KIWI Says
Do the best you can, and that doesn’t mean doing everything. This is the KIWI motto.

- Whatever you can do to support health whether in yourself, your family, your community or the planet—is better than nothing.
- Buy organic foods as often as you can, but when you can’t, choose produce in season (because it’s fresher) and natural brands.
- Not every family meal will be “healthy.” We know parents have to rush kids off to school, therefore make as many balanced and nutritious meals as you can, and pat yourself on the back for each and every one.
- It’s not easy to control everything your kids eat. Allow your kids to try out new foods when they go to friends’ houses, but remember what they eat may be up to their friends’ parents!
- Live more eco-friendly by recycling, walking or taking public transit instead of driving. Use air conditioning or heat more sparingly and turn off lights when you leave a room. Over time, little bits add up to a lot.
- Show your children how to appreciate what they have compared to others. Volunteering or sponsoring a child through World Vision is a great start. Our goal of developing kind, caring children who will turn into kind, caring adults may be a long-term one, but starting now will get them there faster.
