First phase:
On August 29, 2013, a delegation of volunteers of the Italian non-profit organisation "Centro Studi per la Pace Onlus" of Demonte (CN) set out on a journey to Tanzania, and specifically to the Nutritional Centre of the Università Internazionale della Pace - Giorgio La Pira - based in Kongwa, in order to forward a first batch of a nutritional food paste to Guinea Bissau for undernourished children there. This operation was carried out successfully, 300 of the jars having arrived at destination and having been received by the centre in Gabù which follows most of the malnourished and underweight children.
Second phase:
1)Information
a) At the clinic "Ceù e Terras", 15 pregnant women suffering from Hiv/Aids, a part of whom anaemic and another part non-anaemic (demonstrated by laboratori analysis) were subjected to nutritional care. After 15/20 days, in the anaemic women the haemoglobin count increased from 3 to 8, and from 10 to 14 in the non-anaemic group of women. No improvement was found in only one of the cases, as it wasn't known until after medical examination that the patient was suffering from malaria.
b) At the Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre of Gabù, 33 malnourished children from the age of 5 and under were treated with the food paste. In two months, all the children gained weight - on average over 1 kg - as well as in height and skull circumference.
