Most children have a fondness for cereal, and I share that enthusiasm. As a child, l yearned for it, likely due to its varied flavours, crunchy texture, and delicious taste.

In reality, my childhood breakfast seldom consisted of cereal rather of garri, (granulated cassava) occasionally sweetened with sugar or nuts.

Cereal’s scarcity made it a coveted treat. Sebi they say deprivation fuels cravings and I recall eagerly accepting cereal from a classmate, despite my mother’s instructions to never beg or collect things from others.

Jumokecares Foundation periodically distributes cereal boxes to children in need. Recently, over 200 boxes were delivered to Ogun state

Among the recipients, some likely shared my longing and I relate to their excitement.

Through Jumokecares Foundation’s cereal distributions, I see parallels with my own experience. Receiving cereal was a rare delight, inspiring hope that those children will pay it forward –
