Just One:  Shiva Ji Mission School 3 Days in October

10/22/2016

 
Picture
During October, Just One Hunger Initiative held 3 of their weekly fruit distributions on October 1, 14 and October 22 at the Shiva Ji Mission School These programs saw bananas distributed to the approximately 300 children now attending the Shiva Ji Mission School.
 
Over the past 2 months since the school reopened after summer break, there has been a gradual increase in the number of children attending, until now the school has again reached its pre-summer break levels. This year the distribution of children’s ages is very different to the previous year. There are far fewer older children who have returned, and the balance seems to have tipped towards a much younger set of students – six years and under – with may of them seeming almost too small to actually be attending school.

However both in terms of education received at the school and nutrition received through the Just One program sponsorship, this younger age group has many benefits. Gaining an education, however brief, is an asset for these children and by starting at an early age they have the opportunity to gain more years of education. Equally having regular access to the denser nutrition provided at the school through the Just One program at an earlier age provides a more solid base for their future growth. Just One continues to support this neighbourhood school to provide a sound base in all aspects of these slum children’s lives and so provides greater opportunities than would otherwise be available.
