VOICE FROM THE REGION

“Every week I come to Amextra’s health and nutrition workshops. I like to come because my teacher, Isaura, explains how to eat healthily and she gives us fruits and teaches us with games… I like to learn about the human body and about how I am growing, which I can see because Amextra measures us each month.”
