The quantities of food are generous and flavorful. The children around me at a table eat the entire full serving. Usually, I ask for a smaller portion. I am full before I come to the end.
The menu is determined by the kitchen staff and the village administrator. They take into account the vegetables growing in the large garden. The menu is approved by U.S. doctors after they determine the protein and other dietary requirements for the children.
Older boys and girls are served chai tea at dinner. Ugali is a Kenyan staple made from maize (corn).
The food is delivered to the table in large bowls and then served to each child by the Mama. Each child helps clean up the table by stacking dishes, carrying them to the kitchen, gathering cloth napkins, silverware, and drinking glasses and returning them to the kitchen. The little amount of garbage is collected in a bucket and saved. A man who owns pigs comes by and picks up the garbage.
