BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS IN SCHOOLS
The Lunchbowl Network has a team of School Ambassadors who present assemblies, lessons and give personal feedback to schools including hand-made thank you pictures from the children in Kibera. If you would like to find out more about one of our school ambassadors visiting your school, or if you'd like to be an ambassador for us please contact us.
We are able to offer assemblies to link with harvest, anti-bullying week, Christmas and Mother’s Day, or we would be delighted to personalise assemblies to link with whole school themes.

As well as fundraising, schools can also collect items for us to send out to Kibera, such as underwear and used school shoes. In the lead up to the end of term you could advertise the last day being a flip flop day. We send out school shoes which still have life in them to our children in Nairobi..In December we can provide schools with Santa Sacks to fill with much needed socks, tights and underwear as a gift to the children in Kibera click here to find out how you can get involved.

TESTIMONIALS
Jane White, Primary Headteacher, London Borough of Merton:"The Lunchbowl Network has inspired many of our children to reflect upon their own lives and plan ways to raise funds for this wonderful charity. Merton Headteachers have supported the project for many years and have seen the enormous impact of Sally and her team on an enormously challenging area of child poverty in Kenya. We hope many others schools will catch the vision and share in the work of The Lunchbowl Network."
Mrs R Allen, Deputy Headteacher, Rosebery School Epsom (Comprehensive School) We have made the Lunchbowl Network our chosen charity for this term. After introducing the charity to the whole school in assemblies, using the very helpful materials provided by the Network, I was stunned by the positive response from students and staff. The simplicity of the message that 33p could really make a difference in Kibera was very powerful and I think encouraged many students who wouldn't normally get involved in extra activities to do so. With very little input from me, students from Yr7 to Yr13 have independently created a week of fundraising activities and have set the challenge to the school to feed 3000 children by Christmas. We are well on the way to achieving that goal.
Mrs B Gathercole, Luckley House School Berkshire, Independent School for Girls aged 11 to 18 years
As a secondary school teacher, responsible for RE and PSHE, I find that many of the girls really do not know much about real life for children in difficult situations. The Lunchbowl Network is a great way to show them real problems and also enables them to be a part of the solution by engaging with the fund-raising suggestions, where a small contribution from them will feed a number of children.
The assembly presentation with a short video was very powerful and really motivated the girls and staff to want to help. The elephant key-rings were a great success!
I would definitely recommend the Lunchbowl Network as a real and accessible way to teach values and other aspects of the citizenship curriculum."
