FRIEND RAISING AND FUND RAISING

ISSUE 51, APRIL—JUNE 2014

Armaan, was one of the 4881 children reached

in last quarter. Weighed 5.5 kgs in 20 months

and was severely malnourished. Initially, the

child was linked to GTB hospital, for checkup

and medication; however, the situation did not

improve substantially. Mobile Creches staff

suggested the family to take care of the child

and feed him with special diet like Daliya, Khi-

chdi, Sooji ka Kheer, boiled egg etc. Mean-

while, Mobile Creches contacted Nutritional

Rehabilitation Centers at Hindu Rao hospital to

get special attention for curbing the malnutri-

tion. He was admitted and received proper

diet, medicines and massage. With the inter-

vention, child’s weight has improved to 9.5 Kgs

and he is leading a normal healthy life.

At Mobile Creches, we experience everyday

the national shame of malnutrition in India.

Balanced diet is fundamen-tal for a healthy human being, especially for the proper development of children.
