Monica

Monica is greeted joyfully when she walks through the school yard—all the children are excited she is there as the head cook!  Three days a week, Monica walks to school to cook meals of porridge or nshima for over 150 pupils at KCSOP.  “When we want to cook vegetable, I bring my own pot from home.  I feel so proud and strong to be able to help this way.”  Not only is Monica the head cook, she is also involved in changing the lives of the children as a Child Support Specialist, mentoring the emotional development of orphans at this school.  “Health Ed Connect encouraged me to be with the children here, and be humble with them.  I like what Health Ed Connect has taught me about how to help the children and how to help my community,” Monica says.
