What a wonderful feeling to see children doing what children are supposed to do - what is totally normal - eating a nutritious meal without having to worry about the next one coming! Children should be carefree and happy - starting a school day with breakfast in their tummies to keep them alert and focused on their lessons - and know without a doubt that at lunch time a good warm meal will be waiting for them in the dining hall. But let's face it, that isn't how it is for hundreds of thousands of children all over the world every day. According to Mutual Responsibility.com "Every 5 Seconds A Child Dies From Malnutrition And Hunger ". Of course, we cannot feed all of them, and quoting Mother Theresa "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one".
With your help, we have been able to provide meals for hundreds of children 6 days a week. Children who would have gone to bed hungry - woken up hungry - and, if they were lucky enough to even go to school - go to school hungry are now carefree and smiling children eating their lunch, playing on the playground afterward and are wide awake and yearning for new knowledge when the bell rings calling them back to class.
Let's keep those plates and tummies full and big smiles on their faces - just as children are supposed to be. Believe it - It isn't just a drop in the bucket to help feed these children. They are going to grow up into adults who will remember these acts of kindness and will pass it forward in their own way - with a SMILE!
Another quote from Mother Teresa "Peace begins with a smile".
Asante sana - thank you so much!
