From the presidential palace to primary school

First Lady Philippa Karsera Christodoulides and Education Minister Athena Michaelidou cooked healthy meals for children at the Elenion primary school on Tuesday.

The pair used ingredients sourced from the garden of the Presidential palace in the meals, while also receiving gifts and listening to songs prepared by the children.

In addition, they were informed about the Sophia for Children foundation’s initiatives by its founder Marina Shacola, as the school is one where food is provided by the association.

Karsera said she was “particularly happy” because an idea she had discussed with Shacola, the provision of healthy meals, was being implemented, with oranges from the presidential orange grove now being squeezed to make orange juice for the school’s children.
