Christmas Baskets for the Students
Story
Looking forward to Christmas and the end of the Bolivian school year, we would like to plan ahead for our in-person Christmas Party this year. With the pandemic mainly behind us, the students are enthusiastic and surging ahead, as we have seen with the large numbers of students who won bonuses for their very good grades this year. With our Christmas Baskets we would like to bring smiles to their faces and share some holiday cheer with our students who have made a tremendous effort all year.
Impact
Throughout the year, Helping Hands provides monthly supplementary food baskets for 24 of our most needy families where we stress vegetables, fruits and high protein foods to improve the nutrition of our students. At the Christmas party we would like to provide every student with a Christmas Basket to celebrate the season and bring joy and encouragement to our hard working students.
Challenge
Malnutrition remains a major health concern in Bolivia, so besides meeting basic food needs, the Christmas Baskets will bring cheer and joy during the holiday season as this special Christmas bread, or Paneton as it is called in Bolivia, served with hot chocolate is a family tradition at Christmas time, a time for people to come together and share goodwill. We want to spread cheer in our students and their families and give them a boost to begin 2023.
