The Happy Pod: Learning begins with breakfast
Meet the charity providing breakfast for three million children across 16 countries. We visit a school in Malawi to see how Mary's Meals is helping pupils focus on learning.
Mary's Meals is a charity providing free breakfasts for three million children across 16 countries. We visit a school in Malawi to see how the charity is helping children to focus on learning. For many students there, it is a reason to stay in school. Also on the podcast, we hear from the micro-farm in Montreal growing fruit and veg for local people on low incomes.
Plus, a social club trying to combat loneliness in Venezuela by bringing elderly people together for a dance, and the Italians coming together to save a tiny island from developers. The Happy Pod, our weekly collection of uplifting and inspiring stories from around the world. Part of the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
