Early winners announced in our nutrition competition!

Much congratulations to Greg Tulley from the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation in Nepal and Henry Osadolor from the Centre for Community Development in Nigeria for winning the coveted Early Entry Prize in our nutrition competition! It was a hard choice with many good entries, but Greg and Henry's were among the most innovative.

Greg brings to us Nutritional Rehabilitation Homes in Nepal, which nurse children back to health while mothers are educuated on nutrition and armed with the tools to tell others.

Henry champions the use of a Moringga plant, a rich source of nutrients. By teaching people in Nigeria how to plant and use the leaves, he diversifies the local diet, typically dependent on low-nutrient cassava.

The competition isn't over yet! You still have until November 25 to enter to win the grand prize of $5000. We also have a bunch of really interesting and innovative ideas to read about, such as:

“NEER DAAN”----Safe drinking water for poor school children.

Save-a-Life Cooking Stoves

Healthy Kids, Healthy Forests: Native rainforest food for school lunches improves child health while motivating reforestation

Modernizing the molasses industry in Upper Egypt

Three cheers for better nutrition!
