I've blogged about the Shelter child sponsorship program before, and I thought I'd actually show you what that program can do in a children's home. These are a few pictures from lunch at Del Norte yesterday. A normal lunch and dinner in a children's home is rice, a tortilla, and either beans or ground beef. It's inexpensive and easily producible in mass quantities which is key when you're feeding 50 people three meals a day. Because of the extra income that the Shelter program provides, Del Norte is able to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm a big believer in kids getting well rounded and healthy food, and these kids really do love fruit in particular. Yesterday there was frozen grapes, watermelon, and a salad to go with lunch.
Maria wasn't super excited to have her picture taken. She said food pictures are strange. She's probably right!
Christian loved the frozen grapes, he ate tons of them and his cheeks puckered up every time.
David liked that the grapes were so cold, he said it was like eating delicious ice.
The big bowl of watermelon on the counter
Not too many kids ate salad, but who wants lettuce when there's grapes and watermelon!
