Children in Colombia, South America face many of the same food issues as in other parts of the world: the dual problems of food insecurity and obesity. With over 30 years of experience, the Nutrir Barranquilla Foundation has worked to battle malnutrition through food and nutritional education programs for underprivileged mothers and children.
Interestingly – and must note – it has also partnered with Nestle to conduct some of its programs.

With a flair for spontaneity, pizzazz, creative excellence and her own unique sense of aesthetic grace and perspective, we have our very dear friend, Belinda (or B, to some of us). Although an incredibly accomplished professional and career woman, B’s down-to-earth approach and demeanor transcends all scenarios, communities and people. She manifests, in her day-to-day, the essence of the word “Zomppa” as demonstrated by her extraordinary commitment to creating sustainable and positive change for us and future generations to come. She’s asked for a dog every year since she was five. Check out Belinda’s work on global education research and coaching: www.hummingbirdrcc.com or more about her portfolio www.belindachiu.com.

I took a couple of minutes to check out their site. It loaded a bit slowly but looks like they do some fantastic work. Interesting about the connection to Nestle, the programs seem worthwhile though.
