Every morning, Monday to Friday a feeding program occurs in the parish. The cooks begin to prepare the food at 7am and the children arrive with their mothers to receive their food at 10:30 am. The program feeds between 40 and 60 children and mothers. The children are all fed first - a generous helping or rice, some soup/stew and a fish or meat ball. Next, all the mothers are given their food. The meal is a vital source of nutrition for the children and mothers who attend.
