I have been really lucky to understand the importance of what it truly means to give back a little to our society and help those who are not as fortunate as you and me. The feeling of doing your bit without expecting anything in return cannot be compared to anything else and with all of us pitching in, is exactly how our nation will progress. It is true that united we stand but it is very important to be united while understanding the need of the hour. That is the right nutrition and healthy upbringing of the kids of our country. I know many of you would think that this is a small thing to be considered and people can just donate food. But what’s important here is to explain all about the nutritional benefits and healthy habits to the kids themselves right from a young age, so that they take these thoughts home with them and value for life. No one should have to be dependent on anybody else to know what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. Unluckily many schools do not make this a part of their curriculum.
It honestly makes me so much happy to see few brands come out in the support of the importance of nutritional benefits for healthy kids. One brand that has been regularly supporting the young kids to attain their end goals in life is Nestle and their Nestle Healthy Kids Programme is a perfect example of what they believe in. The Nestle Healthy Kids Programme has been specially introduced with the goal of providing nutrition education to adolescents.
They constantly strive towards raising and spreading awareness about the importance of good nutritional practices and cooking methods that are necessary for the overall physical well being of the kids. Nestle decided to bring this information to all the kids of our country who cannot afford schools, are less fortunate and are forced to either start earning at a young age or are married off. With their Nestle Healthy Kids Programme, they combined this learning and important life lessons for the kids through a unique mix of physical activities and games. Through each game and activity, they are questioned about the importance of what goes into the physical well being and over all development is ensured.
They are taught the importance of the value of nutrition and healthy habits through this unique Nestle Healthy Kids Programme. After all, Nestle understands the value of educating the kids of our nation to ensure they lead a healthy, happy and a secured life with equal job opportunities and also prepare them for a real life ahead. I was so happy to be a part of this programme couple of days back, along with many employees of Nestle where we joined the kids from Magic Bus as a part of the Nestle Healthy Kids Programme.
From 2014, Nestle joined hands with Magic Bus India Foundation under the Nestle Healthy Kids Global Programme that works towards providing nutrition and health awareness to kids across the nation. Since 2014, they have covered 50,000 students in 5 metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. After being a part of this entire activity for a day, what I personally liked the most about this was the curriculum created by them which is in sync with the (S4D) Sports For Development approach that includes complete nutritional knowledge, health and overall development of the child on the playground through fun activities.
I can’t wait to be a part of this activity yet again because the warmth and joy that we share with each other, especially with these strong willed kids is incomparable. Thank You team Nestle India, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Nestle Healthy Kids Programme.
