Feeding three meals a day to over 200 starving girls and boys is difficult at best. Here is the dining room filled for breakfast. As usual in the Vietnamese culture (and especially true of children), the girls eat with the girls and the boys eat with the boys.
Below is a table of boys getting ready to enjoy their morning meal of bon (a light broth with noodles, vegetables, and meat, along with rice.
This is kind of a fuzzy shot, but you can see how tightly packed everyone is. But like children everywhere, it's fun being at summer camp and there is no denying that eating is one of their favorite pasttimes.
