There are over 30 students out of 84 that attend the Jr. High who live in extreme poverty and cannot afford to buy a meal at school. The Jr. High does not have free lunch for the students, so it has a kitchen where food can be purchased. Some students take minimal amount of food to get them through the day at school. Other students have breakfast at home before school, and have to wait until after school to eat at home as their parents cannot afford extra food for lunch during school. It is hard to learn while having an empty stomach. We are currently sponsoring the meal for 6 students at the moment. It cost $20 pesos a day for a student to get a meal. That’s $1.18 US dollars a day, school lunch from Monday through Friday cost is $5.88 a week. With a recruiting monthly donation of $25 you can sponsor a student to have a meal for q whole month.
