Baking Up a Storm

As our Executive Director, Brian MacNair, travels around Haiti to our various project sites, ThinkFoodGroup Chefs Rick Billings and Andrew Nelson have been busy training 4 bakers and 2 assistants from Zamni Beni Orphanage in their newly equipped baking facility. Although the trainees are between the ages of 14-21, after just a week of training they are already baking rolls, loaves, and cornbread by themselves. ”The training was amazing. The class was so eager to learn and caught on quickly. I can’t wait to come back,” says Chef Rick Billings.

Our May newsletter will be coming out soon with more updates and photos from Haiti. If you have not already, SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to see what has been on the menu for World Central Kitchen this month, and what to look forward to in June.

 

Off to Haiti

In about a week, our Executive Director, Brian MacNair, will be joined by ThinkFoodGroup Chefs Rick Billings and Andrew Nelson in Haiti, where they will be running a 5 day program at the Zamni Beni orphanage in Croix des Bouquets. As part of World Central Kitchen’s commitment to sustainable solutions to hunger, the Chefs will be focusing on training the future bakers on using local, cost effective products to make breads for the orphanage. Once the bakery is up and running, it will not only help feed the children at the Zamni Beni orphanage, but will also sell its baked products to surrounding communities to support their philanthropic efforts.

Can you believe this?

While these women prepare meals, their children spend up to 4 hours a day searching for wood to cook that meal with.

World Central Kitchen is fixing that.

By building a kitchen for a school in Palmiste Tampe, training the local mothers to cook with clean cook stoves, and teaching the community to grow their own food- We are changing their lives forever.

You can be apart of that Change!
