Today Just One are providing a full hot meal for these children. The meal consists of a chickpea, potato and vegetable curry, Indian fried bread (poori) and spiced rice pudding (kheer). As always the children hungrily devour the meal and they display an amazing capacity for consuming food. We do serve small potions so as not to waste food, but still, the total quantity, especially the number of poori eaten, often seems to be more than many adults consume. It is a reminder of the reason that we chose to work with this school – the poor quality of nutrition for many of the students and the fact that this was making them too lethargic and too tired to learn. It is such a joy to see the difference now that their regular food has nutritious supplementation and to have this validated by there teachers and higher exam results.
