No child should go hungry.
But right now, thousands of children living in refugee settlements – just like Isaac, Joy Patience, and Andrew – are going without daily meals. On Thursday 21st Sonshine is teaming up with Christian radio stations across Australia to change that, through Take Away Hunger Day.
Every Plate Counts
For children in places like the Kiryandongo refugee settlement in Uganda, a hot school lunch isn’t just food, it’s a lifeline.
Take Isaac, a 16-year-old refugee who lost both his parents. He’s bright, funny, and full of dreams, but when he returns home after school, there’s often nothing to eat.
“I feel fresh when I eat at school. It gives me the energy to learn,” he says. “Please, bring more meals so that we don’t starve.”
Or Joy Patience, 12, who fled violence in South Sudan and suffers from chronic eye infections. She hasn’t seen her parents since escaping in 2014. “When it’s lunchtime at school, we’re happy… we can learn and understand well.”
Or Andrew, who witnessed the death of his sister while fleeing war. He used to go barefoot, laughed at by classmates. But now, with food in his stomach and shoes he worked hard to buy, he can focus on class and dream of becoming a scientist.
These stories are heartbreaking – but they’re also filled with hope. Hope that is made possible because of generous people like you.
