Children across the world are taking pictures of their school meals. They are sending these pictures over the Internet to a young girl in Scotland. Then she shares the pictures and stories with people around the world. The girl’s name is Martha. She likes to write. So Martha decides to start her own blog (博客). Every day, she writes on the Internet about the meals she eats at school. She also takes pictures of the food.
Martha is very honest about the food. She does not just describe the food. She judges the taste of the food. She also judges how healthy the food is. Sometimes she likes the food, and sometimes she does not. Now, other people send pictures to Martha. Students around the world share their pictures of their school food!
Martha also starts her blog for another important reason. She begins to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals. Mary’s Meals works in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools. Martha encourages her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.
Martha hoped to raise about 10, 000 dollars. But the total reached 100, 000 dollars and still keeps on growing! Martha’s blog has also helped to improve meals at her school. Martha and her school friends have found their meals improved since she started writing her blog.
No one knows what will happen to Martha’s blog in the future. But this girl has already helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing pictures of her school meals.
