Homework – Walk Against Hunger CAFOD For Lent CAFOD are asking schools around England and Wales to Walk Against Hunger. The charity will be sharing stories from Sierra Leone and asking schools to walk to help children like Lombeh. When she was a baby, Lombeh was dangerously malnourished. One day, her mother Amie met a group of women walking along the road. They were new mothers just like herself and they told her about a CAFOD-funded clinic where Amie was taught how to make a highly nutritious food paste from a traditional recipe – perfect for malnourished babies – and it helped Lombeh get better and grow. Now Amie is teaching other new mums in her local community how to make the baby food. No child should go hungry. By challenging ourselves to walk and raise awareness this Lent, we can help children like Lombeh to get what they need to grow up strong, healthy and happy. Watch this film to find out more: https://cafod.org.uk/Education/Primary-teaching-resources/Lent-resources-for-children
TASK 1: Create a ‘Walk Against Hunger’ poster Use your creative skills to make a poster raising awareness for CAFOD’S Lenten charity appeal ‘Walk Against Water’. Be creative! Think outside the box! You may wish to add a slogan to your work e.g. ‘No child should go hungry’, ‘We’re walking for the children of Sierra Leone’, ‘We’re stamping out hunger!’, ‘We’re walking against hunger’. Upload your work to your online learning platform (Seesaw/Google Classroom) or give your work to your class teacher.
or TASK 2: Take a photograph of you ‘Walking Against Hunger’ You may wish to send in a photograph of you walking with your family, walking with your school friends or even walking your dog!
