WK2 Blog Assignment
Public Health
I chose to explore Nutrition and Malnutrition of the
Garifuna people. I chose this topic because I hate to see children with-out
enough food to eat, and some with-out any food at all. I have a book by the
name of Windows on the World which is filled with information on all the
countries, their people, and culture and their living conditions. This is a
group of people rarely talked about, and their story is very interesting. The
Garifuna people are located in South America along the Atlantic coast of
Belize, Honduras, and Guatemala, and Nicaragua. They are people with poor
sanitary conditions and lacking clinical establishments for better health. 78%
of the children aged 12 and under suffers from malnutrition, and sadly,
3children out of 10 of them will die before reaching age 2. In my future work,
I will always be open to having my students write letters to young students who
live in other countries as we study the countries and develop pen-pal friendships.
