Purnima’s story


16-month-old Purnima came to the Ansal API construction site centre, in Gurgaon, as a malnourished child (Grade 2 Malnutrition Status). She was extremely weak and couldn’t participate much in the centre’s activities. The doctor recommended a special diet, regular body massage and multi-vitamin supplements. MC staff further counseled her mother to give extra attention and take care of her health and hygiene. Purnima’s attendance remained regular and slowly her weight and nutritional status improved to Grade 1.
 
A cheerful Purnima now interacts with other children: she climbs, swings & plays with blocks. At meal times, she is the 1st one in the line!
