Today we came with Avelina, to reinforce the investment we will make and what better way to do it with this brand, as oatmeal is a nutritious food and it is our desire, that these small children receive good nutrition, with a product that is easy to prepare and is healthy for their development." 

Meanwhile, Omar Angulo, Avelina's regional manager in the Dominican Republic, was in charge of explaining the preparation process of oatmeal to each of the parents that received the gift.

"For Avelina, it is a great pleasure to contribute to your children's nutrition. On this day, we have brought you a gift that contains our product in their various flavors and product lines. You only have to add water or milk and it does not require sugar.  So it is a meal that contains all the vitamins and minerals that children need," Angulo said during his speech.
