http://www.globalpartnership.org - Walking from village to school can take a long time for children in Laos. Children who went home for lunch often wouldn't return to class.

So to improve education for all, Laos introduced a national program that offers free meals at the school. Thanks to funding from the Global Partnership for Education, the whole community is actively involved gardening, fishing, and cooking --  so that every child will be well nourished and educated.
