“The students are now excited, that’s the first we noticed. They are eager to learn and eager to listen to the lessons.”

Let’s take a trip to Hornalan Elementary School in the Philippines! During our visit, we had the opportunity to meet the students YOU bring joy to, hear from the teachers who see the impact of Thrive’s daily school meals, and experience firsthand the difference your support makes.

We met Elise, a student whose father works as a farmer while her mother works as a house cleaner in Manila and is often away from home. From playing hand games with Gina to sharing stories with Priscilla, Elise gave us a glimpse into her life and the joy that fills her school community.

Through Thrive’s daily school meal program, students at Hornalan Elementary School receive nutritious food that helps them stay energized, focused, and ready to learn. Teachers are already noticing positive changes in their classrooms, with students showing greater excitement and eagerness to participate in lessons.

From a Hornalan teacher: “They are eager to learn and eager to listen to the lessons.”

During our visit, Priscilla and Gina also had the opportunity to help distribute lunch, seeing firsthand the smiles and excitement that come with every meal.

Because of YOU, children at Hornalan Elementary School have access to nutritious meals, more opportunities to learn, and the support they need to pursue brighter futures.
