Azélia Cuna is one of the
girls attending the HIV Day Care Centre. She’s 10 years old and she’s a hard working
student and very dedicated to the Centre. The picture on the left was taken
during the ALG’s Board visit in April this year. The one on the right was taken
only one month later when our Local Partner and Technician Orcídio informed us
that Azélia was a successful case at the Day Care Centre. Usually, in the
beginning of the school year in Mozambique (February) children arrive at school
with weak nutritional values, after a break in classes of over 2 months (less
for children attending the Day Care Centre). Thus, as soon as they start
attending classes e benefiting from the daily meals at school the children
quickly improve, gaining back the lost weight and becoming healthier. Thus,
within a month the differences are remarkable! During the first quarter Azélia
had no negative results and her average is 12; an improvement comparatively to
her results last year. So we are very proud of this girl who, thanks to the HIV
Day Care Centre, is benefiting from a carefully balanced nutrition and medical
monitoring.
You can also help: with £73 per month you are securing a healthy
childhood for children like Azélia instead of letting them follow the tragic
fate of thousands of children infected with HIV in Mozambique!
