Abstract
The Dr. Yum Project, founded by Dr. Nimali Fernando, is a non-profit organization committed to facilitating healthy eating for families. The idea was seeded when, working at pediatric clinics, Dr. Fernando witnessed the alarming rise of childhood obesity and observed children experiencing health issues linked to poor dietary habits. In pursuit of the Dr. Yum Project’s mission, numerous initiatives have been undertaken, with one of the most significant being the development of the Preschool Food Adventure curriculum. In recent years, this curriculum has achieved considerable success and has been actively promoted to various schools. Dr. Fernando holds an optimistic outlook, believing that a strategic plan has the potential to expand the reach of the Dr. Yum Project, particularly with regard to the Preschool Food Adventure curriculum. She is curious about what such a plan may look like.
