Read the passage and answer the given Questions:
Dinner around the World
Amy's school needed to have a fundraiser so that they could earn money to buy more computers for their school. Amy knew that many of her classmates' families were from different countries around the world. They had many special traditions, spoke many different languages, and ate many different types of foods. Amy had a fabulous idea for the fundraiser! She suggested that every student could bring in their favourite dish and they could have a traditional dinner night.
She knew parents and the invited guest would be glad to pay money in order to try foods from all over the world! "That's a great idea," Amy's teacher said. "Let's call this event 'Dinner around the World'." Amy brought in her favourite meal, chicken dumplings, with mashed potatoes. Her friend Amina was from Ethiopia, an African country. She brought in stewed beef with spices over rice pilaf with Ethiopian bread. Ibrahim was from Morocco, he brought a dish of spiced grilled lamb over white rice with fried eggplant and hummus with pita bread. Leny, from Mexico, brought chicken fajitas with Spanish rice and tortilla chips with cheese dip. Rajat, whose family is from India, brought in chicken curry over rice with raita, a sauce of yogurt mixed with cucumber. Jane, a vegetarian, brought an exclusive meal with no meat. She brought lentil soup, dinner rolls, and a delicious salad. The teacher and the children worked together as a team to earn the money to buy the new computers for their school. The fundraiser was a great success. Everyone enjoyed seeing, smelling, and tasting foods of so many different cultures.
