Breakfast for Kindergarten schoolgirls in Pakistan

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

The above quote tells us the importance of breakfast, but to a large population of school-going kids from poor areas like Lyari, Old Golimar and Garden West, this may mean nothing as they live below the poverty line and most of them come to school without having breakfast.

The toddlers of Kindergarten I and Kindergarten II of SMB Fatimah Jinnah School, thanks to your generous donations, are given regular breakfast in the morning. This includes biscuits, bread, jam, butter, chicken spread, fruit salad, fresh fruits like apples, bananas and melon, chicken corn soup in winter, instant noodles, occasional sweets, etc. Milk is always part of the daily breakfast. The school's kindergarten staff serves them with utmost dedication feels extremely fulfilled watching kids happily having breakfast.

During this past quarter, the school was off for the month of July and breakfast was served to 230 children during the months of August and September. The introduction of breakfast at the start of the day has enhanced the physical and mental energies of our students. The records show less absenteeism of toddlers since the programme was started. They love to have breakfast at school with friends and are in turn helping their parents to have breakfast culture at home by demanding breakfast on school holidays. The health room of school data also confirms that the number of sick children from KG brought to health room has decreased.

Thank you for support in making the breakfast programme a success.

"Breakfast Class" remains a constant attraction for our kindergarten students. It is a pleasure watching them queuing up and taking their own plate to the dining table to have their breakfast. The generous donations for breakfast have contributed a lot in the physical, social and academic life of toddlers as they get good nutrition due to which they remain mentally active and learn to socialize during breakfast time specially.

Our students are developing the healthy habit of starting the day with breakfast and they in turn are educating their parents to provide them with similar kind of breakfast at home during holidays.

The menu includes milk, bread and butter, instant noodles, boiled eggs or potatoes, biscuits, cakes etc with added items in the winter like chicken corn soup, fruit salad and raw vegetables like carrots, cucumber etc.

Thank you for your support in making this programme possible!
