The initiative builds on the implementation of the National School Nutrition Policy, by supporting the expansion of the health message across and throughout the school environments. Entrants were judged by members of the NCD Commission in two rounds, with final tailoring by a Graphic Artist of B3 Imaging, who printed the polo shirts. Thuo won two day passes for two persons each, to the Sam Lord’s Castle Wyndham Grand Resort.
