SONIA ORALIA LÓPEZ DE LEÓN, HOUSEWIFE
SEVERE MALNOURISHMENT
God bless FUNDAP, mi granddaughter will be fine
“My name is Sonia Oralia López de León and I live in a small village called El Manantial, Flores Costa Cuca, Quetzaltenango, where I work doing housekeeping.
Due to economic difficulties, my youngest daughter was forced to move to the capital city in search of a job. She had to leave her three children in our care, including her little baby.
“the baby was
severely malnourished“
In April, when the baby was 6 months old, we went to the Health Center and they advised me to join the Nutritional Recovery Project of FUNDAP. On the first visit, they told me the baby was severely malnourished, as she weighed 10 pounds and measured 54 centimeters. they could help me by giving me supplements to improve her weight, but I had to enhance my hygiene and care habits.
In the following controls, we had better results and the baby gained weight.
I learned a lot and about different subjects during my training. In the last control, the girl weighed 16 pounds and measured 65 centimeters. That was a great improvement and I am sure it will help her in her future!”
