A Brighter Tomorrow for Africa (BTA) recently established and is now funding a new school feeding program at a school called Connecting Destiny. We are providing support for, and nourishment to neglected children who would otherwise spend their days in the street and get little to no food or protection.
Thanks to BTA, there are 50 children receiving lunch every day who share that they grateful that our dreams became a reality in January 2018 through the tiresome effort of Sarah Armstrong/BTA. The parents were overwhelmed and the children were very excited over the feeding exercise.
The food is being prepared by a parent in the community who is also the community representative in the school’s board. She is being assisted by one of the support staff of the school. The menu ranges from spaghetti, pasta, rice and bean cakes, sweet potatoes, “Ebeh”a local meal rich in vitamins. Since rice is our staple food we give them rice and beans twice a week. The response of the children has been very encouraging. The children most often ask for second helping. They are also given a cup of “Cool aid” drink. The parents continue to express their gratitude to us for bringing such a programme into the school.
Sincerest thanks to BTA donors.
