‘A simple child…
That lightly draws its breath
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?’
from ‘We Are Seven’ by William Wordsworth
The truth of the matter is that the children of India need our help. The country is home to nearly 44% of the world’s malnourished children and many do not have access to a single meal in a day. If food is not available, education is neglected, perpetuating the vicious cycle of poverty.
Against enormous odds, people are coming together to prevent this and help children stay in school. It is a massive endeavor which involves the kindness and support of the Government, the corporate sector and donors such as you. One meal a day can mean the difference between poverty and prosperity. We ask you now to support us by sponsoring a boy and a girl for a year. A healthy meal can make all the difference to a hungry child. It will help them stay in school where they belong. Their lives will be changed forever.
