What are you eating there? How much food do you get?

Eating poscha porridge with the kids at one of the orphanages.

During the day we are fed at the schools, we get the fancy food… rice, dried peas, potatoes. At night it is usually more of the same.  Eating here is about eating to live, mostly high calorie, and high volume foods. There is not a lot of variety here. I eat a lot less here then when I am at home. We do get fruit like pineapple, mango and banana in the mornings. They also have a flat bread here called Chapati which is very good. My favorite treat is to stop and buy one from a stand on the way home and then cover it in peanut butter.
