Support and Provide Overseas Orphan Nutrition (SPOON) is an awesome foundation started by some Kaz adoptive mamas who decided to do something about orphan malnutrition in Kazakhstan. They just started a new vitamin and menu pilot program in a few Kaz baby houses and Sasha's baby house, Botakoz, is one of the baby houses in the study. Hooray!
SPOON just posted these sweet pictures of breakfast time in one of the rooms of Botakoz – the boxes in the center of the table are the new vitamins that the kiddos are getting.SPOON is a fantastic organization doing life-changing work on behalf of the children of Kazakhstan and beyond. That’s why we chose them as the recipient of all funds raised by ads on our blog - almost $100 so far! :)
Here are some great resources SPOON has made available:
- SPOON’s Facebook page (with more photos of Botakoz!)
- The SPOON website
- The Adoption Nutrition website, which reviews some of the effects of childhood malnutrition, gives country-by-country nutrition reports, and is chock full of ideas for adoptive parents on how to help their kiddos
- Food for Thought webinar on Adoption Learning Partners – a live webinar on 10/20 about the impacts of poor nutrition on internationally adopted children
