One teacher shared her lunch with a hungry pupil, the next day she found herself bringing 2 sandwiches, but was still sharing hers with another student. Too many children were coming to school to hungry to learn. Soon she was laying a small breakfast bar in her classroom each morning, recognizing how a nutritious breakfast fortifies her students with energy to focus.

​

Another teacher was concerned about child’s negligence with her homework. After speaking o her parent she understood that they were overwhelmed with caring for a special needs sibling. They trusted the child to do homework independently. The child was bright but was too distracted and stressed to focus.   With the parent’s consent, the teacher arranged a small homework group where peers and volunteers would work together.                            

 

From 2 lucky students, the number of children benefiting from simple kindness grew. Teachers were joined by community activist and social worker and support over 400 children today.

​

And while it’s not the beginning, it’s nowhere near the end of these magical moments.
