The City Health Office (CHO) and the City Nutrition Committee will jointly conduct a search for the model Breastfeeding Mother on Thursday, in observance of Nutrition Month.
The search will highlight the opening program for the Nutrition Month celebration with the theme “Isulong ang Breastfeeding – Tama, Sapat at Eksklusibo.”
While the program dubbed “Nutri-Walk” will start at 3 p.m. at the Paseo del Mar.
The observance will kick off with a colorful parade from the Zamboanga Central School towards Mayor Climaco Avenue, and culminate at the Paseo del Mar, where the program and search will be conducted.
Nutri-Walk is the city’s first event among the series of nutrition-related activities slated in observance of Nutrition Month.
