Here's what "typical" meals look like for the kids at the Remand Homes.
And I say "typical" because that's if they have water.
And they only have water if they have electricity.
And the kids at M1 haven't had electricity for 3 weeks.
That means they haven't had running water for 3 weeks.
That means they have to walk a mile up the hill with their jerry cans to fetch water.
And a mile back down the hill.
But back to the food...
For breakfast, they have porridge.
Think of Cream of Wheat made with 3 cups extra water.
For their lunch/dinner (served around 3 pm), they have posho
and, if they are blessed, beans.
That's it.
Each and every day.
Except on select Saturdays
when folks like SixtyFeet, Lovelyn Palm, and the Andersson Family help out
and buy food for a Saturday "party".
The children then get some meat or fish, rice, and a fruit or vegetable.
Our dear friend, Lovelyn, is raising money to host a Saturday Party at 3 of the 7
Remand Homes in which SixtyFeet works.
Think you can help Lovelyn out with the parties tomorrow?
Even a couple of dollars will provide a healthy meal for several children.
And, don't you know, even prisoners have a right to healthy food.
