United Happy Meals
the "United Happy Meals" flyer created to assist those wonderful families and friends taking in children from Latin countries, in understanding what foods they most commonly eat. We know the trauma some children face in an unfamiliar country, culture, and language. In many instances, some have been separated from a parent and placed in foster care. The "United Happy Meals" flyer is simply to bring awareness to what some cultures are familiar with and to avoid confusion when a child doesn't eat milk and cereal, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, hamburgers, and chicken tenders. Many are used to eating a heavy breakfast and lunch with a light dinner.
