'Eat Like a Malawian'

For two weeks, trustee Nick Jones ate a typical diet of a malawian school boy. He hopes that his efforts will have raised over £500.

He ate 42 meals of Nsima, the Malawian staple food of thick starchy porridge made from corn, and basic vegetable Ndiwo, from cabbage and tomatoes.

Being such an extreme change from a western diet, he also had a glass of milk a day and multi-vitamins.

Nick says "The food was horrid, but I think the ordeal was worth it as it enabled me to gain a slight insight into the lives of the Malawian school children."
