On Thursday April 4th a group of 14 CIS-NYC community members graduated from our nutrition program, which was held in February and March. Participants were from many different countries, including Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, and Mexico, and they each completed nine nutrition workshops provided in partnership with the Cornell University Cooperative Extension.
Participants learned to read nutrition labels, how to teach their children to eat healthier, and how to be careful when washing fruits or vegetables, among many other valuable new skills. Each participant received a diploma, a MetroCard, and a gift from Cabrini and Cornell in gratitude for their participation and perseverance in the group.
All participants shared a pleasant moment at their graduation and prepared a healthy salad recipe.
