The school boy who paid off thousands of school lunch debts

An 8-year-old school boy in Michigan, US, has launched a campaign to pay overdue school lunch bills. He's raised $11,000 and paid for 4,000 meals so far.

Cayden Taipalus recently watched as one of his school friends was denied a cooked lunch because there was no money left on his lunch account.

Seeing how upset the boy was after he was offered a cheese sandwich instead of a hot meal, Cayden decided to do something to help low-income kids in his school.

He and his mum Amber told Mark Whittaker on BBC's Business Matters about their campaign.
