(Photo: Tanya Hisanan/World Vision) ---  SUMMARY: One year old Moreen bounced gleefully on her mother’s lap as she absorbed her surrounding with alert eyes. She stopped and screamed excitedly as she fixed her gaze upon a passing brown dog with a wagging tail. After a few seconds, her curiosity satisfied, Moreen resumed her happy bouncing. “I've been breastfeeding Moreen since the day she was born,” Moreen’s mom, Gilda, 25, said as she held on to Moreen who has quietly sat herself down on Gilda’s lap. “When she turned six months, I started giving her bananas, sweet potatoes, and vegetables from our garden and the market. But I continue to feed her with my breast milk,” Gilda added. Gilda, who is three months pregnant with her second child, is grateful that Moreen is healthy and has never had any major illness. Gilda said that her mother, who works as a village health volunteer, often advises her on what to do to care for Moreen. Village health volunteers are the health systems front line workers as they provide appropriate and timely health information, advice, and referral to pregnant mothers and their families through regular home visits.
