There are some wonderful aromas coming from the training kitchen lately. The girls in our C.A.M. program (vocational training) have been working hard with their new cooking teacher, M. Mimy. He has great rapport with the students and the skills and recipes they are learning will provide an excellent background to continue on with advanced or specialized cooking training. A fine start when they leave Akany to start their own independent lives.

Can never have enough mofo bols.
