Vision Statement:

1. Love Soup envisions To provide lunches directly into schools  for our families who maybe struggling.

To Break the Stigma in many of our cultures and encourage them to open up and ask for help via thier childs school. For some families this kind of hardship is stressful and stress they don't need. I plan to lighten that stress and    break down the walls of pride and that feeling of embarrassment around this issue. No child should go without  education simply because they have no lunch.  Feeding our Tamariki so they may grow up to be Thrivers & Leaders for their future generations.

This movement will be monitered via the schools that are partisapating. It is totally confidentiality between the  staff and students and has nothing to do with me. This helps open up the awareness and prevents my movement being abused. My mission is to supply the packs and drop them off to the schools office or headmaster then it's job completed.  :)
