I'm climbing Machu Picchu to raise money for the Ottawa School Breakfast Program which provides nutritious breakfasts to Ottawa school children. Even in our nation's capital, more than 11,000 kids have hunger as their constant companion. Your own heart (along with many studies) tells you that it's hard to learn when you are fighting hunger.
Despite my fear of heights (and I'm told the cliff-face up Machu Picchu is NOT going to be fun), I'm going to conquer my fear on behalf of the kids.
Decades ago, I was one of those kids. A combination of poverty and neglect meant that breakfast and lunch were rarities. I wish there had been a program like this one in place. It could have made a huge difference. I ask for your help in raising 5,000 breakfasts ($5,000). |
I have chosen to support: OCRI School Breakfast Program |

In the city of Ottawa approximately 11,000 children in 146 schools begin
each school day with a nutritious meal provided by the School Breakfast
Program. The program provides funding for equipment, program monitors
and food. Two independent evaluations of the School Breakfast Program
demonstrated that students who are fed a nutritious breakfast make
significant improvements in learning, school attendance, behaviour
and self-esteem.
Purpose
To improve the ability of children in-need to learn |
