FYN was founded on a vision to create a solid foundation for a healthier future population, one child at a time.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to capture the imaginations of the youngest minds and ignite in them a passion for understanding the vital importance of proper nutrition, physical activity, and Kindness.
We’ve created materials to do just that.
"A program for the purpose of instilling health and character building qualities in school age children through the offering of a selection of educational tools (games) to be used in a school setting or simply as fun activities at home."
Statistics reveal that 90% of children are failing to meet their daily recommended intake of greens, coinciding with alarming increases in childhood obesity and diabetes rates.
Our ‘Feed Your Ninjas’ concept is the solution!

OUR WELLNESS WARRIOR
Enter the world of our Ninjas, vibrant and agile characters who exemplify the choices we make when it comes to food. They illustrate how some foods, the ones we should choose often, bestow upon them alertness and boundless energy.
The genesis of "How to Feed Your Ninjas" came from deep scientific exploration into the reasons behind our need to embrace vegetables and other nutritious foods. We wanted to uncover what these little warriors require to maintain their relentless quest to keep us in good health. Rooted in scientific evidence, it became clear that, while it’s important to consume many types of foods, the nutrients found in whole plant foods, coupled with regular physical activity, are the keys to keeping our Ninjas activated and thriving.
To make the science tangible and engaging, we armed our Ninjas with Bananas and Asparagus Spears, demonstrating how these foods can act as potent tools to fend off disease-causing invaders. We turned complex scientific concepts into captivating visuals.
Our aspiration extends beyond a mere concept; it's a movement we are fervently nurturing. Currently, we are hard at work crafting Activity Books, thoughtfully designed for teachers and parents to use as additional tools. These stories aim to inspire children to voluntarily take responsibility for the health and well-being of their Ninjas.
The first steps on our journey delved deep into the realms of nutrition and exercise. Now, as we prepare for the next steps, we turn our focus towards the emotional well-being of our Ninjas. This will explore the profound impact of Acts of Kindness, Gratitude, and Joy. It will delve into the feelings derived from positive emotions, such as the warmth of gratitude, the joy of happiness, and the fulfillment that comes from performing acts of kindness. We emphasize the ripple effect of kindness, not only benefiting the recipient but also the giver, spreading positivity far and wide.
But our mission doesn't stop there. We envision creating idols, relatable figures that resonate with the young minds we aim to inspire. These idols will embody empowerment, serving as beacons of inspiration for our children to follow, as they embark on their own quests to nurture the health and happiness of their Ninjas, and in doing so, themselves.
FEED YOUR NINJAS…
