I remember when I was a young girl, children in our neighborhood including me and my siblings gather in a small chapel every Saturday morning. A group of grown ups come to see us and give us some food-yummy oatmeal, mixed vegetables, powdered milk, juice, bread, and the like. They also meet with our parents and hold seminars about health, food sources, sanitation, and fitness.
My siblings and I loved all the food that was given to us. We didn’t pay attention to what the grown ups were talking about because we were fully occupied by the thought of those delicious foods. That was a very nice event held in our neighborhood that time. We were looking forward to Saturday mornings. But it didn’t last long though. Whoever those people were, we were very thankful that they came. Because they brought happiness to us kids and imparted awareness about proper nutrition to everybody in our neighborhood. It was memorable for us. It seemed to me that those people came to help and care for us.
It is great to know that there are groups or organizations who are helping needy communities especially the children. I just hope that they continue doing the noble jobs in order to bring hope and inspiration to young children.
What they do is admirable, it helps a lot of families.

I sincerely hope that various groups can continue to help small communities that need that help desperately. So glad one of them was able to help your community when you were a child.

I was glad too..unfortunately, it’s not happening anymore these days. 🙁
I have a friend that would with the Somalian community in a nearby neighborhood doing that same thing and arranging other education opportunities for them. She amazes me.
