This project focuses on feeding about 400 children who are currently attending schools in rural and low-income communities where government food rarely arrives. The purpose is to keep children from going hungry to allow them to focus on their education. Young children go with nothing to eat due to the fact that both parents spend the entire day away working in the fields. The food that the government is supposed to be providing comes irregularly, and children often leave school to find food at home or elsewhere. While visiting there, we found a very young girl crying from want of food. Upon interviewing local community members, it was found that this is a common occurrence and that children often miss classes due to leaving school during the day to find food. Regular food at school will promote regular school attendance. We will be sponsoring these schools with food, and expedition projects will focus on renovating the kitchens and other projects at the schools. Community members have volunteered to cook the food we provide for their children.
