Father José, who directs both the Augustinian Recollects order in Panama and Kankintú, said that the community and his order are extremely grateful and motivated by the Nutrilite™ Power of 5 Campaign. He has seen improvement in the children’s health due to Nutrilite™ Little Bits™ in the first six months of the program. He says the children who are consuming the product have positively changed their behavior, are more dynamic, do not get sick as often and the recovery time for those who do get sick has decreased. In addition to these positive results, Father José said that the parents have supported the program because they have seen positive changes in their children. The coordinating teacher of the program has also made sure that the supplement is consumed every day. Father José thanks Amway and hopes that the program can be extended to more children and for more years.
