Focus on child health

CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank in association with the Lions Clubs of Barbados will be promoting a healthier Barbadian population through the prevention of obesity and prediabetes amongst school children ages nine to 13 years.
This is through a major project to be undertaken by the Lions Clubs next year that will seek to examine the practices of children and adolescents in randomly selected primary and secondary schools across Barbados.
