Mark and Kathleen talk to each other from Meghalaya, in the east Khasi hills, where the government provides just 5 rupees per child per day for school lunch – about 6 cents – plus rice. They talk about the funding that's underway for a group of schools in Meghalaya to change meals there, plus what the schools can do to maintain these positive changes when the funding runs out.
