Building A Future Through Cooking

We're loving the work that Infinity Culinary Training  is doing in giving young women and men in Cape Town, South Africa an opportunity to improve their lives through cooking, and doing what we can to support it.

Under the guidance of good friend, Barry Berman, ICT is closing in on its 2nd anniversary and has gone through all the growing pains, frustrations and jubilations of an organisation that depends on the largesse of others to provide scholarships for students who are trying to find their way out of blinding poverty, violence and lack of education.  It's hard work but it's worth it.  Not only does ICT train its students in basic cooking skills but also places them in jobs.  An enormous boost to those who often have to support their entire household.

We're happy that we were able to sponsor Linda on her journey to employment and have now committed to support another student for the latest course starting in September.

When so much energy is charged with negativity, it's great to see Barry and the committed staff at ICT  pouring their hearts and souls into providing positive assistance and opportunities to men and women whose voices have been unheard until now.

We'll have news about the September session once it's under way.

Be happy.
