School dinners...Posho and spice and everything nice...

Beans and Posho ( somewhere between mash and rice and made of maize ) is served every lunch and every supper every day. Students often save some of their evening rations to consume in the long morning between wake-up (4.30am) and breakfast (10.30am), this they call 'cold power'.

Tina is not only the matron at Hoy's college but she is also chief brewer...



While Tina is chief brewer, Herbert, who has other innumerable jobs, is chief 'mingler'. An 'umingled' posho is no posho at all...

Occasionally Matooke - unsweet bananas - and pretty much 'the' national dish will be prepared for staff and the perfect accompaniment is a groundnut sauce...

High days and holidays bring MEAT...

Happy recipients queue patiently...
