alive ( a sachet feeds around 6 and contains – rice, lentils and soya plus a vitamin and

mineral sachet inside. People may add vegetables or fruit to the meal if they are able in

these countries. This could keep a child alive for up to 4 days. )

Explain that children are often given this meal in schools or education programmes as an

incentive to learn and to give them energy each day to walk to school and to help their

concentration for learning. If they don't get food its harder to learn.

Ask the children if they can guess how much it costs to feed a child for a month. The £4 a

month will likely surprise the children. Explain how money can go so much further in a

country like Kenya or Uganda. Compare with the children what they could get for £4 here,

its isn't even 2 McDonald happy meals!!

The powerpoint available will show pictures of children getting food in a refugee camp in

Uganda where feed the hungry is helping feed children.

Props – powerpoint available , packets of food, bowl, sporks

Conclusion/Application

We can stand up and speak out for whats right and for fairness in our communities, we

can tackle issues such as bullying and prejudices such as race, social class.

We can be global citizens of change. War and famine brings injustice upon people, we

may not be able to stop the injustice of it but we can do something to act upon it and help

those in need. Acting is justice, and playing our part is doing right by these people found in

horrible hardships. Just because its not happening in our country, doesn't mean we cannot

help, we can do something . Explain how playing their part could mean a difference to life

or death for a child.

e.g A coat and a sleeping bag could stop them getting phenomena in the winer and save

their life.

Giving £4 may mean another child wont starve to death that month

At this point you can encourage the children to collect clothes for refuges or you could with

the teachers lead and permission encourage a fundraiser they can help plan to help feed

more children with feed the hungry.
