Three daily meals for 150 kids in Bogotá

By   Moisés Pedraza – director Fundación Zuá

At the Zuá Foundation, nutrition remains the priority program for the 120 children, youth, and tutors we serve. If we don't feed them daily, they fail to meet the program's demands and simply drop out of the Foundation.

When children are fed, they become different, calmer, almost completely reduce their aggression, are willing to follow instructions, work with gusto, and concentrate. Without food, it's useless to work with them. This has been proven, as one of their basic needs is food, and that's where we started the Foundation and where we must continue to focus.

At the Patio Bonito headquarters, we provide breakfast to 50 children and their tutors. We provide lunch to 100 children and tutors, including those in the morning and afternoon. In addition, the 50 children in the afternoon receive a snack at the end of the day.

In Bosa, breakfast is served to 20 children and their tutors at the start of the day at 7:30 a.m., lunch is served at 11 a.m. at the end of the morning shift, and lunch is served to the 20 children and L who participate in the afternoon shift at 1 p.m.

With the goal of raising donations that would allow us to fund a month's worth of food for the children and youth of the Zuá Foundation, we participated in GlobalGiving's Little by Little campaign from March 25th to 28th.

We are very grateful to our donor friends who are helping us. Thank you so much. However, we urgently need help to continue feeding these children and hundreds of other children who need help.

With our deepest gratitude, we invite you to join the cause and take on this challenge with generosity. Let's join forces. Thank you so much.

En la Fundación Zuá, la nutrición sigue siendo sin duda el programa prioritario, para los 120 niñas, niños, jóvenes y tutores que atendemos, pues si no los alimentamos diariamente, ellos no logran responder a las exigencias de los programas y sencillamente desertan de la Fundación.

Cuando los niños reciben alimento, son otros, se tranquilizan, reducen casi por completo la agresividad, están prestos a seguir instrucciones, trabajan con gusto, se concentran. Sin alimento es inútil trabajar con ellos. Esto está comprobado, pues una de las necesidades básicas es el alimento y es por ahí por donde comenzamos la Fundación y donde nos debemos mantener

En la sede de Patio Bonito damos el desayuno a 50 niños y sus tutores y el almuerzo a 100 niños y tutores, sumados los de la mañana y los de la tarde. Además, a los 50 de la tarde, se le da el refrigerio al finalizar la jornada.

En el caso de Bosa, se les da el desayuno a 20 niños y tutores, al iniciar la jornada a las 7:30 a.m. y el almuerzo a las 11 a.m. al concluir la jornada de la mañana y a la 1 de la tarde reciben almuerzo los 20 niños y tutores que asisten a la jornada de la tarde.

Por lo anterior y con el objetivo de recaudar donaciones, que nos permitieran financiar por un mes la alimentación de las niñas, niños y jóvenes de la Fundación Zuá, participamos en la campaña Little by Little de GlobalGiving del 25 al 28 de marzo,

Estamos muy agradecidos con los amigos donantes, que nos ayudan, miles de gracias. Sin embargo, necesitamos con urgencia ayuda, para seguir alimentando a estos niños y a otros cientos de niños que requieren calmar el hambre.

Con nuestro profundo agradecimiento, va nuestra invitación a unirnos a la causa, para asumir este reto con generosidad. Mil gracias por unir esfuerzos.
