LAHORE: Punjab Minister of Labour and Human Resource Raja Ashfaq Sarwar, and Bruno Olierhoek, managing director of Nestlé Pakistan, inaugurated a Nestlé Healthy Kids Room at the Punjab Workers Welfare Board (PWWB) Higher Secondary School in Nishtar Town, a statement said on Monday.

I take this opportunity to extend my fullest cooperation to Nestlé Pakistan in their mission.”

Olierhoek said: “As the world's leading nutrition, health and wellness company, Nestlé is happy to promote healthy eating habits among Pakistani children.”

“The Nestlé Healthy Kids programme is based on multi-partnership approaches and the PWWB Higher Secondary Schools are certainly helping us take the programme to more kids in the region.”
