A good lunch is necessary for students at school. However, in this country, some families find it hard to afford their kids’ lunches at school.

For that reason, a charity group (慈善组织) called Eat Up gives out free lunches to schools in poor areas. A set of free lunch includes a cheese sandwich and a cup of milk. It can offer enough energy to students and help them work better in class.

“It’s good that students come to school feeling safe. They don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from,” said Mr. Riley, a teacher from a school which gets free lunches. “And we know if they are well fed, they are going to have the energy levels to get through the school day and maximize (最大化) their learning.”

So far, over 3 million sandwiches have been given out in more than 720 schools around the country every week. Thousands of poor students benefit from them.

Eat Up plan to make lunch better by adding more fruits in the near future. They are teaming up with more organizations and companies now.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how:

Step 1: Boil the eggs. Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath.

Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter!

Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be.

Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don’t leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.
