[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 22nd that the Children's Meal Management Support Center will carry out a specialized project called "I am a Little Nutritionist and Hygienist" for children registered at meal service centers.

This project aims to select a total of 33 little nutritionists and hygienists to enhance children's understanding of nutrition and hygiene and to improve their sense of responsibility. Among the 17 registered meal service centers, four daycare centers were selected considering the number of children and their ages, and the program will be held every Thursday from March to October.

Children selected as little nutritionists will assist in preparing meals and snacks, serving food, and cleaning up, while children selected as little hygienists will help ensure that children in the facility follow hygiene rules such as hand washing, tooth brushing, and wearing masks.

The Sinan-gun Children's Meal Management Support Center plans to regularly visit the daycare centers to educate children on nutrition and hygiene so that they can perform their roles as little nutritionists and hygienists well, and will distribute educational materials with illustrations to make it easier for children to understand.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "We will do our best to develop various educational supports to provide more effective and high-quality education for children’s healthy eating habits in the region."
