Talay Mental Institution

Yesterday morning we visited the Talay Mental Institution where we support the breakfast feeding program. We were interested in seeing what they were actually serving, as we are paying for women to serve them protein. The meal was impressive and ample, with beans, fish and rice, among other things.

In the pictures you see that they do not have beds to sleep on, but rather folds of cardboard. The conditions were quite shocking and difficult to witness. There are plenty of work opportunities there, including a lot of painting.

There is also a center that we painted on the grounds on a previous trip, and it showed that they were using it, with pews there and the paint showing some wear.
