Fet Timoun - Children's Fun Day

On a recent Sunday afternoon, St. Boniface coordinated a public health fun day for children in Fond des Blancs. The day, sponsored by COSEDERF, the local children's rights group, followed a week of health promotion sponsored by Unicef and the Haitian Ministry of Health. Basic messages regarding sanitation and nutrition were given followed by each child receiving vitamin A supplementation. Over 100 children attended and participated in fun events such as sack races, tug-of-war, and singing and dancing contests.
