Distribution of infant milk
The regular milk distribution took place during October. In the first phase, children aged 0 to 1 year received two 600-gram bags of whole powdered milk, enough for ten days. Additionally, skimmed milk for special diets was included for September and October.
In the second delivery, children aged 1 to 2 years received a one-kilogram bag for ten days.
The third installment corresponded to the cow plan and the special diets of whole milk.
Attention to teenagers turning 15
The special module intended for teenagers turning 15 years old, consisting of one kilogram of hamburger dough and one kilogram of mortadella, has begun to be delivered.
That information is incorrect. We in Guanabacoa are still waiting for the extra rice and compote we were supposed to get in August. The distribution went from July to September. Who can provide answers?
