a meal and what fruits, vegetables and meat will supply these nutrients to our body.
Lion Chandrani, Lion Chandrika, Lion Dr Alahakoon, Lion Chamil, Lion Thanuja attended the project. We started the project at 10.00am and ended at 1.00pm.
