Serving lunch at a government school


We went to a government school to serve the children their mid day meal. i played with the class which was 6th standard (6th grade). Although they are Emily's age, the kids were at least two sizes smaller than Emily because of mal-nutrition. The kids were very very smart and outgoing though. I played with them (actually I scared them when I came in). They saw me walking in but I was hiding behind the door and when they opened it I jumped out and scream and then they screamed and we all started laughing out loud.

Then they sang for us and did a dance before we served them lunch. They each have a metal plate, they get a scoop of rice and a scoop of curry soup. They go to the open space to sit down and then eat with their hands. They all came back for seconds and thirds!
