Their One Meal
Welcome to Lesotho, a country in southern Africa. A lot of the children in this town are orphans. Their parents have died from AIDS. Now they live with their relatives. But they don’t always have enough food. So sometimes they have to find their own food. Some of them wake up hungry every day.

But, now, as the sun sets they know it is time to eat. Children run down the road to a mud brick house where some women are cooking corn meal mash for their dinner. These women are members of the Seventh-day Adventist church across the street.

Inside the house the women prepare the mash. Every day children wait eagerly for their turn to eat. Mama, the woman in the big white hat, spoons out warm mash into a bowl and another woman pours milk over it. The children are glad that Mama and her friends feed them good food.

Now when the orphans go to school they don’t hear their growling tummies. They find it much easier to learn how to read and to do their math.
