My Project

Living in this island of paradise where some tourists say the price of commodities are like price of gold is getting real. Most of my students come to school without snacks or mom work late last night and wasn’t able to pack for snacks. I feel bad for them when the bell rings and they sit down in one corner waiting and watching the other kids eating.

Please help me give snacks to some of these kids, I believe making them happy and getting something in their stomach will give or make their day better and better learner as well.
