Have you ever tried to learn something when you are hungry and/or thirsty? It is practically impossible. The brain needs food for thought! A child just cannot concentrate on all of those sometimes very complicated things that their teacher is talking about when he or she has a mouth so dry that it feels like it is full of straw and a stomach that is growling for food. That's no way to live and learn!
The children and students on the Live and Learn in Kenya International sponsorship program never have these problems. The children attending the school at the Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center in Nakuru receive breakfast and a warm meal every school day - and all of the program's children in Nakuru can come to the Center on Saturdays for fun, games, sports, tutoring - and lunch! The program's children and youths who are attending partner schools, vocational training, colleges, and universities receive their meals - paid for by Live and Learn in Kenya International - at their respective schools.
We believe in feeding those SMILES and not letting anyone go hungry or thirsty. That is a basic right of every human being - young or old!
Your donations make this happen - and we are very thankful for every single donation - large or small. Over 560 children and youths depend on all of us to provide this basic right to each and every one of them.
Asante sana - thank you so much!
