Every morning, hundreds of children get a nutritious breakfast in one of Children of The Americas' 5 nutrition centers in Tijuana, Mexico. Before heading for school, the children fill empty bellies at centers in four of the border city's colonias: Panamericana, Genaro Vasquez, La Gloria and Tecolote--as well as more remote Ejido Lazaro Cardenas. The five centers are sources of real hope in the lives of children struggling to find their place in the sun. The 7 a.m. meal is prepared by 30-plus mother-volunteers in the colonias, and may include milk and fruit. Or hot cereal with raisins. Or pancakes. Or tortillas and cheese. Or beans and eggs. Too often, it's the one full meal the kids get each day. After a meal and some TLC, the kids pray for all who help feed them and then head for school, ready to learn. The links below describe the program, list needed food, provide ready to copy flyers, and give some ideas and techniques for gathering food.
