“Service Learning in Health and Wellness” is a course offered by CCAPP at The City College of NY, which guides students to learn through hands-on services that address health issues in Harlem.
We've worked on making healthy snacks available in school vending machines, improved school cafeteria’s recycling, convinced local bodegas to offer healthy lunches, hosted farmers’ market, and developed a Healthy Living Guide with cancer prevention tips.

"Let's Move"
"Let's Move" is the name of Michelle Obama's campaign against obesity. I learned about this campaign because she was giving an interview in a Spanish channel. I think it was very interesting because there is one cause of obesity amongst kids that I had not thought about. The lack of time that parents have to cook a nutritious meal for their kids, and opt to cooking fast meal that contain more calories than what the kids need. Michelle Obama mentioned that the parents need to serve meals that constitute of vegetable and fruits to make up for the unhealthy food those kids are eating in schools. She would also ask the Congress to spend 10 billion dollars over the next decade for schools to serve healthier meals.
