School Lunches

Lunch at Emfundweni Primary is rather different than American school lunches.  At Emfundweni, the students are served a fresh hot lunch which comes from their very own garden.  The lunch at Emfundweni is far more healthier than the preservative packed processed lunch in American schools.  Community volunteers come out early each morning to prepare the fresh lunch for the students.  Most of the volunteers are parents of students who attend Emfundweni.  The meals mainly consist of fresh vegetables, porridge, and fish.  Fish is the only meat that is served on a consistent basis.  This photograph depicts a typical lunch served at Emfundweni.
