"There was so much joy among the children,"
Heydy, Food For The Poor's in-country partner representative for Honduras said. She was describing the moment Student Kits were distributed to kids at the Francisco Morazan Elemenary School in the impoverished community of El Tambor, Marcovia, municipality in Honduras.
For some children who have grown up living in poverty, school is not a priority. Many have to leave school to enter the workforce at a young age. Others have to make caring for their siblings a priority. And for others, school just isn't their priority - because it hasn't been for generations.
This school was built by Food For The Poor and its in-country partner, with the purpose of allowing children living in poverty to have more opportunities and improved education.
The students are provided with the tools they need to succeed, encouraging them to get an education — one of the biggest keys in breaking the cycle of poverty.
"Children become more interested in learning and look forward to attending school when they have the supplies they need," Heydy said. "Thank you for this wonderful donation that will serve to motivate our children."
School supplies that seem so simple and available to us could make an impact that changes the course of a child's life.
