Operation Timbang Plus at Sitio Sugod, Brgy Sapad
Operation Timbang Plus (OPT), which was recently conducted in Sitio Sugod, a coastal area of Barangay Sapad, was an impressive team effort to improve the community's diet and health. However, there were a number of particular difficulties along the way to this target location.
Team members had to carry heavy equipment, like the wooden height board needed to measure the children's growth, while hiking great distances, traveling by pump boat at high tide, and cautiously crossing the waters at low tide in order to do this crucial task. Although these circumstances were difficult, the team's perseverance and commitment won out.
Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), Barangay Health Workers (BHW), and the knowledgeable nutritionists and dietitians from Matanog formed a solid relationship that enabled the event to be a success. The diligence and perseverance made sure that all of the community's children got the care they required for nutritional evaluations and development tracking.
The local children were also given access to a deworming program. After being given a thorough explanation of the procedure, the women in Sitio Sugod enthusiastically recognized the program as an essential step in enhancing the health of their kids.
Even in the face of physical obstacles, this exercise demonstrates the strength of community solidarity and teamwork. The cooperation of these fervent organizations continues to enhance the health and welfare of our coastal communities in spite of the challenges.
