Summary: 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.

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.
