Week 31 - There is no shortage of things to do in order to help those in need. People need you in your own community, so this is what I thought Paige and I should focus on. I think we are very lucky and fortunate to have healthy food at our fingertips. To open the fridge when hungry and make what we want. To start the day with a healthy breakfast. I can’t imagine having to function while hungry.
I came across an organization on the internet called ‘Halton Food for Thought’. Their endeavour is to take healthy food/snacks to schools that have students who are unable to have breakfast in the morning before school.
From their website:
“Students arriving at school hungry do not perform well in the classroom. They have more difficulty concentrating, display behavioural problems, are less alert and are often lethargic.”
”Our current goal for Food for Thought is to have a nutrition program in every school by 2013, as we believe that no child or youth in Halton Region should go hungry!”
So, I picked up Paige and bought some healthy snacks, breakfast cereal, granola bars, juice packs, cans of tuna, chicken.....ect. We stopped by Amy and Dons house to borrow their digital camera and headed out (FYI...after we left, Don went out and bought Paige her own camera to use for her 52 weeks of giving. So wicked!!!! Thanks Don). We headed over to Teresa’s, who runs this much needed program out of her home!!! We chatted with her for a while and she told us all about the basket program. So great!!!!
I know Paige was happy that she was able to help out in giving students a great start to their day!! She continues to make the world a better place. Go Paige Go!!!
Please have a look at what Halton Food For Thought is about. http://www.haltonfoodforthought.ca/
