Share details of your KiDS session
In November 2022, the Aruba Diabetes Foundation organised KiDS educational sessions in three primary schools and seven after-school institutions in the island’s capital Oranjestand. Over 350 children participated in the interactive sessions that were supported by a general practitioner and trained assistants. During the sessions, the children learnt more about diabetes through presentations and a quiz, and received handouts of KiDS resources. A highlight was a presentation on the amount of sugar cubes contained in products commonly consumed by children in Aruba. Overall, both the children and teachers were enthusiastic and eager to learn more about diabetes, how it can be prevented and how they can support their peers who may be living with the condition.
