Sanjana Rao - Presenting her book to school children in Lima, Peru

My name is Sanjana Rao. I am a Senior at Castilleja School, a college preparatory high school in Palo Alto, California.

My 11 year-old brother, Sahil Rao, was diagnosed with Type I diabetes when he was just 2 years old, and so I have lived alongside this disease that has posed several daily challenges in his life. Though Sahil had no control over his diagnosis because he has Type I, Type II diabetes can be prevented with a healthier lifestyle. I realized last year how large of a role proper nutrition plays in the prevention of diabetes and the significance of educating the world's youth about this issue.




Video shows about me talking to school children in Lima, Peru about my contributions on children's nutrition and Diabetes prevention book titled 'Comida Deliciosa y Saludable: Barriga Feliz! '
