Executive Summary
Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Belly is a program that has been developed in hopes
of reducing rates of obesity. With Michigan having one of the highest rates of obesity in
the United States, it is time to take charge and implement a program that will reduce this
life threatening epidemic. Obesity stems from a lack of knowledge in nutrition and
exercise. This program will involve building a foundation for the children within their
schools in the West Bloomfield School District that will educate them on how to live a
long, healthy life. If children are taught from a young age about how to stay healthy and
fuel their brains, there is no doubt that we can reduce rates of obesity. We are requesting a grant in the amount of $50,000 from The Gates Foundation to assist in funding the startup costs of our venture. These startup costs include the costs of local produce, nutrition days, raising awareness, and Fuel Your Brain goody bags which include helpful take home information for the children.
Proposal Description
Children that grow up with a lack of knowledge in nutrition and exercises to stay
healthy, tend to have a greater chance of becoming obese. When a child lacks knowledge
of proper nutrition and a steady exercise routine, they are not only affecting their physical appearance. The inside of their bodies are significantly affected. Obesity decreases an
individual’s life expectancy, reduces attention span and ...

1. In the past
60 years,
vaccines
helped
eradicate
one disease
(Smallpox) and are close to
eradicating another (Polio).
Vaccines prevent more than 2.5
million deaths each year.
The impact of child vaccines is
magnified when used in
conjunction with other health
efforts like antibiotics, oral
rehydration salts, bed nets, and
vitamins.
New and underutilized vaccines
could avert nearly 4 million deaths
of children under the age 5 by
2015.
Vaccines cause ―herd immunity‖,
which means if the majority of
people in a community have been
vaccinated against a disease, an
unvaccinated person is less likely
to get sick because others are
less likely to get sick and spread
the disease.
Vaccines helped reduce measles
deaths globally by 78 percent
between 2000 and 2008. In sub-
Saharan Africa, deaths dropped
by 92 percent in the same period.
There are existing vaccines that
could stop rotavirus and
pneumonia—two conditions that
kill nearly 3 million children under
the age of 5 every year.
New or improved vaccines are
currently being developed for
HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis,
and neglected tropical diseases.
Researchers estimate that a
viable malaria vaccine could be
ready for children in the
developing world as early as 2015.
Not all vaccines are given as
shots. Vaccines for rotavirus and
polio, for instance, are
distributed orally.
The GAVI Alliance has supported
the immunization of more than
288 million children and as a result
averted more than 5 million child
deaths since 2000.
Most diseases prevented by
vaccines are no longer common in
the United States. If vaccines
weren’t used, just a few cases
could quickly turn into tens or
hundreds of thousands.

Howdy!
We are still exploring
relocation options and
whether or not to classify
ourselves as daycare.
We are definitely not a
daycare and we are going to
steer clear from being called
one. However, we are looking
into falling into the category
of fitness, health and nutrition.
This one comes with its own set
of requirements but that will
help our bottom line and keep
us from spending overhead
costs we do not have.
Each day, we learn from our
mistakes and from the trial
and error in order to come out
on top.
As we continue to move
forward and abide by the
regulations, we have come to
realize that our activities will
run more smoothly when we
distinguish our self from the
competition. As a nonprofit,
we always think we are not a
business and should not run
like one, but that is just a
stigma. A non profit is a
business and should be run as
a business. Regardless of
whether we make a profit, we
have to think, and act, as if we
were a multi-million dollar
business.
In doing this, we will have
what it takes to make our
organization successful. There
is a board meeting coming up
this week and I call on to the
board to help us classify this
entity so that we can fit a
classification and finally open
our doors for business once
and for all. We mean business,
we are a body of people that
work very hard to make a
difference in children’s life
and we hope to accomplish this
with the help of all people,
known or unknown.
We are eager to partner with
organizations all around town
whose mission and vision is in
line with ours. While we are
pleased in the many milestones
of our organization, we are
working hard each day to
better our program and to
reach out to the community to
let them know that we are a
helping hand and we are here
to help the success and health
of our children.
We have faced many rough
patches as we work towards
opening our center, but we are
working around it to find
better ways to sustain our
organization. Ever since we
took over the Cummings
propriety space back in
March, we have been faced
with tremendous challenges
and because of these challenges
and resistance, we have
developed new ways in
helping us become successful.
We hope that as we move
away from these challenges,
we will accomplish what we
have been working for.
We are seeking NEW Enrollment!
We are seeking Volunteers for various roles.

