Food for a Day

What you see before you is a serving of beans and posho. This is what the children at the Care Point in Oditel, Uganda are served twice a day. Some only are able to get one meal. I was talking to a guy from work about overseas travel yesterday and I was impressing on him to take time to mull over the experiences he has (he's going to Jerusalem). Unless you spend time internalizing things, you run the risk of returning to your life without any lasting effect.

 

Today at work, we're having our lunch catered by some really great cooks. It's surprising to me that now is the time when I can't help thinking about this bowl of two simple foods. I don't want to forget what it symbolizes especially to the children who eat it day in and day out.
