CHEERing at Thermopylae

Posted by CHEER International Group on March 5, 2020

CHEERing visited Thermopylae yesterday to meet with women and young children who live at this camp and to host another Don’t Get Sick! training. We also took some time to visit the natural hot springs near the camp and the Leonidas statue.

We got a text from our friends @projectelpida telling us a German NGO needed to host a football tournament, pronto. Three days later, CHEERing FC held a full scale tournament at Goal Soccer Club in Athens, for over 100 refugee footballers, thanks to @stelp_supporter_on_site, an international aid organization that supports people in acute need, and the VfB Stuttgart Football team from Germany’s Bundesliga. 🏆 Stelp filmed the tournament for their short movie that will feature street football and tournaments in Germany, Lebanon, Nepal…and us, #CHEERing FC in Greece!

Less than two years ago, a group of 12 girls from Malakasa Camp asked #CHEERing for a girls’ football team. We practiced in the village square and a car park. Now, CHEERing Football Club has almost 200 players, and is supported by @fundaciofcb.

Our latest #ResearchSpotlight explored public health and #nutrition claims found on infant formula companies’ websites and investigated the evidence to support such claims. ⚠ Results suggest that revised regulations for breast milk substitutes can better protect shoppers and help them avoid harmful marketing tactics of infant formula.

This week’s #ResearchSpotlight studied the relationship between social support and early breastfeeding. In this sample of women, social support goes hand-in-hand with longer, planned #breastfeeding duration, but no association was found between social support and early breastfeeding or breastfeeding confidence 💡.

Our latest #ResearchSpotlight evaluated the association of breastfeeding in the first hour of life and rooming-in with high #breastfeeding intensity of low-income, multi-ethnic mothers intending to #breastfeed. Breastfeeding in the first hour of life and rooming-in are two Baby-Friendly Hospital Interventions that hospitals should be incorporating.

This week’s #ResearchSpotlight looked at whether or not the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions affected #postpartum hospitalization rates. Findings suggest that long-term continuous health care and efforts to expand #Medicaid coverage may improve postpartum health in the U.S.
