The telecommunications company Digicel helped to bring healthy breakfasts to 400 schoolchildren in celebration of National Breakfast Day.

The group partnered with the Coalition for the Protection of Children for the occasion, which underlines the importance of children having a nutritious meal to start the day.

Volunteers from Digicel and the CPC visited 22 public schools and handed out a variety of meals to pupils, all with the help of other volunteers.
