      Ever taken having lunch at school for granted? It's more than likely you have. But if you lived in Ketesh, Tanzania, you probably wouldn't.

      Katesh is an African village. There is a school there, but it's about 2 miles away from the village, but the problem isn't getting to school; it's eating at it. The school doesn't have a kitchen so most often times the kids go without lunch, causing them to be hungry until they get home which in turn causes them to be less concentrated. Do you want to do something to help? The kids in the fifth grade of Baucom Elementary did, including Mr.Reseigne's, Mrs.Stauffer's, and Miss Innman's classes and they have gathered up  $2415 and counting, including a thousand dollar donation by Adrian Holt, to pay for a kitchen in the Tanzanian school.  This money will go to the Peace oCrps, and they will use it to help build the kitchen.
