Newcomer Kitchen

4 Days. 100 Boys. 140 Lunches Served. 🎉🙌

What an incredible week hosting our 8th annual lunch cooking workshop with the Grade 7 students from Crescent boys private school.

Throughout the week, women from our food business program led fun, interactive cooking demonstrations and guided the boys through hands on preparation at each table. Together they cooked, shared stories, and learned about newcomers, entrepreneurship, and the power of community.

After lunch, the boys gathered in teams for a reflection exercise, discussing, drawing and presenting what the experience meant to them. One student summed it up beautifully: “Unity Creates Community.” We could not have said it better ourselves 💗

On the menu:

• Appetizer: Indian hummus spinach rolled paranthas
• Salad: Taiwanese cucumber and grape tomato salad
• Main: Kofta meatball curry with side parantha
• Dessert: Turkish Green Cake and assorted cookies
• Drink: Nigerian sorrel beverage

As we celebrate International Women’s Day today 🌺 we are especially proud to highlight the newcomer women who led this experience. Through food, leadership, and entrepreneurship, they continue to inspire the next generation and strengthen the communities we share. Thank you for the great work!!
