We have had such a wonderful response to <a href=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/index.php\/feeding-programme-update\/\">our plea <\/a>to continue and expand the Feeding Programme.<\/p>\n<p>The children we work with in Chinhoyi are from very deprived families who struggle to survive. This means many children often arrive at school extremely hungry.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/index.php\/primary-school-feeding-programme\/\">Feeding Programme<\/a> has already brought relief to so many of these children. However, in 2015 we were only able to feed the very youngest children at Chinhoyi Primary. This meant that we had to turn away the older children, who were also hungry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2013-07-23-10.20.53.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[815]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-819 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2013-07-23-10.20.53-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"2013-07-23 10.20.53\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2013-07-23-10.20.53-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2013-07-23-10.20.53-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, the severity of the problem with <strong>all <\/strong>children attending the school was soon realised. The Headmaster found out that some children were going without food for periods of up to two days.<\/p>\n<p>Because of your recent support, we are happy to say that we can now continue the programme into 2016. Not only this, we can now also make the programme available to the WHOLE primary school! Thanks to your donations, we can ensure the older children are also well-fed and ready to thrive in their learning!<\/p>\n<p>2016 still looks to be another difficult time with more drought predictions. However with your loyalty and support we can bring light and hope to their lives!<\/p>\n<p>Our aim is to expand the programme to the neighbouring schools in this deprived, rural area, where more children are faced with hunger every day. Providing food will help improve these children\u2019s concentration and performance at school. It will also give them further incentive to attend their classes rather than going out to work or beg.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2013-07-23-10.31.04.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[815]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-804 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2013-07-23-10.31.04-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"2013-07-23 10.31.04\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2013-07-23-10.31.04-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zimbabweschildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2013-07-23-10.31.04-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We would like to say a very sincere thank you to all our loyal supporters!
