Health and Nutrition Fair in Honduras
NSRL recently sponsored a nutrition fair at the Republic de Honduras School in
San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Xiomara, the friendly soybean was a huge hit with
the children who participated. 
NSRL collaborated with Cargill, Alcon, Pollo Noreno, CARE, CePudo and the World Soy Foundation to create awareness about the connection between balanced nutrition and wellness. Soy-enhanced dishes were on the menu and similar events are planned for the future in Central America.
