Autumn in Malagiri

Recent news from Malagiri conveys a very positive and settled picture. Now that the colder weather is coming to the village, the daily hot meal is even more important for the children’s health. The menu is generally traditional variations on dhal, rice or freshly made flat bread and vegetables with the occasional addition of meat or egg. The children often enjoy fruit at snack times too. The children understand the importance of good hygiene. They are fortunate to have access to running water and use soap to wash their hands before every meal.

Two cooks from the local community are employed to prepare the meals every day for the children and staff. Thuli Gomja and Sulaxmi Thokar take pride in their work and, in a subsistence farming area, their wages make a big difference to their families as well as the local economy.
