On 28th and 29th April, CHOICES staff, field supervisors, health centre staff, Operational District trainers, and Provincial Health Department trainers attended a nutrition training at the Operational District meeting hall. The focus of the training was to introduce a micronutrient supplement for young children (specially 6 to 23 months old) called Sprinkles, however the appropriate types of foods and serving sizes for children within this age group were also discussed.
A dish called
barbar kap kuep krueng, or 'pot rice', was highlighted as a way for mothers in the villages to introduce their children to solid foods. During the lunch break on the last day of training, participants practised how to prepare pot rice.
