Yspaniola's New Food Program

By Alexandra Machetanz | Programs and Communications Assistant

This September marks the official inauguration of the Learning Center’s new Food Program! In Batey Libertad, many of our students suffer from a lack of consistent and healthy nutrition. The Food Program provides students with vitamins and energy to help them focus and perform to the best of their ability in the classroom, and increases motivation for parents to consistently send their children to classes in the Learning Center.

 

Yspaniola introduced the pilot Food Program last spring, and after feedback and adjustments, the program is now fully operational for the coming academic year. Currently, we provide students with nutritious snacks, including sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, bananas, and crackers. In addition, through a capital gift Yspaniola has purchased the building adjacent to the center to house the Food Program. With additional space, we are able to simultaneously hold classes and the Food Program, and commit to a long-term goal of providing healthy food to our students.

 

September saw more than the addition of the Food Program! Through a grant from Better World Books, Yspaniola has hired a third full-time local teacher from Batey Libertad: Marisela Peña. Marisela grew up and lives in Batey Libertad, and she is pursuing a degree in education at UASD in Mao. She will teach four classes in the Learning Center starting on October 13th
