24.01.2022 Mum-of-three Rebecca is a volunteer cook at Lokirikipi nursery in Turkana, Kenya where 85% of children live in poverty and 50% don’t go to school. The nurse...ry is a simple building, surrounded by desert sands. A corrugated tin roof and a collection of branches provide the only shade from the scorching sun. Each day, Rebecca makes several trips to fetch water from the river, so she can prepare Mary’s Meals over an open fire. She didn’t get the chance to go to school herself, but Rebecca is happy to volunteer because she knows how important food and education are for children growing up in this remote community: I hope that all the children finish school. The food that Mary’s Meals is bringing is making them healthy.

11.01.2022 For girls like Khushbhoo from India, education is the key to unlocking life’s opportunities. It also gives her a chance to meet other children and make friends:... School is important because it’s a place where children can gather to learn and play together. Khushbhoo often comes to school hungry, so the meal she receives at lunchtime makes a big difference: After reading and writing and playing I feel tired and hungry. Mary’s Meals gives me strength and extra energy to study. The food provided all through the week is delicious! Thanks for feeding Khushboo’s hopes for the future: My role model is my class teacher, Miss Jyoti. I want to acquire more knowledge and would like to become a teacher.

09.01.2022 Growing up in the war-torn city of Aleppo in Syria can be a challenge, but Nadia likes to look on the bright side. Like many 14-year-olds, she enjoys spending t...ime with her cousins and has lots of friends at school. Nadia loves learning. She looks forward to her lessons and the tasty lunch provided by Mary’s Meals: I like all the food we receive at school. I want to be a good student. The meal gives me energy to study better. It helps me stay healthy and in a good mood. The streets around her may be filled with rubble, but Nadia is determined to build a better life and she knows that education is the key: I cannot imagine myself without school. I would miss my friends and the meal. I want to be a pharmacist. Going to school will help me to make a better future.
