More on National Food and Nutrition Commission

 Along with 100 other pedestrians,  I walk 5 blocks in the industrial area to get to work on Lusaka's busiest street-Lumumba Rd (which only sounds like a dance but is really a slow crawl).  Luckily I don't have to cross it cuz that is done on the run.  
Here is Beatrice, my main boss.  Even she uses her personal laptop at work. She found the apartment and hired me and told me that I will work in all departments.

This is the doorway to my office which I share with Gladys.  Last Friday, we were told to take the whole week off while the managers (like Beatrice) had a retreat but I didn't make any plans so am coming to work anyway.  You can tell by this posting how hard-working I am.  Here I have free internet.

Our buildings include the warehouse where my office is to the left in the picture below.  Trucks can drive in through the garage door.  Luckily for our lungs, that has only happened once since I started working here.

Next picture is the front wall mural outside our office.  The major focus this year will be the nutrition of the fetus and child until age 2--aptly called First 1000 Days Campaign.  This will include maternal nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding.  I am really glad we are addressing these critical first 1000 days.   Zambia has 48% stunting rate which is irreversible and impacts the child's learning capacity for life.

I have been assigned the task of writing the nutrition guidelines starting with General Nutrition.
