Day two brought us to the vibrant Catholic Nursery & Primary School in Mile 16, where over 60 enthusiastic pupils rolled up their sleeves, tied their aprons, and got straight to work! 🍳🥟🍶
The training focused on egg rolls, meat pies, and yogurt production, and the children approached every step with curiosity and joy. There was laughter in the air, the smell of fried goods warming the hall, and dozens of tiny hands eager to stir, knead, mix, and taste.
What stood out most was the incredible teamwork on display. Pupils encouraged each other, helped their classmates understand the steps, and proudly showcased their finished products with wide smiles.
💬 One pupil shared,
“I didn’t know I could cook anything! I want to try this at home with my mom.”
Beyond learning recipes, these pupils learned confidence, coordination, and a new appreciation for what they can create with their own hands. The kitchen became a classroom — and every moment was a lesson in empowerment and dignity.
We extend our gratitude to the staff of Catholic School Mile 16 for their hospitality, and to our partners from Miss Starcy Foundation, CHID and Breech Care, whose volunteers made this session smooth, safe, and successful. 🙌🏽
And none of this would be possible without the generous support of Rescue Women (REWOCAM), whose investment in grassroots change continues to spark real transformation in our communities. 💜
