We have also decided that in cooperation with the sector, we are going to find people with higher understanding, who will be godmother or godfather of those children where each child has his or her own, who must follow him or her, accompany him or her until he or she gets out of that malnutrition. Since then, the event is organized every Friday for the follow up.
