Please sir, may I have some more?
Said Oliver Twist to the porridge server, and we’re saying the same 🙂 Our school’s children need more food. As you have read in recent posts, we have got our seats and desks, we’ve got our water tank, and our kitchen has a roof – thank God.

Atlas Vegan Community School Teacher Asks for Help
He is a maths and English teacher and is pleased to tell us the children, some of whom were so deprived of education that they couldn’t even write their own names, are now making progress.

Back to School
So, the 9th of May arrived and Atlas was ready – well, it had met the minimum requirements demanded by the Ministry of Education, so they were able to let the kids come back to school. Whilst they were hugely relieved that they could do that, things were far from ideal. They had spent everything they had on building work, so they couldn’t afford to…
