Source-GIS Antigua & Barbuda/////SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAMME COMES TO BARBUDA
The entire twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda is now covered by the National School Meals Programme. This as the NSMP officially opened its Barbuda Kitchen at a ceremony in Codrington earlier today (October 15, 2024).
Minister for Education, Creative Industries and Sports Hon. Daryll Matthew says the NSMP is critical to the wholistic development of the children of Antigua and Barbuda. Minister Matthew pledged Government’s continued support to the NSMP, given its importance to the education system.
“In effect what we are doing ladies and gentlemen, is trying to put everything in place to give our students the best opportunity to learn, the best opportunity to do well, the best opportunity to become citizens of this country who can compete with anyone, anywhere in the world”, Minister Matthew stated.
The Barbuda Kitchen of the NSMP is expected to provide a hot nutritious meal to over 200 children on a daily basis. The opening of the Barbuda Kitchen comes only a few weeks after the opening of a satellite kitchen at the Urlings Primary School, which serves the southern section of Antigua.

Isn’t it wonderful to see the children in Barbuda being included in such a wonderful social program. By the way this program was initiated by the UPP under the stewardship of the then honorable Joan Massiah. But this ABLP Government saw the good in it and kept it.
However people as a financial person, I keep saying, are these program sustainable, since their is no means testing done. Children from parents that are rich and poor are been given these free meals. And I know their is no such thing called a free lunch. Someone has to pay for it.

You mean to tell me that even this program finds no favor by the Barbuda Council, only because it is the Gaston Browne administration is executing it? These people are really hostile against any and everything ABLP.
Barbudans pay attention and don’t let them fool you again and again. They do not want nothing good for you. if you are hungry and ABLP give you a bread to eat, they’ll tell you not to take it and just die of hunger. If you’re thirsty and ABLP gives you water to drink they will tell you don’t take it, just die from thirst.
What a set of angry wicked people. They have a heart of Stone. They got no soul. No forgiveness in their heart.
School meals can be a safety net for hungry children — so, I’m glad to see it implemented in A&B. However, please make sure the meals are well balanced.
If this plate is representative of what children are being fed, there is a obvious lack of fiber. We have to make sure children are eating greens/vegetables. The brain is mostly a fat organ and it requires very little carbs.
Much of todays illnesses that plagues our society stemmed from improper diets. We can arrest most of the long term dis-ease processes from become apparent in adulthood by simply eating well balanced meals as children. Also, please give the children H20 instead of juice/soda.
Lets teach the children what a balanced diet IS by using school meals as the example.
@Rhe Age of Aquarius… Veggies on there man. Look good you see!
