| Impact Report | More communities have become aware of the rising rates of obesity among our youth and adult population. The educators from the FACE program affiliated with the BIE (Bureau of Indian Education) have included an adult program with their pre school. Parents and care givers are required to attend daily classes during the same hours that their children are at school. Many of them have included the ICAN programs for these parents. This year 15 parents from the Wingate BIE FACE program completed “Loving Your Family Feeding Their Future”, 23 Chichiltah parents and 20 adults from the Basin Coordinated completed 9 ICAN lessons and received their certificates. Other community programs that reach community members are ECHO and the Gallup Community Pantry, they distribute about 650 food boxes each month to their clientele and CES includes nutrition information in the form of a weekly flyer for each household. Activities,programs,and nutrition information can help educate the public on these issues,but the results are slow and as we continue to strive for a healthier county more people need to join in the challenge to live healthier lives. |
