Preventing Malnutrition
Although malnutrition can manifest in multiple ways, the path to prevention is virtually identical: adequate maternal nutrition before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding; optimal breastfeeding in the first two years of life; nutritious, diverse and safe foods in early childhood; and a healthy environment, including access to basic health, water, hygiene and sanitation services and opportunities for safe physical activity.

Margarita Esther Márquez Gomez
Community Coordinator
I have been a member of the Church since October 17, 1982. I served a mission in 1986-1987 in Bogotá Colombia. I am married to Alberto Muñoz and sealed in the temple in Peru. We are parents of 5. Our 3 sons also served missions. I have 3 granddaughters. I have served as a morning seminary teacher for 3 years, seminary supervisor, stake Relief Society president, primary president, institute teacher, temple worker in Barranquilla, etc, I am studying law and I am in my thesis. I know without a doubt that the church is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God just as I know that our prophet Russel M. Nelson is a servant of the Lord. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and I love the gospel. I have served the Lord in his church for 40 years and now I also do it as a social leader among the most vulnerable including the children of the Foundation, whom I love very much.
