We love being able to work alongside community influencers, who are changing the nutrition landscape in Sweetwaters as they transfer their passion and skills to so many others."Children need to eat well if they want to learn," emphasises Gretta, one of these influencers. “And we have soil here!” Thanks to her, Walter, and dedicated volunteers, the preschool children enjoy fresh vegetables daily, straight from the garden. Spinach, peppers, potatoes, onions, and even fruits like granadillas and peaches. Gretta proudly shows off the banana tree, which was a gift from a parent, years ago. “Plant it! See what happens!” he told her. What happened is that the kids eat bananas from the tree, year after year.
Inspiring?
You bet!
