On a recent visit to the Antoshka orphanage a Peace Corp volunteer estimated
that the babies are receiving “50% of the minimum
required daily nutrients, which means that they do not receive proper nutrition.
|
|
Children aged 2 years typically weigh between 14 and 16
pounds (as compared with 28 pounds at the 50th percentile).
Babies are bald, with skinny legs and distended tummies associated with malnutrition.
|
|
This is common due to lack of vitamin D. No milk
and not enough sunshine. |
|
The babies receive a minimal number of baby formula feeds a day and their diet
is then supplemented with sugar water mix and mashed potato.
Only babies under 4 months receive baby formula. |
|
The children are fed a staple diet of bread, potato, soup and tea. Children
aged 7 years interviewed at the Roschitsa Orphanage had never seen ice cream
or a banana. |
|
Babies have been misdiagnosed due to lack of thriving. |
