Meal time

My wife, Vim, is cooking lunch: lentils, rice and vegetables. In the morning we drink tea, and in the evening, we eat vegetables and wheat bread. My mother is opening our new refrigerator, bought recently with our increased income.

Meat is very costly. But now we get a portion of fish from the farm. Sometimes we ate fish before, but not very much. It was very expensive.

Before, my family had to depend on a single food ration from the government to survive. Now with our FAO projects we produce our own wheat, rice and fish. We are not hungry any more.
