Eat, play, learn.

A workshop on healthy nutrition will be held on Sunday which will include a lecture with power point presentation, small leaflets on eating healthy food will be distributed and afterwards a degustation of healthy food and drinks will follow. The meals and beverages from freshly squeezed fruits will be distributed among the most malnourished children, who live near NWC, approximately some 20 of them. The aim of this workshop is to raise awareness on healthy nutrition, especially make mothers aware that their children need more healthy food every day. The problem here is that a lot of healthy food loses its value in the preparation process, since they prefer to soak everything in oil and fat, rather than cooking food without oil or even boiling it in water with limited usage of salt. We've also noticed that local cuisine includes too much carbohydrate per day. We will try to introduce them to a better way of preparing food and present the long-term risks if they do not change their cooking style soon.

For children from the neighbourhood we organized one event, where we sang and danced to children songs and they taught us their traditional dancing moves, it was very amusing. Even today when we pass some children on the street they start dancing in front of us, regardless there is no accompanying music. We are going to organize a couple of more events for them, where they can be creative in drawing, colouring and playing.

At the beginning of our computer classes Nina and I tested their skills in Microsoft Office Word, which were very good. That is why we decided to concentrate more on Microsoft Office PowerPoint as they can sometimes prepare presentations for NWC visitors, which will be quite helpful for the NWC president. We divided them in two groups because we only have two computers available and each group made a short ppt about Rwanda, including basic facts and pictures and each student made at least one slide.
