Its beginning to become that time again, my hearts yearning for adventure, a wicked case of wanderlust. I've been looking into internships in the Philippines, as well as Vietnam. The Nutrition and Midwifery programs are only in Philippines, so it would be more likely for me to get started there. The most probable time would be next year, summer of 2013. The percentage of malnourished Filipinos, especially children, is shocking. 31% of Filipino children are undernourished. They aren't getting enough energy throughout the year which leads to child mortality. There are also nutritional programs that are making sure pregnant women are getting their much needed iron intake. They are moving on to long-term strategies: increasing vegetable gardening and consumption in the Philippines. heerree we go!
