Someone from the UN World Food Program sent me the story of a 13-year-old Kenyan girl named Molly, who has video’d her life and, in particular, her school meals.

The material that Molly filmed is particularly appealing and important because it enables her to speak for herself about why school meals are important to her and her friends. The UN World Food Program set up a YouTube channel for Molly.

And she has recently been featured on CNN.

Also the above photo was taken by Rein Skullerud, who visited her and produced a kind of “Day in the Life” photo gallery. You can see the photo gallery here.

Please check out her story and let me know what you think.

Kenya School Lunch - Avocado

Country: Kenya

Contents: Avocado

Notes: Obviously pretty scant, but certainly nutritious. When malnutrition is so widespread, the fats from the avocado are invaluable. From Wikipedia: About 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat. Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K. They have a high fiber content among fruits - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.
