“We found out that it was because these students could not afford to buy data reloads to surf the Internet,” said a teacher who requested not to be named.“These students’ parents or guardians were forced to stay home with no income as they are paid on a daily basis. There are days when these families only eat plain porridge or a meal a day.She said a teacher who managed to speak with one girl was shocked by the hardship the student faced.“Most of the time, they have to choose food,” she said.
She said the girl, who has two sisters who are also studying in the same school, was from a single-parent household. “They also attend school on a rotational basis as they only have one pair of shoes to share among themselves but that problem had been solved,” added the teacher.“We also shared this information with our friends and family hoping to raise more funds and thankfully, we managed to get enough to prepare food baskets for over 50 families.
