How to improve school meals: Youth perspectives from the Nutrition Dialogues - World Education Blog
Growing up in Kenya, education was hailed as the gateway to a great life, development and success. Despite coming from a humble background, my parents ensured that we had nutritious food to eat every day, including local vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, we did not have meals in school and hence we had to run back home, about three miles from our school, for lunch every day, no matter whether it was a rainy or a sunny day.

By the time we got home, we had about 30 minutes to stand and gulp down the meal and then run back before the bell rang for the afternoon classes.
