A full child is a happy child
“School feeding not only fills stomachs, but has a proven track record of boosting enrolment, attendance and academic performance. For just pennies (coins) a day per child, this program changes lives – and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way.”
Drew Barrymore
One of our little ones (let’s call him Emile) seems to forget his bag at home most of the month. When it is snack time and everyone run towards their bags. Emile would run towards his teacher and say, ’I forgot my bag at home.’ The teacher would then say to him, ‘No worries, I’ll sort you out right away’ and proceed to the kitchen to get him a snack. Other times of the month Emile would bring his bag to school but at snack time he would hide behind his friends with his bag but still no snack. His teacher later discovered that Emile preferred to say he forgot his bag at home instead of having to say he has no snack. The teacher now speaks to him before snack time to avoid his embarrassment.
We understand that a fed child is a happy child and a happy child is excited and physically able to learn. This month the Gracelanders would thank Distell for their continuous generosity they have shown Graceland Pre-primary. Distell diligently provides our little ones with a delicious and nutritious meal once weekly. Through this partnership we are able to make sure our children are fed something nutritious every day.
