AFOI's Milk and Cookies Children's Program (3)

AFOI's Milk and Cookies Children's Program (3)

Perhaps the most effective measure of the MAC Program’s success is in statements made by those who have participated in it.

On AFOI’s website https://afoi.org/, under the heading “Why I like the Milk and Cookies Program…” statements from the child participants are provided. They read as follows:

  • It teaches me not to fight.
  • It helps me understand the deal with being a good friend.
  • It teaches me not to accept negative energy.
  • It teaches me Kwanzaa words.
  • It teaches me about things I should or should not say and to do what I should do.
  • It helps me how I can control my anger at school and at home.
  • I get taught new things.
  • It teaches me to be nice to people who are nice to you.
  • It teaches me to walk away from bad things.
  • It taught me how to get over my anger.
  • I get along and it makes me feel better about my father.
