Food Support @ MTS

????? School meals hold incredible potential and offer a multitude of objectives and benefits. In developing countries, they play a crucial role in addressing food security during times of crisis, nurturing the health and potential of children. By breaking the cycle of poverty and hunger, these meals pave the way for a brighter future. ????

????? It is wonderful that Yayasan MENDAKI has recognized that free student meals make a profound impact on communities and individuals alike! In these contexts, they serve as more than just a source of nutrition. They foster a host of advantages that uplift society as a whole. ????

?? Additionally, they ensure that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has access to nourishment, love and support. These meals become a symbol of unity and an unwavering commitment to social equity. ??????

???? Not only do they provide sustenance, they become a powerful incentive for children, to embrace education and pursue their dreams. By removing barriers to schooling, these meals empower young minds to thrive and create a better tomorrow. ????

?? To enhance the programme further, we incorporate the teaching of values such as gratitude through the act of giving thanks. Through gratitude, students learn to shift their focus from what they lack to what they possess. They understand the importance of finding joy in the simple things and expressing gratitude for even the smallest acts of kindness. This mindset encourages resilience, contentment and a positive outlook on life. ????

???? An indirect but also powerful corollary of the free meals programms is that mealtime conversations provide tutors with valuable insights into students' interests, aspirations, and personal experiences. It allows them to connect on a more personal level, discovering shared passions and forging stronger bonds. In turn, students feel seen, heard and valued as individuals, which contributes to their overall well-being and academic success. ????

?? Personally, it's awe-inspiring to witness the transformation that education brings to their lives, watching students grow in knowledge, confidence and resilience. And now, as part of this free meal program, I am privileged to contribute to their overall well-being, ensuring that hunger doesn't hinder their ability to learn and thrive. ???????

???? The joy that fills my heart is immeasurable when I see the students' smiles as they enjoy a nutritious meal. Knowing that I play a part in their academic and physical nourishment fuels my passion. I am honored to be able to provide not only knowledge but also sustenance to support their growth. ????

Please do get in touch if any kind souls would like to contribute to this awesome initiative. The centre supports around 100 students on Saturdays. I'd love to add some fruits to the menu. Together, we make a difference!
