“My child does not eat fruits. Can you please help in getting my child to understand the importance of including fruits in every meal?”

-          A parent’s request during the School Hall meeting.

The very next week saw the introduction of ‘FRUITday friday' for all children in all A Schools. We asked parents to send fruits and only fruits as snack for the child in school. The response was overwhelming in the variety of fruits that were sent and the manner in which it was prepared.

Was there any child that left school that day without eating fruits? Not at all! Since then we have continued to have FRUITday friday for every Friday. Children not only began to eat fruits, but began to want different kinds of fruits every Friday. Children even started wanting that their parents buy fruits everyday!
