We didn't want to use paper or plastic bags because that could be embarrassing for the kids. You never know what's in a backpack, so the kids won't be ashamed of getting food.

That's why we try to get stuff that is easy to prepare. And originally, it started out just being for the children, but we found out that everyone in the family was getting use out of the packs.

My students make me feel proud. People always say one person can't make a difference, but I have proof that these kids have made a difference.
