This is the VOA Learning English Education Report.Mildred Auma lives in Kibera, a large and poor neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya.Every morning she wakes of her four-year-old son Augustine and gets him ready for school.The boy has a glass of milk and a piece of bread before he leaves home.Augustine is among only a few local students who get anything to eat before going to class.His school, the Seed School Kibera, began offering early childhood education to poor children seven years ago.Today 60 students are taking part in the program. They are from three to 14 years of age.Benjamin Odhiambo has taught at the school for the past two years. He says it helps both the minds and bodies of its students."The children look forward to the meals because most of these children come from less privileged families.This is the only meal they can afford within a day, so we are not just feeding them physically but we are also nourishing them intellectually," said Odhiambo.
