Schools meals bringing more kids to school

Indigenous children with their school meals
Indigenous children with their school meals

Our school meals program in Lake Atitlan Guatemala is continuing as ever. The children receive bread, tamales and atol (a fortified corn based drink) fruit and tamales. The students are also receiving chuchitos which is made from corn meal and filled with chicken. Along with the tamles and chucitos the children receive montucas which contains a very nutritious vegetable here called chipilin. At the moment there are pineapples and melons in the market so we are able to offer these as well.

The children love all the great food we are able to provide them. Many children come to school on an empty stomach and we would like to expand this program to include more fruits and vegetables. We also have more students than ever and we believe the food program is drawing the children to our school and giving them an opportunity to receive an education and a well- balanced diet.

Thank you so much for the support, it's great to see how effective something as simple as this can be.
