Angel, at just 11 years old, is helping<br />
families in her South Central<br />
Mindanao to live healthier lives.<br />
Wearing her distinctive read ‘Bulilit’<br />
(which means ‘little’ in Tagalog) vest,<br />
she is teaching other children, their<br />
siblings and parents about healthy<br />
eating and hygiene.<br />
It’s all part of taking our School<br />
Health and Nutrition program out<br />
into the community and it’s working.<br />
In the areas where children like<br />
Angel volunteer to spread the word,<br />
we see fewer parasitic infections,<br />
less school absenteeism and better<br />
overall health and nutrition.<br />
