Nutritional Ward
Due to the increasing number of children who die
annually from malnutrition and related causes in
Guatemala, Misioneros Del Camino opened a
nutritional ward for malnourished children. Here
the children can spend three to six months until
they recover nutritionally. After recovering,
these children are returned to their families. A
follow-up program is established as well as
nutritional training to their parents. The only
way these children can stay healthy is teaching
their mothers how to best feed their children
with the resources available to them. There is
much poverty in Guatemala but many deaths are
caused by ignorance.
