A new recipe by top chef Nadia Lim will raise a few eyebrows. It's called red soup, and is made from the reheated, leftover water used to cook cheerios in.

"Heartbreaking" is the word Paul Pirihi keeps coming back to when he thinks about the poverty his students over the years have faced.

“In New Zealand today, girls should not be missing school because they don’t have sanitary products. It affects their education, reduces their career prospects, and can trap them in a cycle of poverty. We’re doing all we can to change that.”

When students do turn up for the new school year, it's in "dribs and drabs", often without uniforms or stationery. The teachers are used to it; they'll buy supplies out of their own money, keep the stationery list as brief as possible and make sure they don't make a big deal out of it.
