Poonam’s dad runs the only shop in their village, while her mum collects firewood to sell. Together, they earn just enough to feed their family one meal each day. In this remote part of India, those born into poverty have few opportunities, but ten-year-old Poonam has hopes of becoming a policewoman one day. Thanks to Mary’s Meals, she is already a step closer to realising her dream. She says: “I really like the food cooked here and I like eating it! I will get educated, I want to be policewoman and I am going to keep my village beautiful and orderly.”
