If anyone doubts that for the kids of Kasisi breakfast is the most important meal of the day, come check it out. Just abandon plans to sleep in, because from six o’clock in the morning, whether it’s Wednesday or Saturday, there’s a long queue full of children’s laughter outside the dining room!
And if you do sleep through breakfast, however, the auntie will have no mercy – she’ll come in with a full plate and tell you not to fool around. We write from experience!
The aunties just keep an eye on maintaining stable energy levels in Kasisi. If it wasn’t for breakfast, where would James get the energy to disassemble electronic devices? How would Blessing Mapalo climb walls like spiderman? Even the always-smiling Hilaria wouldn’t be laughing if her favourite scrambled eggs vanished from her plate.
Today’s European breakfast day may be symbolic, but for our kids a healthy breakfast is a really, really basic need. Kasisi is powered by morning plates of nshima (gruel), scrambled eggs and the obligatory green side dish. The Belchatow power station can not compete.
Take a look in the pantry today and give the kids each a plate of wholesome breakfast!
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
