Nutre Hogar, an organization that seeks to prevent severe childhood
malnutrition in Panama City, Panama, recently hosted LA Galaxy
goalkeeper Jaime Penedo. His visit was part of an event to mark a joint
donation made by the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) and the LA Galaxy
Foundation to support Nutre Hogar’s program to ensure vulnerable
children continue receiving access to good nutrition.
Officials from both HFF and the LA Galaxy Foundation joined Penedo and
Nutre Hogar at the Casa Herbalife Nutritional Recovery Center, where the
popular LA Galaxy goalkeeper spent the evening with the Center’s
resident children.
“As an athlete, it's a great honor for me to contribute to the work of
the Herbalife Family Foundation and LA Galaxy Foundation,” said Penedo.
“It is through these initiatives that we reassert the social commitment
of providing good nutrition and education to children.”
Susy de Varela, president of Nutre Hogar, added, “Relying on the support
of the Herbalife Family Foundation and LA Galaxy Foundation programs
gives us an opportunity to enhance the nutrition of Panamanian children
and give them a chance to have a healthy integration into society."
The LA Galaxy Foundation aids organizations that perform activities
intended to foster, educate and train children in various communities.
The Casa Herbalife Program was established in 2005 to help bring good
nutrition to children living in orphanages and attending after school
centers, as well as supporting other non-profit facilities tasked with
serving children. After initial financial grants made by HFF, Casa
Herbalife-funded organizations receive additional financial and
volunteer assistance from Herbalife independent members and
distributors, as well as Herbalife employees.
