Making a porridge

In the picture as you can see is

a pot of porridge or here they 

call it bouille (pronounced 'bui').

Part of our efforts will be to

address nutrition, especially as it pertains to children under five

years old.

One of the recipes is the bouille

you see in the photo.

This recipe consisted of water, 

flour, peanut butter, sugar, powdered milk, bananas and 

the pounded leaves of a

moringa tree.

The leaves of the moringa are

full of nutrition and is an easy

supplement to add to the 

porridge.

Plus any other foods like fruit

can be added. It seems to be

only limited by the imagination.

The mixture is not cooked

till it becomes thick but it is

taken off the fire when it is 

a little more viscous than

soup.

It tastes good and should help

to keep the young children 

in our new villages strong 

and healthy.
