No milk, please.

The guest house workers where we held the training spent every spare minute hanging around the periphery and curiously peeking in on the classes.  We now have proof they were also listening and absorbing the information.  In our nutrition lesson one of the health workers asked if it would be more nutritious to add milk to their tea.  I replied that recent tests indicate that the nutritional value of tea may actually be reduced when milk is added (the milk apparently binds with the antioxidants).  When the little waiters were getting ready to serve us afternoon tea, one of them said, "I assume  you would like to change your order from milk-tea to plain black tea?"  Looks like we are now changing the world one cup of tea at a time....
