AUNT PORRIDGE VISITS THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST BY LATTER-DAY

We had a great and fulfilling time at the church of Jesus Christ by Latter-day Saints in Ntinda and Kabowa on Friday, April 26 and Saturday 27 April, respectively. The church administration educated their communities about good nutrition. They said had looked around for good nutrition examples and consulted widely before choosing Aunt Porridge as their most recommended product.

We were not surprised. We are used to being preferred and we thank everybody who has noticed our value. We arrived in good spirit and offered cooking lessons to the mothers in the community. We also taught them what Aunt Porridge can do.

The Church gave more than 200 mothers in central Kampala Aunt Porridge products as part of their yearly initiative to end malnutrition among children.

Sylvia Namuyomba, a member of the church from Mukono Seta said: “I am happy that the church today prioritised nutrition and also gave us Aunt Porridge. And I have a testimony; my in-law’s son, Ernest, was malnourished and a doctor in Namilyango hospital advised us to buy Aunt Porridge for the boy. When we did, the results were almost instant! We couldn’t believe it.”

“We are thankful to the Church of Jesus Christ by Latter Day Saints for choosing us! My message to the rest is that if this church, with all its network and expertise, could choose Aunt Porridge, why not you?” Hilary Bainemigisha, the director, said.

Aunt Porridge remains committed to helping alleviate malnutrition and prioritizing the health and well-being of everyone, especially women and children.

HOW YOU KEEP ONE TWIN HEALTHY WHEN THE OTHER IS SICK!

One of the challenges with twins is that if they get sick, Sickness doesn’t always strike both twins simultaneously. Your twins will catch a cold, get the flu, have a stomach bug, or come down with any number of other contagious illnesses. In a case where one is sick and another healthy, how do you keep one twin healthy when the other is sick?

1. Wash their hands
Teach your twins good hygiene habits, such as washing their hands with the “Happy Birthday” song sung twice while scrubbing. Teach them to cough or sneeze into their elbow or tissue instead of their hands.

2. Don’t share
Avoid sharing clothes, toys, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. that the sick twin uses this only leads to the transmission of germs.

3. Sanitize their toys
Wash or sanitize frequently used items like I-pads, phones, toys, door knobs, and TV remotes to prevent the harboring of germs during illness or its spread to other people in the family as well.

4. Separate them
If possible, separate the sick twin from the healthy one by giving them separate beds until they recover.

5. Look after yourself
Eat well, get rest, and wash your hands to manage the illness. If you fall sick too, take turns with another adult to ensure a stable parent-child relationship.
Ultimately the spread of germs should be everyone’s effort in the house to make sure the twins and the adults stay healthy and disease-free.
