children who because of
economic difficulties do
not have a regular
feeding, as some young
people come to school
without having breakfast
and whose only hot meal
is lunch provided by the
school. What our school
does to solve this
problem is to provide
these children a free
breakfast and free lunch,
ensuring this way that
they have two complete
meals a day.
