Since research shows that the development of many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cancer begins in childhood, it is extremely important that children/students develop healthy eating habits during their formative years.
The chief facilitator for these meetings will be Dr. Mary Murimi from the Louisiana State University. Dr. Murime has been involved in Nutrition programmes for schools for many years.
