Hello, this is Jessie Hardcastle over at the Refugee Resettlement Organization. We are dealing with a large number of women with infants who have recently been resettled in our town. However, the doctors tell us that they have some malnutrition problems and need information about how to eat healthily. The doctor has given them vitamins but they need basic nutrition for new mothers and infants up to 2 years old. Could you put together an educational program for them and choose examples of a good menu for a week for the mothers? They could also use the information on WIC, and on proper feeding of infants from newborn to 2 years old."
