A Student of Knowledge

Adam is a student of knowledge that comes from a rough background, he recently came to our school as a refugee who came to live with his uncles family that are not well off themselves, despite his situation he is known as one of the most curious students in our school. He enjoyed his classes and loved playing soccer with his friends during break time, he is respectful with his teachers and elders and is always willing to help or attempt to answer a question.

Adam, unlike his classmates, never brought a packed lunch from home or ate breakfast before coming to school. Every day, he solely relied on the meals provided at the school.

When we asked about his situation he states: "We don't have much money, and sometimes there's not enough food at my uncles home since he has 5 other kids. But I love coming to school because I know I'll get a good breakfast, snacks and lunch here."

Why Providing Healthy Meals is Important

It's no secret that proper nutrition is necessary for a child's growth and development. In fact, studies have shown that children who are well-nourished perform better academically and have improved behavior and attendance in school. However, not all families have the means to provide their children with nutritious meals every day.

This is where the school cafeteria plays a crucial role. By offering hot, healthy halal meals and snacks to students like Adam, we are not only filling their stomachs but also ensuring they have the necessary nutrients to thrive in school.

Moreover, by providing these meals, we are promoting equality among our students. Every child deserves an equal chance at success, regardless of their family's financial situation. By providing meals at school, we remove the stigma that may come with being unable to afford food and give all students an equal opportunity to focus on their education.
