When storms pass through, the hut shakes. \u201cI just wait and hold my daughter tight,\u201d Khon says. Sokhat is Khon\u2019s only child; her pride and joy \u2013 and while she owns little more than the small hut and the clothes on her back, she would give the world to Sokhat if she could. \u201cIf I had money I would give it to Sokhat for her to get snacks,\u201d she says, \u201cbut I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today is a good day for Sokhat and her mother Khon. A large bag of rice and a tin of oil has just arrived at their home, which provides them with two months\u2019 worth of meals. \u201cI like my mum\u2019s cooking,\u201d Sokhat says. \u201cShe uses the rice and cooks vegetables and sometimes fish.\u201d Not only is Sokhat eating well at home, at school she receives breakfast every day before class too. \u201cAfter breakfast I feel full. It\u2019s good. It tastes good too.\u201d What Sokhat doesn\u2019t realise, is that without this food support, she would be forced to skip meals, and even be made to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program has changed my life and it helps my daughter go to school,\u201d says Kohn.<\/p>\n<p>Through our support of the school feeding program, thousands of children like Sokhat will now receive a healthy breakfast so they too can learn and thrive.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1637296737 {\n  padding-top: 15px;\n  padding-bottom: 15px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #section_1637296737 {\n    padding-top: 15px;\n    padding-bottom: 15px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #section_1637296737 {\n    padding-top: 30px;\n    padding-bottom: 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2561,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-transparent-header-light.php","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2590"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2590"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2600,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2590\/revisions\/2600"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholekids.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
