Have you ever gone hungry before, the kind of hunger that makes one feel like they are dying and that they can eat anything and everything that may be presented to? If you have then you would very much appreciate food and its significance. Now let me ask another question, have you realize that we spend a lot on what we eat and what goes into our bodies? Have you also realize how quickly supplies run out when the number is larger in the home? These are some typical scenarios of some of the things that happen in the Children’s Home.
Due to the large number of children supplies run out fast, also foods that go around are enough for everybody but not enough for satisfaction because it is all about conserving for the longest possible time. These and many more are some of the things that pushed us to do this deed. Helping in the least possible way we can, so they can also enjoy good meals.
One of the greatest things we can do for the younger generation is to give them as much love as we can, Let’s sacrifice our today so our children may have a better tomorrow.
What is @bettervision about?
@bettervision is is a project initiated by @nattybongo and friends to give back to the society the knowledge and skill acquired through the Optometric Studies in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.It is an outreach system where we visit the less privileged communities to offer free eye screening services and education to the people within the community
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To reduce or prevent vision loss through diseases such as glaucoma, cataract and refractive errors.
To enlighten the majority of the Ghanaian population about the importance of proper visual care.
To conscientize people on the need for regular eye checks
To get more people to have their wards screened within the Critical periods of a Child’s Vision Development; thus from ages 3 to till about 10 years.
To help the blind and people with low vision live a better life within the society through education of the general public to stop stigmatization.

Rice is a common food all across the globe now and there are various ways of always modifying its cooking to produce a different delicacy, that way we never get tired of it. In the Ghanaian indigenous setting the most popular delicacies here are plain rice with stew, braised rice, rice balls, jollof rice, fried rice and the wonderful awaakye, (maybe in the future we can learn about the Ghanaian culture in a more detail fashion). Rice is a carbohydrate and fall under the body building foods, it is also a great source of energy and has a very high nutritive value. It is free of gluten and some researches have even proven that it has anticancer properties and prevents constipation. Thus the children will be having lots of benefits from eating the rice we presented to them and go a long way to also improve their health.
