Nutrition Education

Students listening attentively as a nutritionist discusses the importance of the six foods groups in the diet

Nestlé collaborates with Blue Cross of Jamaica’s Schools’ Wellness Club to promote nutrition education in primary and secondary schools across the island.

 

The 2007,  “Nutritious Foods, Lifestyle and Wellness” Culinary Competition was staged in May,  child’s month and was highly successful as a record number of schools and children participated. Last year’s objective was to educate students, on the importance of nutrition in averting some lifestyles related diseases.

 

In 2009, Nestle will once again partner with the Blue Cross of Jamaica’s, Schools’ Wellness Club, where the theme will be on “Take a Hi-5 for Life”.
