It is 8:45 a. m. and a line of hungry children eagerly await breakfast outside a classroom. Moments later they burst in, running over to a table covered with cereals, spreads, milk and juice to enjoy a satisfying, healthy breakfast.

This is familiar for Cannel McConnell, founder of The Magic Breakfast, a charity that delivers morning meals to children who would otherwise go without.

Ms McConnell created her organization 16 years ago after hearing from school staff that they had to feed their pupils before lessons started, as many were so hungry as to sleep in class.

The Magic Breakfast has a simple goal: to remove child hunger in the mornings by 2020. It is an example of one of many organizations using fresh produce to handle food poverty.

The charity has 200 partner schools in the capital and another 280 across the rest of England. There are 60 London schools on the waiting list. On average, 49 pupils receive breakfast in each school, meaning the charity helps 9,800 young people in London every day.

Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact: “Every morning pupils come in, eat breakfast and socialise with one another. In terms of their academic development, they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy to get through the day and to learn.”

When asked about the obstacle to their goal, McConnell says, “The big thing we need, quite simply, is cash. The consequence (后果) of child hunger is that they will fail at school and we have to deal with fallout. Feeding hungry children so they can learn is no tough task. Breakfast is an ideal solution. As well as cash，we are looking for firms to donate food. I’d love for people to support us. And I’d love for us to proudly say we have sorted this problem out.”
