the cooks

These women insisted I take their photo as I was leaving. They are the cooks who prepare the meals that the children are served at midday as part of the programme. They make everything from rice to beans to protein-heavy mixtures of maize and porridge. The school's head teacher told me two of them have not been paid for about six months and are constantly threatening to quit. This has been a problem in many of the schools across the country.
