In Madama, the headmistress together with the former Headmaster of the Madama Boys' School suggested school breakfasts. We want to make it happen and we plan to start in September with breakfasts for Grades 1-4, the youngest co-ed students.

£5, a little more than the price of a coffee, will provide breakfast for a child for a school week.
