My Project

Healthy Minds, is a project promoting healthy living and a love of learning among students. We provide nutritious treats and snacks, encouraging kids to make informed food choices. By fueling their minds and bodies, we foster a positive learning environment, boosting engagement and motivation. This initiative helps students develop healthy habits, self-care practices, and a lifelong passion for learning. These project will surely help my students cope up with hunger while coming to school with empty stomach every day. As a teacher, I would like them to feel love, and cared.
