How we help Olivia from Uganda When she was 36, her husband died. She was pregnant with her 6th son. The oldest was 19 and the youngest 18 months. They were so poor they often went for days without a proper meal, breakfast was rare. Her eldest children worked on farms for 20p a day. How much food could you buy with 20p?
How we help Olivia from Uganda Their poor nourishment meant they all contracted Malaria, the children missed school and work We trained Olivia in how to grow food and look after animals We also gave her a cow, which provided milk and manure! They sold whatever they didn’t eat so they had more money
How we help Olivia from Uganda They now were nourished and they could afford the fees for school Life was not easy for Olivia and her family though Floods devastated the land A very dry season followed But her new confidence gained from working with Send a Cow gave her the courage to carry on.
How we help Olivia and her family’s journey is far from over, but now they have nourishment and health, and her children can get an education

Calories We use Calories to measure how much energy there is in foods. 1) The more calories, the more energy. 2) If you don’t have your daily amount of calories, how do you think you might feel? 3) If you have too many calories, what might happen to your weight and why? 4) Consider a family in Africa with no breakfast or lunch, how might they feel doing exercise?
Calories Food with lots of calories are foods that have: Lots of fat Lots of sugar Can you think of any examples?
Calories Match the calories to the breakfast, try and match the food types too.
