Rice is the most important food in Malagasy culture. See website. When we received the pictures in this report they came with a comment: “children eating rice“. It gave us a really good laugh, because it is basically the only thing that is blatantly obvious in the photos.
But there is more to the story. The tagline should have been: children eating our rice as their school meal. In our befoe last microcredit report (see website) we talked about distributing our Zahana rice to our schools. It is our one ton from Fiarenana’s rice bank. This is why the students are eating our rice. Much to their delight they are now eating rice twice a week and mofo gasy, the rice cakes, the other three.
A happy student is a good student. And the student who gets rice instead of sitting in the classroom hungry all day is a happy student.
