Concern's Rwanda country director, Tilaye Nigussie, with a print out of his poem at the Rwanda National Nutrition Summit
I wrote this poem for the Rwanda Second National Nutrition Summit, which was held in Kigali from November 22-23, 2011. Much of the conference’s focus was on scaling up nutrition interventions to prevent irreversible physical and mental stunting during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life. It is also the focus of my poem, “One Thousand Precious Days.”
