Gotta like our food!!!







This is how our food is cooked every day!! These ladies work SO HARD to prepare three meals a day for 1,400 students. They get to the cafeteria at 4am each day, except Sabbath. All of our meals are prepared over open fires and then taken into the cafeteria to be served. The chapatis (basically a whole wheat tortilla that is thin) are cooked six days per week. The ladies make nearly 2,000 chapatis every day and these are SO GOOD when they are warm. Our diet consists of white rice, potatoes (every day), dal (watery lentil soup), veggies (lots of pumpkin and squash) and chapatis. Tonya and I eat out of the cafeteria each day at lunch and then I take home the leftovers and heat them up for dinner. I do miss my food and we will be back in Khunti around October 31, 2007. We had a great time in the States and we really thank everyone for their time and support of Khunti School!! Hopefully soon, I will post a photo of the new generator that we were able to fund while in the States!!!
