Together with Tierranuestra Foundation Nestle Paraguay have developed each year a different material about Nutrition, Health and Wellness to teach children in rural schools. The objective is that children learn about the subject while playing. The material is not only distributed but we have put in place a whole system where it is delivered school by school together with specific and personal training to the teachers on how to use it and make the most out of it.

The Educational Materials has been very well received and we already see the progress. Children not only start to know about the subject but became involved and took conscience about the nutritional necessities. Those materials are the result of a team work conformed by Nutritionists, our Wellnes Champion, a Designer, Professional School Teachers, a Pedagogic Consultant, a Script, a Photographer and representatives of Tierranuestra.

All of them have been approved and supported by the Paraguayan Ministry of Education. Follow you can see a brief material description:

2004 - Alimentos y algo más… : A school game called 'Food and something more' where children can play while learning about all nutritional elements (vitamins, fat, fiber etc… ) and their characteristics.

2005 - Por una alimentación para crecer sanos : A pedagogic material for teachers called 'Looking for a good nutrition to grow healthy'. A stand alone material that the teacher uses in front of a classroom based on images, questions and answers on Nutrition, Health and Wellness.

2006 - Recetas audaces para cocineros capaces : It is called 'Audacious recipes for capable cooks' and includes 2 games and 29 alternative recipes. The most important aspect is that all recipes are non traditional and specially developed for the local conditions of the communities where the schools are located. Those communities have an extremely limited income per capita, hence our objective was to create recipes that will allow them to spend the same amount of money that they normally spend, but to prepare a nutritious and different dish. And even more, some of the ingredients can be easily and locally found but not commonly used. For example: Average nutrition in those communities is too much based on manioc, we propose recipes with ingredients as cheap as manioc but more nutritious and offering more variety for a balanced diet such as beans, carrots, herbs, banana, beet, spinach, pumpkin. With such ingredients, we developed original recipes like 'Pumpkin Seeds Bread', 'Beans Burger', 'Spinach Dumplings', 'Banana marmalade' etc… You can try, we really recommend them!

2007 – Recetas saludables a lo Paraguay: Paraguayan Healthy meal time, is  a school game that contain traditional recipes maked with healthy ingredients. This material approaches the gastronomy, culture, traditions, customs and nutritious habits
