Paulo is just over 6 months and he has been diagnosed moderately malnourished. His 14-year-old sister Ngueve took him to World Vision’s nutrition screening. She says: I took Paulo to the nutrition screening, where I learned many things. We were told that there are many diseases related to nutrition and that, if a child doesn’t eat right, it can get very sick. I was told that Paulo should only be breastfed. We also learned about water and that a child should never drink water that has not been boiled before or treated with tablets. We should not drink it straight from the well. I learned that Paulo should be fed twice a day.   It was difficult seeing Paulo cry for many days. He had a fever and was not doing well. He is still crying, but we have medicine (plumpy nut) for him now and I know he will get better. I’m very relieved.
