Feeding for bonding
Yes, a children feeding program can be a great way to help build relationships and trust with children. Providing food and nourishment can create a sense of security and care, which can help children feel more comfortable opening up and sharing their thoughts and feelings.
Always grateful to you all who make this program a success.
In addition, sharing a meal with children can create a relaxed and informal atmosphere that can make it easier to engage them in discussions about important topics such as life skills, health, and well-being. By providing a safe and welcoming space for children to share their thoughts and feelings, you can help them develop important social and emotional skills, such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving.
Overall, a children feeding program can be a powerful tool for promoting positive relationships and helping children build the skills they need to succeed in life.

The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement.
