I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference."

THIS WEEK
Birdwatching in Hangdong, Chiang Mai
You don’t have to be an expert to appreciate the beauty of birds. Observing any bird can fill you with awe at the perfection of their evolution. From the mechanics of their flight to the pleasing array of colors and textures, birds evoke a sense of wonder through our visual sensations. Continue Reading...
Health Education in School Children in Chiang Mai
The Children's Sight and Health project, initiated in October 2015 by expat volunteers in Chiang Mai, is a nonprofit endeavor aimed at improving the well-being of school children through vision testing and addressing nutritional needs. This study explores the prevalence of malnutrition among school children, both undernutrition and overnutrition, and highlights the importance of health education in addressing these issues. The project analyzed data from eight schools in Chiang Mai, involving 1,129 students, using the body mass index (BMI) as a standardized measure of adiposity. The findings indicate that 26.8% of children aged 13-19 were below the normal BMI range, while 16.8% were overweight or obese. Gender differences were observed, with a higher proportion of girls showing severe underweight or underweight status, and a greater number of boys being overweight or obese. The study emphasizes the critical role of early childhood nutrition in optimal growth and development and highlights the potential long-term health risks associated with malnutrition, such as chronic non-communicable diseases. Health education and regular monitoring of heights, weights, and lifestyle choices are essential in addressing these issues. The project's cooperation with schools has been promising; however, the need for continued education and intervention remains unmet. Recommendations include extending health education programs, partnering with educational institutions, and involving other agencies for long-term sustainability. The project's findings underscore the urgency of addressing underweight and overweight children through comprehensive health education initiatives and support systems.
