My wife was talking to one of the other parents about planning the meal. The parent was discussing one of the students. She said they never ask for money for the meal from this child. And when the activity requires the student to buy something later, someone makes sure he has something to eat.

The question now is what, if anything, can we do. How can we get involved in the life of this child? Never in my entire life have I nor my immediate family lacked something to eat.
The other question here is "Who has the greater need?" This child may need food. Our family needs an appreciation for that which we take for granted every single day. And in His great wisdom, He has brought this child and our family together, if for nothing else but for us to witness each other’s lives. And that answers that first question: we are involved in this child's life.
This is one of the reasons we have our children in public school. This is where we believe our family has been called.
