Porridge and Pancakes for under-privileged Pakistani school-children

During the past three months, 254 children from the Kindergarten Section of SMB Fatima Jinnah Government Girls School in the heart of Karachi were served a nutritious breakfast every day. As winter approaches, we have introduced a few wholesome new items to the menu such as chickpea salad, boiled potatoes and sweet porridge.

 

We also recently made the switch from the commonly available UHT-milk to a brand of hormone-free cow's milk to ensure our students get the best bang for buck in terms of nutrition. The baseline menu continues to include milk along with a rotation of fruit salad, bread and butter/jam, boiled eggs, sandwiches, potato cutlets and wheat porridge. The children also enjoyed chocolate pancakes as a treat one day, thanks to our wonderful breakfast chef Abidi.

 

In November, during the term PTM, the parents of our students specifically appreciated the breakfast service initiative provided at school completely free thanks to your donation. At this meeting we reiterated that parents and their children should make an effort to establish healthy eating practices at home. We also informed the parents that children at that age were not allowed to bring chips and other unhealthy fast food snacks to school and encouraged them to pack home-cooked, nutritious snacks for their children.

 

Please continue to donate to this program to help us fuel the brains of our future generations!
