School Meals: First Montly Report.

These 2 photographs show children having their meal.

20 randomly selected daily log books were collected by the Rwanda Coordinator as a source of feedback.

The log books are divided into 12 columns indicating date, amount of food, state of food i.e. burnt, too salted, badly kept (smelly), cleanliness of crockery, cleanliness of staff both physical and uniform, pre-meal hand washing, cleanliness of toilet (long hole), drinking water (boiled or not), and finally additional comments i.e. suggestions or areas needing improvements

So far, all comments have been positive. On interview, kids reported that they are studying better now and hope to pass the national test. Literally, they said "an empty stomach has no ear", a widely known local saying.

The head teacher reports that now school attendance is 100%, i.e. absenteeism is 0% including even Saturdays!

The minister's daily log book was not collected because he was involved in baptism when the Coordinator passed at the school.
