Being overweight and poor are hard for kids going thru school. After working at our local school for 8 years, I saw the way those kids got ignored, bullied, and made fun of. It always broke my heart for the kids and I would be upset with the ones making fun. I would try my best to make each underprivileged child feel special. Sounds like your friends need someone to do the same for them.
Possibly this summer could you help with the weight problem by getting them to exercise, play ball any kind of physical activity? Also, talk to them, let them know they are special and important in this world. Remind them they are every bit as good as any child with new clothes and money!
Also, I think it a wonderful idea to donate clothing, school supplies, etc. for these kids! Do you have a few Mom friends there you could get to help?
