Children - Nutrients and Health

Have you ever heard of “Vitamin Angels?” It is an organization that provides vitamins to young children because they believe it can make a vast difference in their health and life improvement.

I found out about the organization when ordering vitamins online, where the company I order from has an item you can check to add $1.00 to vitamins for Vitamin Angels. I think it says that just 25 cents will provide enough vitamins for one year. Unbelievable! As I said, in my facebook post, a dollar doesn’t hurt much [if at all] even if you don’t have a lot of them.

I don’t know if it is against the rules to list the name of the vitamin company within the blog, but you can ask me about it. There are other ways you can donate, as well as directly to the organization if you like. It seems like a worthy cause to me. You can check out Vitamin Angels on their web site at the URL at the end of this blog. Their mission statement is listed immediately below.

“Our mission is to mobilize and deploy private sector resources to advance availability, access and use of micronutrients, especially vitamin A, by newborns, infants and children in need. Vitamin Angels reduces child mortality worldwide by connecting essential nutrients, especially vitamin A, with infants and children under five. Essential nutrients enable young immune systems to fight infectious diseases, helping children attain good health and the opportunity to lead meaningful and productive lives.”
