SUMMARY OF
TALK
This
very informative talk was well received and held the attention of all
Rotarians. The most critical age for children is two. Without
vitamins, nutrients and enough food, children can have stunted
growth, early blindness, lower IQ and even death. Most only
get a good meal at lunch at school. Vijaya projected on our screen
world hunger maps, especially in India as well as Honduras and other
parts of Central America. She spoke of successful food solutions to
reduce malnutrition and hunger. Knowledge by school staffs can help.
Hidden hunger of millions of people world wide exists.
This
Friday, tomorrow, the speaker will be Vivian Holmes on How to Retain
Your Hearing.