3. Healthy Recipes for children
Fire Roasted Chile
and Garlic Chicken
Burgers
The easiest way
to make a burger
healthier is to sub
out the beef with
chicken in order to skip out on the saturated
fat. This recipe adds tons of flavor with the
roasted chiles, and piles on more with the
garlic. Simply leave out the bacon to go easy
on your waistline and you’re good to go. Use a
multi-grain or whole wheat bun to make it a
complete meal.
http://bembu.com/healthy-dinner-recipes
Paleo Curry Meatballs
The curry sauce on these
gives them a unique flavor
that’s unusual in the world of meatballs. These
are dairy free for all of you Paleo enthusiasts,
and they end up as a healthy option even for
those that aren’t following the Paleo diet. If
you’re looking for low-carbs you can make a
meal out of them, and if not you can balance
these out with some nice whole wheat pasta or
a baked potato.
http://bembu.com/healthy-dinner-recipes
Crock Pot
Chicken
Taco Chili
No taco
shells need-
ed to enjoy
this chili. It uses chicken instead of beef
so you’re getting all of the flavor you’d
want, but without worrying about added
fat from ground beef. The beans are
there, as you’d expect, but you may want
to add some bell peppers to get some
more veggies included. The corn and
beans are your carb source. Overall a
hearty meal you can eat with a fork.

Cha Cha Bowl
The bright mix of colors
makes this a great dish to
whip up when you have
company over, and no
one will suspect that
you’re passing off healthy food on them. The
ingredients are all freshly made, and retain their
healthy status by not being cooked. The rice
and beans supply some good carbs, the chicken
is the protein adder, and there are yummy veg-
gies like zucchini. The healthy fats from the av-
ocados mean you’ll feel full and fight body fat.

4. Prepping Your Child’s Body for the Changing Seasons
Well, it is almost upon us….the changing of the seasons. By now, you and your child have taken the steps
to transition from summer and to the return of your children to school. On the heels of school are the
changing seasons and the period of time where more children become ill and miss multiple days from
school. This is believed to be due to the increased amount of time spent with children and adults who
may have come to school sick.
It is not unusual for parents to send their child to the school for the first time only to discover that their
child has become ill shortly thereafter. Why is this? This is because of the exposure to germs and
pathogens that ―incubate‖ for a brief period after exposure. After the incubation period, the individual
then shows signs of becoming ill.
The common cold and strep throat are two culprits that tend to inflict illness upon young children. Parents may not be fully aware
that vaccinating your child against common childhood diseases may not keep your child from catching the common cold or strep
throat. According to the researchers at WebMED, the average child will catch 6 to 10 colds per year. It is possible to help prevent the
number of colds your child gets by taking a few simple steps: obtain a flu vaccine for your child. Teach your child to wash his or her
hands several times a day – especially after using the restroom and before eating. Parents should also teach their children to use a
tissue when sneezing and to cover their mouths when coughing. This helps to prevent the transmission of airborne particles to others.
One note of caution here- hand sanitizers only work with the first usage- it does not continually kill germs with repeated use. Hand
washing with soap and water is the BEST method of killing germs. Colds that progress with muscle aches and fever may actually be
the flu! Your child needs to stay home!
Strep throat is caused by a bacteria and children with and without tonsils can get strep throat. The bacteria that causes strep
generally has to ―incubate‖, or ―grow‖ for a period of about 2-5 days before you see symptoms. In order to know if your child has strep,
you will have to take them to your doctor to be evaluated. It is possible to have a sore throat and not be strep.
While both examples- the common cold and strep throat, can make your child ill and uncomfortable, there are a few things we can do
to work towards prevention:
1. Develop a regular habit of hand washing with soap and water. Teaching children to wash their hands after toileting, and before
meals, can decrease the exposure of germs into a child’s body.
2. Start a regular routine of adding a multi-vitamin to your child’s diet each and every day. Additional vitamin supplements may not be
necessary- just one multi-vitamin developed for children, will help to boost your child’s immune system.
3. Teach your children to wear appropriate clothing for the temperature of the day. If it has become cold, wet, and windy, your child
will probably fare better with a jacket and hood, boots, or shoes made for wet weather, and an umbrella. Children often do not dress
for the weather…you can take a jacket off if it becomes warm!
4. Pump up your daily diet! Add fresh fruits loaded with Vitamin C to boost your child’s immune system and to help offset the attack
of cold germs that are often present when children get together.
5. Make sure your child gets the recommended number of hours spent sleeping. The body needs rest and along with rest, your child
needs to be taught to take a bath daily and staying on top of regular hygiene can aid in our fight against disease!
Parents, now is a good time to develop a backup plan for who can help care for your child if they are sick and you have to work!
If your child becomes ill, please consider the following:
1. Keep your child home if they are running a fever, have muscle aches and show signs, or symptoms of the flu or strep.
2. Contact your doctor for an appointment- get evaluated.
As fall and winter approach, we at Kids Be Aware are wishing you a wonderful transition to the changing seasons and for a healthy
school year!
