Hard to Learn When Hungry

Help me give my students a snack to get them through the after school program

My Project

We have a new after school program to help our students who are learning English. Our students come from South America, Central America , the Caribbean and Africa. They stay after school for 2 hours twice a week.

Learning a new language takes fuel.

The snacks would help them to focus so that they can continue to improve their writing, speaking and listening skills. By the time many of these students get home many will have been away from their homes for twelve hours.

These students are dedicated to their education. A snack will help get them through.
