My Project

Please help me provide for my underprivileged students. Times are very hard and there are items that the students require. Some of the kids come to school hungry and leave home hungry. If possible I would like to help supply some of the essential items (soap, towels, hygiene items & socks) they they need daily.

Helping students will prevent hunger The snacks will help their empty stomachs and hopefully help them focus on the different tasks while at school.

It will help them focus on their school work instead of their personal needs. These kids eat lunch at school around 10:30 and do not get another meal until the end of the school day which is 4:oop.m.
