Description: For a boys orphanage we are looking for experts
or students who can teach the boys about cooking, pastry making, etc. There is a big kitchen with enough facilities to cook
and bake. Because of a lack of staff these facilities are never used, though. The idea is to teach the boys a profession that
will give them a better chance to reintegrate in society after they have to leave the orphanage. Please note that this project
doesn’t have any resources, so it would be very much appreciated if you could raise some money before you start working with the boys, at least to pay for the required materials for the course.
Requirements: Minimum commitment: 12 weeks.
